Lyrics
Shosholoza, shosholoza,
Ku lezontaba, stimela siphum' eSouth Africa.
Wen' uyabaleka, wen' uyabaleka,
Ku lezontaba, stimela siphum' eSouth Africa.

(Go forward, go forward, through those mountains, the train from South Africa.
You are running, you are running, through those mountains, the train from South Africa.)
