Hey wena! Hey wena! (Hey you! Hey you!) Izinyawo zami aziphumuli! (My feet won’t stop!) We’ve been waiting, we’ve been moving, Tonight, we dance until the morning! Feet are flying, hearts are high, Asambe! (Let’s go!) Sizogida size kuphele amandla! (We will dance until our strength is gone!) Izinyawo zami! (My feet!) Ziyodansa! (They will dance!) Aw’mazi uvalo! (There’s no fear!) Kuphela lapha! (Only here!) Hey wena! (Hey you!) Izinyawo zami aziphumuli! (My feet won’t stop!) Siyashisa! (It’s hot!) Kuze kuphele amandla! (Until all strength is gone!) Spin me once, spin me twice, Tonight the music takes my life! Lights are flashing, drums are calling, Awuyeke! (Don’t stop!) Sizoqhubeka size ilanga livuke! (We will go on until the sun rises!) Phakamisa izandla zakho! (Raise your hands!) Yenza umsindo! (Make some noise!) Hey wena! (Hey you!) Izinyawo zami aziphumuli! (My feet won’t stop!) Siyashisa! (It’s hot!) Kuze kuphele amandla! (Until all strength is gone!)

Izulu liyavuleka namuhla, (The sky opens today,) Asijabule, asigide! (Let’s rejoice, let’s dance!) Izinyawo zami! (My feet!) Ziyodansa! (They will dance!) Ayikho indlela! (There’s no other way!) Kuphela lapha! (Only here!) Hey wena! (Hey you!) Izinyawo zami aziphumuli! (My feet won’t stop!) Siyashisa! (It’s hot!) Kuze kuphele amandla! (Until all strength is gone!) Phakamisa izandla zakho!
