Yekhethu kaSongubo kaliPhahla,
Ihubejani lakaJaji,
Ngumalil’ angabethwa.
Yinyosi emhlophe,
Ngeyakhamba eenqatheni
zikaNzunza kaNanasi kaMhlanga.
Waya nedonga ukunenezela,
Egegeni elimlophe leentaba,
Bagiriza amazala ngamadolo.
USoMhlawulani wathi kulusweni?
Ilihlo aliboni, libona emdakaneni,
UMsiza yikosi engalali emzini,
Yakhe yalinga ukulala emzini,
Yalala isotha umlilo weenhlanga.
