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,
the rain is over and gone.
And the flowers appear upon 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.
Rise up, my love
my fair one and come away, come away.

For lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
And the flowers appear upon 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 swallow (devour) us.

Through love, only,
let us open our hearts,
and let us fear nothing,
All situations cannot swallow (devour) us.

Through love, through love only
