Lyrics:

Shosholoza
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa
Shosholoza
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa

Wena you ya baleka
Wena you ya baleka
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa

Shosholoza
Work, work, working in the sun
We will work as one
Shosholoza
Work, work, working in the rain
Till there's sun again

Shosholoza
Push, push, pushing on and on
There's much to be done
Shosholoza
Push, push, pushing in the sun
We will push as one

Sithwele kanzima, sithwele kanzima (ooh, ah!)
Sithwele kanzima, sithwele kanzima (ooh, ah!)
Sithwele kanzima, sithwele kanzima (ooh, ah!)
Sithwele kanzima, sithwele kanzima (ooh, ah!)
Sithwele kanzima, sithwele kanzima (ooh, ah!)
Etshe!

Shosholoza
Shosholoza
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa
Shosholoza
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa

Wena you ya baleka
Wena you ya baleka
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa

Shosholoza
Work, work, working in the sun
We will work as one
Shosholoza
Work, work, working in the rain
Till there's sun again

Shosholoza
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa
Shosholoza
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa

Wena you ya baleka
Wena you ya baleka
Ku lezontaba
Stimela si qhamuka e south Africa
