It's "Helele" by Velile & Safri Duo and the lyrics are as follows:

Chorus (2x):

Helele, bomama

Amasiko ethu

Soze aphele kithi

Nabo okhokho bethu

Go for it, children of our mothers!

Our traditions

Will never cease to exist at our place

Nor will our ancestors

Verse:

Amaqhawe esizwe

(Asibonge komama)

Abathokozisa bethu

(Asibonge abazali)

Izimbali zesizwe

(Asibonge komama)

The heroes of the nation

(Let's thank our mothers)

Our wellsprings of joy

(Let's thank our parents)

The flowers of the nation

(Let's thank our mothers)

Pre-chorus:

Uma mina nawe singabambisana

Uma mina nawe singahloniphana

If me and you could help each other

If me and you could respect each other

[chorus (2x)]

Verse:

Amaqhawe esizwe

(Asibonge komama)

Bona basikhulisa

(Asibonge abazali)

Yini ehlula abazali

(Asibonge komama)

The heroes of the nation

(Let's thank our mothers)

It was them who brought us up

(Let's thank our parents)

What could overpower our parents?

(Let's thank our mothers)

Pre-chorus:

Uma mina nawe singabonisana

Uma mina nawe singahloniphana

If me and you could look after each other

If me and you could respect each other

[chorus (1x)]

Bridge:

Phambili, bomama

Themba lesizwe

Hheyi ubuhle benu

Soze buphele

Forward, children of our mothers

Hope of the nation

Hey, your beauty

Will never cease to exist

[chorus (2x)]
