The song is filled with powerful poetic verses and rich metaphors.

Verse

Bekukudala ngoko useneminqweno

(You have been having aspirations for so long)

Khawude uwele ibhulorho uze nganeno

(Cross the bridge and come over)

Bekukudala ngoko usenazinjongo

(You have had those goals for a while)

Khawude uwele ibhulorho, uze nguyenaneno

(Cross the bridge and come over)

Sasikhule sonke

(We grew up together)

Sphupha emazulwini

Scakamel′ilanga (scakamela’ilanga)

(Chilling under the sun)

Yiza ndikhumbuze

(Let me remind you)

The True Meaning of “Ubomi Abumanga”

Breaking Down the Words
– Ubomi = Life
– Abumanga = “Does not stop” (from “awubumanga” – “it does not wait”)

The Core Message

– Every ending is a new beginning – Just as the sun rises after the darkest night, life always offers another chance.

Why This Proverb Matters in Difficult Times

When facing adversity, it’s easy to feel like:
– The pain will last forever
– Failure defines you
– The world has moved on without you

But Ubomi Abumanga teaches:

-Your struggles are temporary – Life’s rhythm continues, and so will you

-You are stronger than your circumstances – Just as nature persists through storms, you too can endure.

-A new day always comes– The sun rises without fail, and so will your hope.

With lyrics like “Asoze abekho ofana nawe” (there will never be someone like you), the song also encourages listeners to hold on, stay true to themselves, and trust that better days are coming.

Ubomi Abumanga. Life hasn’t stopped — and neither should you.

Let today be your reminder that hope is never in vain. You may not control the storm, but you can choose to believe in the sunrise.
