Google translate from Zulu to English:

tomorrow I left
Be loved
We will call each other. We will call each other
You are my mind,
Ooh you're the one who will end people,
You are my mind,
You are the one who ends,

Yes, you go
Go you, go
Go you, go
Go you, go
Go you, go"

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE

Pancocojams Editor's Note: Based on what I've read online, it appears that the Amapiano song has been given a different meaning (encouraging someone to continue dancing: "You go, Girl" or "You Go Boy") rather than the lyrics' literal meanings (Saying goodbye to a beloved person who is leaving). The Gwijo songs adhere to the literal meanings of those words.

Also, the tune and beats for the Gwijo songs are different than the tune and beats for the Amapiano song. 

Also, notice that the two sets of lyrics for that are given for this Gwijo in this post aren't  exactly the same. In addition, the lyrics for these "Hamba Wena" Gwijos are quite different from the lyrics for the Amapiano song "Hama Wena" by Deep London and Boohle that are given on https://genius.com/Deep-london-and-boohle-hamba-wena-lyrics.

Please share information and your opinions about the similarities and differences between these "HambaWena" Gwijos and the Amapiano song entitled "Hamba Wena".
