Sengifisa nokubuyisel’ isikhathi emuva
Sengifis’ ukuvusa okhokho basuse lesiqalekis’ abasishiya naso
Sengibona sisele siyisizukulwan’ esidukile
Isizukulwan’ esingenayo impokophelo
Isizukulwan’ esidwangudwanguza ehlane
Imishad’ angiyiboni kulesi sizukulwane

Intsha yethu seyaminz’ ezinkambini ith’ idla ubusha bayo
Kaze bona lobo busha kuyabasuthisa yini?
Sezihamb’ emakhaya zishiy’ omama nogogo
Zingabi nandaba nabantwana bazo
Hhayi min’ angiyiboni imishado manje

Sengibona kahle thina saqalekiswa
Saqalekiswa maqede bangena nas’ ethuneni
Sengifisa nokusihlehlisa leso siqalekiso

Kodwa nathi bant’ abasha silahlekile
Asisenanhlonipho sesivele sijole bukhoma phambi kwabant’ abadala
Angisaphath’ uma senidelisana ngenhlal’ ivuthiwe phambi komunt’ omdala
Kant’ ubani okufanel’ ahloniphe omunye manje
Mina ngazi kuyith’ esibasha okufanele sihloniphe
Sesazandisel’ umthwalo wezono nokungeke wakhumuka
