Nkosi ubhek’ isiphepho
[God you’re watching over a storm]
Namaza ngamaza agubhayo
[And the excavating waves]
Nezulu seliguqubele
[And the sky has turned grey]
Akekho baba ongasisiza
[There is no one out there to help us]
Nguwe wedwa
[You’re the only one]
CHORUS
Lapho ulalelwa ngamaza la
[That the waves get to respect]
Uma ethi( Thula thula, thula thula)
[When you say be still]
Noma ulwandle lugubhayo
[Even when the ocean is excavating]
Noma amadimoni alingayo
[Even when the demons are attacking]
Ungesishonis’ isikepe lesi
[You won’t let this ship sink]
EsinoSomandla phakathi le
[It has the Almighty in it]
Uyalalela umoya wam
[My soul shall listen to you]
Uma uthi thula
[When you say be still]
Thula uthi nya
[Be still completely]
Nkosi siyacela baba
[Lord please]
Vuka manje usisindise
[Wake up and protect]
Usisindise thina
[And protect us]
Ngokuba
[Because]
There’s no one else but you
Onakho, onakho ukusisiza
[That is able to save us]
Ngoba wena
[Because you]
(Chorus)
