Hoje é o Dia da Liberdade na África do Sul

NOTA: o único hino no Mundo cantado em cinco línguas - uma bela canção:

(Xhosa) Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
(Zulu) Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

(Sotho) Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso,
O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho,
O se boloke, O se boloke setjhaba sa heso,
Setjhaba sa, South Afrika - South Afrika.

(Afrikaans) Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,

(English) Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa our land.

ADENDA: o hino completo, agora em inglês:

God [Lord] bless Africa
Raise high its glory
Hear our prayers
God bless us, her children


God, we ask You to protect our nation
Intervene and end all conflicts
Protect us, protect our nation, our nation,
South Africa - South Africa

Out of the blue of our heavens,
Out of the depths of our seas,
Over our everlasting mountains,
Where the echoing crags resound,


Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom
In South Africa our land.
