Every game we play, we move with pure passion
Wear our heart on our sleeves, that’s just the fashion
We shed a tear when we lose, but our heads held high
We chant when we win, watch our spirit touch the sky
Known worldwide, put mzanzi on the map
Ask the Germans in Dortmund, they nearly got slapped
We built this legacy, brick by brick, stone by stone
In the land of the gold, in the city of pitori
Ra ba tseena Ka Bo Yellow

Look across the continent, they feel the vibration
Morocco to Egypt, we command the whole nation
Tunisia, Algeria, they know who we are
When we step on the pitch, we shine with two stars
Asia salutes us, the respect is profound
From the city to the village, hear the thunderous sound
We don’t stop, we don’t quit, we just keep on rising
With the talent we display, no, it’s not surprising
Passion in the veins, gold in the soul
Every single match, yeah, we reaching the goal
It’s the rhythm of the city, the heartbeat of home
Wherever we travel, wherever we roam
So keep the lights bright and the energy flowing
Watch the fire in our eyes, yeah, the embers are glowing
We write our own history, legacy lives on
From the break of the day until the light of the dawn
We are the bafana, we are the pride
With the nation behind us, we got nothing to hide
Champions forever, hear the stadium call
Stand up for the greatness, stand up for it all
Ra ba tseena Ka Bo Yellow
