Yekhethu kaDima SoMlembelele,
Umaphunga ekomeni, abanye
baphunga ebantwini,
Mrhobho wamanghana.
Yindlovu yakoThembani,
Ngeyakhwela intaba sinyovani,
Ngokuhlonipha umbokwayo nokwesaba
ukufulathela amadoda.
Amadoda athi akhwel’ intaba ayayilandela,
Yajika ubuso yabaqala,
Yabaqala ebusweni badengezel bebavevezela,
Mlobokazi owathi endile walengelel’ amathimila,
Kwakumzukwana abethana nethole emlanjeni,
Yayingasimathimila kwakusiyaya.
