eng: Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe |
nde: Kalibusiswe Ilizwe leZimbabwe |
Lift high the banner, the flag of Zimbabwe
The symbol of freedom proclaiming victory
We praise our heroes’ sacrifice,
And vow to keep our land from foes
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.
Oh lovely Zimbabwe, so wondrously adorned
With mountains, and rivers cascading, flowing free
May rain abound, and fertile fields
May we be fed, our labour blessed
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.
Oh God, we beseech Thee to bless our native land
The land of our fathers bestowed upon us all
From Zambezi to Limpopo
May leaders be exemplary
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land. |
Phakamisan iflegi yethu yeZimbabwe
Eyazalwa yimpi yenkululeko
Legaz’ elinengi lamaqhawe ethu
Silivikele ezithan izonke
Kalibusisiwe ilizwe leZimbabwe.
Khangelan’ iZimbabwe yon’ ihlotshiwe
Ngezintaba lang’ miful’ ebukekayo,
Izulu kaline, izilimo zande
Iz’ sebenzi zenam’, abantu basuthe
Kalibusisiwe ilizwe leZimbabwe.
Nkosi busis’ ilizwe lethu leZimbabwe
Ilizwe labokhokho bethu thina sonke
Kusuk’ eZambezi kusiy’ eLimpopo
Abakhokheli babe lobuqotho
Kalibusisiwe ilizwe leZimbabwe. |

Nyika yamadzitateguru edu tose
Kubva Zambezi kusvika Limpopo,
Navatungamiri vave nenduramo
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe. |
