From lands they came

with faith, a flame,

In Cape town's heart, their name

Was build

through prayers and pain

Mosques rose where hope once lay

they stood strong every day

Spices filled the air, sweet with warmth

Their history meets

Colourful streets, a story told

They still sing, they still pray

The Cape Malay spirits are still there
