Ophilayo wesab’ukufa,
Ofiley’usekunqobeni.
Abasemathongeni bahlakaniphile,
Kulabase Mhlabeni.
Bayakwaz’ukuvakatsha kwabaphilay’emaphutsheni,
Bebabonis’impilo.
Bangamadloz’okusiz’abaphilayo.
Ngiyekeleni ngihambe kwelasemathongeni,
EMhlabeni ngiphilile.
Ngivumeleni ngibe lidlozi,
Zimbil’impilo semfun’ukuphil’impil’entsh’engcono.
La engizokwaz’ukubon’ebenyama bona bengamboni.
