Ngeyekhethu kaMatjhiyana Mkandla,
Umlayedwa ngewakoVinjiwe,
Ngowatlhoga umlamuleli
kanti abanye banabalamuleli.
Bathi Matjhiyana phuma ngaphasi kwamawa,
Ngoba unganyelwe bohlwathu nabomamba,
Abongwe nabongolonyana,
UMatjhiyana nguMasungubala wakoMagwabo.
Ngusirhabha sakoMsese,
Ngesarhabhela emlonyeni kanti
abanye barhabhela ematjhagweni wabomayise,
NguMaphuthuma ngewokoNtebhu.
