Ilezi ey'xukuz' ugebhezi
Lezi ey'nqwamanis' ipeni nokalakateni
Lezi ey'nok'dida amaxheg' azinguga
Zishiy' amakhehla ashaqiw' angahleli
Inemidanti lemicu
Ifosela ngale komthala iwel' ebhandeni
Inamanani angenani
Izibal' ezibalwa kabili oxhakaxholweni
Ilezi ey'xaka abadeshi
Ilezi ey'khipha nabefundisi okhololweni
Ilezi ey'did' izimboni zixak' amagedla
Zikhiph' amakholwa okholweni
Iyo lendaba enok'thint' abaningi
Keph' isimo sayo nenjula ay'buzeki
Izo lezidubedube
Ezidala kudinwe kudideke abant' emhlabeni.
Ilezi ey'melwe emoyeni zimelw' abayeni
Okuyib' abangabonwa ungekamemezi
Ze babonakal' emehlweni enyama
Babonakal' emaphusheni
Ingebhezi ikapakel' eb'chosheni
Ithambo lengqondo liphelel' ek'mayeni
Ithambo nethambo lelekwe imithambo
Ethandela iphumele nasemaxhalweni
Ilezi ey'xaka abadeshi
