Ayo Ayo lyrics by Phathiswa Magangane
A
Izinkanyezi z’yamoyizela ebusuku
Z’yacwebezela
Zibulisa bonke abantu
B
Ziyabulis’ (ayo ayo)
Z’yacwebezel’ (ayo ayo, yeh)
Z’yamoyizel’ (ayo, ayo)
Zikhanyisela umhlaba
Nomakuphi
Ebunzimen’
Enkatha zwen’
Zikhanyisel’ ilizwelonke
C
Vula
Awu vul’inhilziyo
Mehlo
Awu vule namehlo
Yamkela ikusasa lakho
Ligcwel’izibusiso
Ungesabi lutho
Landela izinkanyezi
Izinkanyezi zangaphakathi
D
Ngaphakathi
BRIDGE
Lizukuvusa
Vusa,
Livus’umoya
Landela izwilakho
Ayo ayo
TRANSLATED LYRICS:
A
The stars smile at night
They shine,
They greet everyone

They greet,
They shine,
They smile,
They light up the world
Wherever you are
In difficult times
In times of trouble
They light up the world
C
Open,
Open your heart,
Your eyes.
Open your heart.
Embrace your future,
It is full of blessings
Do not be afraid,
Follow the stars,
Your inner stars
D
Inside
BRIDGE
It will wake you up
Awaken,
Awaken your spirit
Follow what leads you

Rising waves
Wash away

Weaving their tale.
Stories to witness their lives,
Hold them up high
And this patchwork that once was a shroud,
Now
Flying free like a flag, proclaiming loud
