Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula Imvula
Ndizawuqabela Ndizawuqabela Ndizawuqabela Ndizawuqabela
Apho amatapha nentsimi eluhlaza
Ndizawuqabela Ndizawuqabela
Izikhephe ezizotyiweyo zibhabha emoyeni
Njengentaka (Njengentaka) ndiyabhabha,
Ndibamba umoya
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Ndibambelele ngamaphiko
Iza ngomso
Iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Makube ngomso
Iza ngomso
Iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Makube ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Iyeza imini
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Ndibhabha, Ndibhabha, ndidada emhlabeni wonke,
Ndibamba umoya
Phezukwe santizasendle,
Phezukwamalwandle namachibi
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Njengentaka ndiyacula
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha Ndibambelele ngamaphiko Njengentaka ndiyacula
Iza ngomso
Iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Makube ngomso
Iza ngomso
Iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Makube ngomso
Lizaw'balela
Lizaw'balela
Lizaw'balela
Makube ngomso
Lizaw'balela
Lizaw'balela
Lizaw'balela
Makube ngomso
Song translation Christopher Tin - Iza Ngomso into English
The rain will come back from heaven
The mist is also rain and clouds
The rain will come back from heaven
The mist is also rain and clouds
Rain Rain Rain
I will climb I will climb I will climb I will climb on
Where the tides and the green field
I will rent it I will rent it
Sailboats fly in the air
Like a bird (Like a bird) I fly,
I hold my breath
Like a bird flying,
Hold me by the wings
Comes tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
It will be sunny
Let it be tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
It's going to be sunny
Let it be tomorrow
It will be sunny
The day is coming
The rain will come back from heaven
The mist is also rain and clouds
The rain will come back from heaven
The mist is also rain and clouds
I fly, I fly, I swim across the globe,
I hold my breath
Highest in the wild,
Above the seas and lakes
Like a bird flying,
Like a bird I sing
Like a bird I fly And hold on my wings Like a bird I sing
Comes tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
It will be sunny
Let it be tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
Comes tomorrow
It's going to be sunny
Let it be tomorrow
Will count on you
Will count on you
Will count on you
Let it be tomorrow
Will count on you
Will count on you
Will count on you
Let it be tomorrow
