The song as sung here is in the Zulu language. The "walking through the light of God" or "marching in the light of God" lyrics are a translation of the Zulu ones.

It is a pity Salma from Sudan cannot show respect. It is always better to keep quiet rather than being rude. Swearing is also a sign of a very immature mind. All the best for the future then, Salma!

I like this song since i was very young. I would like to put it in swahili, because its really an African. I am ready to give the appropriate words in Kiswahili if given a chance.
