[Verse 1]
Hela Chileshe
Ungabayeki bakubizi ikirimani
Nawu ngumuntu
Uzovuka nini (Welele Ngobese)
Welele Ngobese
Yeka ukubiza abanye abantu izilwane
Nabo ngabantu
Uzofunda nini (Hey nina mabhunu)
Helele mabhunu
Yekani ukubiza abanye abantu amakhafula
Nabo ngabantu
Nizocava nini (Thimela, thimela)
Thimlela tsotsi
Yeka ukugwaza abanye abantu ngemimese
Nabo ngabantu
Uzokhula nini (Ngenkululeko yethu)

[Chorus]
Ngenkululeko yethu
Mina ngangiboni
Ngiboni igazi lethu elichithwa ngesandla zethu
Hlanganani, hlanganani
Yekelani ukumonakala
IZizwe ziyazihleka
Lalelani zinothando
[Verse 2]
Helele Chileshe
Ungabayeki bakubizi ikirimani
Nawe ngumuntu
Uzovuka nini
Welele Ngobese
Yeka ukhubiza abanye abantu izilwane
Nabo ngabantu
Uzofunda nini
Helele mabhunu
Yekani ukubiza abanye abantu amakhafula
Nabo ngabantu
Nizocava nini
Thimlela tsotsi
Yeka ukugwaza abanye abantu ngemimese
Nabo ngabantu
Uzokhula nini
Helele (Sonke singabantu)

[Flugelhorn Solo]

[Chorus]
Nge nkululeko yethu
Mina ngangiboni
Ngiboni igazi lethu elichithwa ngesandla zethu
Hlanganani, hlanganani
Yekelani ukumonakala
IZizwe ziyazihleka
Lalelani zinothando
[Verse 3]
Helele Chileshe
Ungabayeki bakubizi ikirimani
Nawe ngumuntu
Uzovuka nini
Welele Ngobese
Yeka ukhubiza abanye abantu izilwane
Nabo ngabantu
