[Verse 1]
Ayibalulekanga imoto oyiqhubayo
Andizikhathalelanga iimpahla ozingxibayo
Nob' ubeth' iLoxion Kulca okanye ushay' iBillabong
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika then we're singing the same song

[Chorus]
Akukho mali, asinamali
As'funi mali, s'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi, asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi, sifun' uthando

[Verse 2]
Nguban' othe suhlal' ezulwini nangona usemhlabeni
Nguwe wedwa ozibambezelayo, ubomi ngobakho
Selifikile ixesha lokusenza isigqibo sokuphila
Ub' ubiziwe yiAfrika, the same song we all sing

[Chorus]
Akukho mali, asinamali
As'funi mali, s'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi, asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi, sifun' uthando

[Bridge]
Where are you going? Where are you coming from?
Where are you going? Where are you coming from?
Where are you going?
Are you coming from Senegal, Libya, Congo, Zimbabwe?
Egypt, Nigeria, Mali, Rwanda?
Uganda, Botswana, Malawi, Zanzibar?
Kapa, Thekwini, Joburg, Soweto, Ebhayi, Mowbray Kaap?
[Verse 3]
Ootata bethu kudala bekhala: the same job for thirty years
Akukho nto ibonakalayo- except for thirty kids
Nob' uqhub' iDatsun endala
Okanye ushay' iMercedes Benz
Ub' ubiziwe yi Afrika, the same song we all sing

[Chorus]
Akukho mali, asinamali
As'funi mali, s'fun' ubumnandi
Akukho bumnandi, asinamnandi
As'fun' bumnandi, sifun' uthando

[Bridge]
