Oh the river is wide and the water is deep
Got no money and I can't get to sleep
Takes all my courage to look down that long road
Going to Giyani with such a heavy load
I've got to shintsha, qina, qhingel'isibindi (Don't give up)
Shintsha, qina, qhuba phambili (Don't give up)
I've got to shintsha, qina, qhingel'isibindi (Don't give up)
Shintsha, qina
Oh, I'm going to Giyani (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, leave all my troubles behind me (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, I'm going to Giyani (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, I'm going to touch that magic mystery (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Did you hear about the mouse that went to the cat for love
Cat said "mouse, I can't be what you're dreaming of
You so lonely, you got it mixed up
You're looking down below for what lies up above"
You got to shintsha, qina, qhingel'isibindi (Don't give up)
Shintsha, qina, qhuba phambili (Don't give up)
You got to shintsha, qina, qhingel'isibindi (Don't give up)
Shintsha, qina
Oh, I'm going to Giyani (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, Leave all my troubles behind me (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, I'm going to Giyani (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Oh, I'm going to touch that magic mystery (Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni)
Siyayibiz' asambeni, hayi ngane yamaShangane!
Siyayibiz' asambeni, asambeni bo!
