Little Drummer Boy Lyrics by Nomfundo Moh
Deep down in my heart
I wish I could bring a proper gift
Gift, something for our new born king
Gift, something that he could keep
Amandla awavuuumi
Oh, amandla awavuuumi
It’s the thought that counts, I guess!
Well lemme be there at least asiiiye!
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz inkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz inkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz inkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz inkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Baby Jesus
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
That’s fit to give our king
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Shall I play for you
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
On my drum
Hey, come on, asiye!
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz iNkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz iNkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz iNkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Ngibe khona nam
Ukyobungaz iNkosi
Ngibe khona nam (Drummer boy, drummer boy)
Mary nodded
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my drum for him
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
I played my best for him
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Then he smiled at me
Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Me and my drum
Ngibe khona nam
Me and my drum
