Let us play as the angels soar!

Let us play as the angels soar!
On this side of the Jordan shore.

Let us sing as the angels soar!

On this side of the Jordan shore.

Let us walk as the angels soar!
On this side of the Jordan shore.

Let us flap as the angels soar!
On this side of the Jordan shore.

Let us soar like the angels soar!
On this side of the Jordan shore.

Sizoshay' amaphiko ngapesheya KweJordan.

Sizohlala noJesu ngapesheya KweJordan.

Sizohamba noJesu ngapesheya KweJordan.

Sizocula noJesu ngapesheya KweJordan.

Lyrics and Music: Trad. South Africa

English lyrics and arrangement: Anders Nyberg

A children's song that allows all ages to don their imagined angelwings and become what they already are.

I have made a decisive change of the lyrics from the original version. Instead of "ngapesheya" - "on the other side" of the river Jordan we are now flapping our wings on this side of the river.

This is the only place we can flap them on.

This is what choral singing is all about; We are practising to sing like angels, rehearsing for the angelic choir, here and now.

This is the only place and time to do it.

So keep singing!

Keep flapping!

The song is also available in a Swedish version.
