M N Marimba/Nkosi
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
African Alphabet
Verse 1
Music plays, the beats a thumpin’,
Marimba rhythm gets us bumpin’.
Our feet are moving left and right,
Keep on dancing through the night!
Everyone is oh-so happy,
Marimba rhythm gets us clapping.
And when we think it’s gonna end,
They start to play our song again!
Chorus
“M” is for the marimba (la la la la la la).
The music of the marimba (la la la la la la).
“M” is for the marimba (la la la la la la).
The music of the marimba (la la la la la la).
Verse 2
Nkosi sikelele’ I Africa,
The anthem of our nation South Africa.
Nkosi sikelele’ I Africa,
Nkosi, sikelela ,
Thina lusapho lwayo
Chorus
“N” is for Nkosi Sikelele Africa,
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
“N” is for Nkosi Sikelele Africa,
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
Chorus (modulation)
“M” is for the marimba (la la la la la la).
The music of the marimba (la la la la la la).
“M” is for the marimba (la la la la la la).
The music of the marimba (la la la la la la).
Chorus
“N” is for Nkosi Sikelele Africa,
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
“N” is for Nkosi Sikelele Africa,
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
Our beautiful Nkosi Sikelele Africa.
