Nkosi sikekel' iAfrika !

I can't believe I forgot to mention the South-African ( and also ANC, Zambian and Tanzanian) anthem twice: 1st, in the post for best song to sing in a stadium and 2nd, as a send off from germany 06 to south africa 2010. If this song does not give you chills, you either need a heart transplant or a hearing device. So here it is in music and on paper: best anthem ever and it is not negotiable.

Nkosi sikelel' i Afrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa South Afrika - South Afrika.
English:
God bless Africa,
Lift her horn on high,
Hear our prayers.
God bless us
Who are Your people.

God save our nation,
End wars and strife.
South Africa.
