Fire Dancer – Voices of South Africa

Where the Flame Speaks Every Tongue

English


Let the drums of Heaven sound,
Let the sparks fall to the ground.
I will not move, I will remain,
A dancer in His Holy flame.
Fire Dancer, ever true,
The flame in me,
burns because of You.

Zulu


Makhonkolo aseZulwini akhale,
Amaqhuma ehle emhlabeni.
Angiyi kuhamba, ngizohlala,
Umgqi wothando lwakhe ngiphila.
Mdanisi womlilo, oqotho njalo,
Umlilo kimi,
uyashisa ngenxa Yakho.

Xhosa


Izigubhu zezulu mazivakale,
Iintsh Sparks maziwehle emhlabeni.
Andiyi kushukuma, ndiza kuhlala,
Ndingu mdanisi womlilo Ongcwele.
Mdanisi womlilo, othembekileyo,
Umlilo kum,
utsha ngenxa yakho.

Sesotho


Marumo a Leholimo a letse,
Mothapo o wa fatshe.
Nka se sisinye, ke tla dula,
Ke motsamaisi mollong o Halalelang.
Motants’i wa mollo, wa nnete,
Mollo ka hare ho nna,
o tuka ka baka la Hao.

Afrikaans


Laat die tromme van die Hemel slaan,
Laat die vonke grond toe gaan.
Ek sal nie wyk, ek sal bly staan,
’n Danser in Sy Heilige vlam.
Vuurdans, altyd waar,
Die vlam in my,
brand omdat U daar is.
