Nangona wahamba ndiseyimveku nje,

Iyabonakala indawo yakhe ebomini bam

Nangona sele ndiyindoda nje ngoku,

Kodwa zimane zisihla iinyembezi xa ndimcinga,

Ndicinga ukuba inokuba ngebunjani ubomi

Ukuba ebekhona yena

Kaloku ndazi intwanana yolonwabo,

Amaxesha amaninzi ndintywizisa iinyembezi

Kaloku ndishiyiwe zizihlobo nendibathandayo,

Ndadinga igxalaba lokulilela akabikho umama

Bundibethile ubomi akabikho umama azokundixhasa

Mhla ndiwileyo zange kubekho mntu wokundiphakamisa

Nangona nje ubomi bunzima,

Ze umxelele umama ndiyaphila

Utsho kuye ukuba ngoku ndiqinile noko,

Ndiyakwazi noxa ndiwile ndivuke ndizivuthulule

Ndithi noxa iinyembezi zifuna ukuhla

Ndizibambe ndikhumbule ukuba ndiyindoda ngoku

Yitsho kuye ukuba ndiyakwazi ngoku ukuziphilela,

Ndinazo izisombululo kwiingxaki zam

Ndiyakwazi nam ukuhoya abeza emva kwam,

Ukuthuthuzela abo banyembezana

Umazise ukuba noMakhulu sewalandulela eli,

Kundithathe ixesha ukwamkela ukuba akasekho

Kodwa ke ndamkele ngoku,

Buyaqhubeka ubomi

Mazise ukuba umnt’akwethu umane ukuphambuka,

Kodwa ndiyazama ukumlungisa

Yena udade wethu uyaphila, naye uyazama

Umama unabo nabazukulwana phaya ekhaya nezizuku-zuku

Mxelele ukuba sonke siyaphila,

Siyafuna ukumbona emathongweni
