Day by day, I feel a little stronger
You're so far away, and I won't be here much longer
In the dead of night, I see your face shine
Across that distance that's come into our lives

Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't you cry
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister you want to fly
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't you cry
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't look behind

Step by step, I'm going to get a little nearer
Inside my head I can see a little clearer
This is your time, you have to play
Ubuhlungu bye bye, you're on your way

Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't you cry
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister you want to fly
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't you cry
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Hey sister don't look behind

Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye

Um oh, weh mame

Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
Umnandi hello, ubuhlungu bye bye
