If you're wondering what this beautiful song means like me, here are some lyrics I found online. Native speakers, please correct me where I am wrong. Xhosa] Ndikhokhele Bawo, zundi kokhele (Lead me oh Father [Lead me]) Ndikhokhele mmeli wami (Lead me my savior) Ezintsizini, Zalomhlaba Bawo (in all the sorrows of this world Father) (Bawo, Bawo, Bawo) ( Father, Father, Father) Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you) Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect/keep me) (Repeat) Thaluthele thuze kwami (You calm all my fears) (Bawo, bawo, bawo) ( Father, Father, Father) Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you) Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)

[@veedeepus8769]
