Rise Up, My Love
Music: Bradley Ellingboe

Rise up, my love,
my fair one
and come away, come away.

Rise up my love,
my fair one
and come away, come away.

For lo, the winter is past,
rain is over and gone.
And the flowers appear up on the earth.

Come away, come away!

The time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle dove is heard.

Rise up my love,
my fair one
and come away, come away.

For lo, the winter is past,
rain is over and gone.
And the flowers appear up on the earth.

My love, rise up!
And come away.

Ngothando
Composer: Mbuso Ndlovu

Ngothando kuphela,
Sonqoba konke.
Izimo zonke azinakusigwinya.

Ngothando kuphela,
SivuI’iinhliziyo zethu.
Singesabi lutho.
Izimo zonke azinakusigwinya.

Ngothando Ngothando,
ngothando kuphela.
Ngothando kuphela.


[Translation]

Through love, only,
We will conquer everything,
All situations cannot devour us.

Through love, only,
Let us open our hearts
And let us fear nothing
All situations cannot devour us.

Through love, through love
Through love, only,
Through love, only.
