Yimpi yakamabonw’ abulawe le
Kona kalephi mazulu?
Yaqothw’imbokod’abantu abana zwelo

Yaqothwa imbokodo
Yaqothwa nesisekelo sayo
Zintloko zamakhaya
Nisenga inkomo nethole

Ukhamba aluyifuzanga imbiza
UTat’uMadiba akusiyona inkululeko alwela yona le
Ubuntu buniphelele
Engakhal’ifela embelekweni
Mbokodo yami entle asingayibethi indiva
Atshabalala amaphupho ethu ngezwe
Atshabalaliswa ngalaba babulali
Abagcwele izwe
Akuzona itloko zamakhaya ezi enganazwelo
