Lyrics
I’ve heard about this baby boy
– Ngizwile ngalo mfana
Who’s come to earth to bring us joy
– Ubani oza emhlabeni ezosilethela injabulo
And I just want to sing this song to you
– Futhi ngifuna nje ukucula le ngoma kuwe
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
– Kufana nalokhu, okwesine, okwesihlanu
The minor fall, the major lift
– Ukuwa okuncane, ukuphakanyiswa okukhulu
With every breath, I’m singing Hallelujah
– Ngiphefumula njalo, ngicula I-hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
A couple came to Bethlehem
– Umbhangqwana othile weza Ebhetlehema
Expecting child, they searched the inn
– Njengoba babelindele ingane, bahlola indawo yokungenisa izihambi
To find a place, for You were coming soon
– Ukuze uthole indawo, Ngoba wawuzofika maduze
There was no room for them to stay
– Kwakungekho ndawo ababengahlala kuyo
So in a manger filled with hay
– Ngakho emkhombeni ogcwele utshani
God’s only Son was born, oh, Hallelujah
– Indodana kankulunkulu okuwukuphela Kwayo yazalwa, oh, Haleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
The shepherds left their flocks by night
– Abelusi babeshiya imihlambi yabo ebusuku
To see this baby wrapped in light
– Ukubona le ngane isongwe ukukhanya
A host of angels led them all to You
– Izingelosi eziningi Zabaholela Kuwe
It was just as the angels said
– Kwakufana nje nezingelosi
“You’ll find Him in a manger bed”
– “Uzomthola embhedeni wesigebengu”
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
– U-imanuweli Nomsindisi, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
A star shone bright, up in the east
– Inkanyezi yayikhanya ngokukhazimulayo, empumalanga
To Bethlehem, the wise-men three
– Ebhetlehema, abahlakaniphileyo abathathu
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
– Kwafika amakhilomitha amaningi futhi wahamba isikhathi Eside kuwe
And to the place at which You were
– Futhi endaweni owawukuyo
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
– Impepho yabo negolide nemure
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
– Baninika Futhi bamemeza Haleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
I know You came to rescue me
– Ngiyazi ukuthi uze ukuzongisindisa
This baby boy would grow to be
– Lo mfana omncane wayezokhula abe
A man and one day die for me and you
– Indoda futhi ngolunye usuku ngifela mina nawe
My sins would drive the nails in You
– Izono zami zaziyokushayela izipikili
That rugged cross was my cross too
– Leso siphambano esiqinile naso sasiyisiphambano sami
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
– Noma kunjalo konke Ukuphefumula Kwakho kwakuyi haleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
– Uhaleluya, Uhaleluya
