Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika

Ahead of the soccer world cup, if you are South African and STILL don't know the words to our national anthem - here is my contribution to this event in the interest of national pride. To kick-start your learning experience you can listen to a version being sung here.

(Xhosa) Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, (Zulu) Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo. (Sesotho) Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso, O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho, O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso, Setjhaba sa, South Afrika - South Afrika. (Afrikaans) Uit die blou van onse hemel, Uit die diepte van ons see, Oor ons ewige gebergtes, Waar die kranse antwoord gee, (English) Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
