Anthem Lyrics

Nkulunkulu Mnikati wetibusiso teMaswati,


Siyatibonga tonkhe tinhlanhla,


Sibonga iNgwenyama yetfu,


Live netintsaba nemifula.





Busisa tiphatsi mandla taka Ngwane


Nguwe wedvwa Somandla wetfu;


Sinike kuhlanipha lokungenabucili


Simise usicinise, Simakadze.
Anthem Lyrics English

O Lord our God, bestower of the blessings of the Swazi;


We give Thee thanks for all our good fortune;


We offer thanks and praise for our king;


And for our fair land, its hills and rivers;





The Blessings be on all rulers of our country;


Might and power are Thine alone;


We pray Thee to grant us wisdom without deceit or malice.


Establish and fortify us, Lord Eternal.
