(Sung in Xhosa)
Xa ndi wela, uMfula iJordane (Every time I cross the River of Jordan)
Ndazi lahla izono zam (I am cleansed of my sins)
Refrain:
Ndazi lahla izono zam (I am cleansed of my sins) x4
(From the top)
Hmm…
(Refrain)
Ndodana yam edukileyo, (My long lost son)
Buyela kimi ekhaya (Come back home to Me) x4
Ndimile apha, eJordane, (I stand here, at Jordan)
Abanye baya wela (Where others are crossing) x4
Abanye baya ngale, abanye baya ngale (Others come to this place)
Abanye baya wela (Others are crossing) x2
Abanye bemile bazum’ izono zabo (Abanye baya wela)
Ndineke inkosi ndiwel’ imfulishotane (Abanye baya wela)
Ndimile apha…
