Aphuma netinyembeti

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngivukile vukani, yinkhulu lendzaba

Nilele? Akusabeli muntfu

Ngumdlwenguli lomuntfu

Ngu malume wam, imphilo yam

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngivukile vukani, yinkhulu lendzaba

Nilele? Akusabeli muntfu

Ngumbulali lomuntfu

Ngu babe wam, imphilo ya make wam

Batali bam, lishwa lam

Nilele? Akusabeli muntfu

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngivukile vukani, yinkhulu lendzaba

“Ngifikelwe madimoni mine

Angilinga mine

 Ngicoleleni bantfwabam ngiyashweleta mine”

Noma ngingacola kute lokuyongibuyela mine

Bengingati mine, nasemaphusheni ami mine

Ngalenye imini ngiyo dlwengulwa mine

 Ngidlwengulwe nguwe mine

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Umoya wam uyangishiya

Batsi utovalelwa kulahlwe netikhiya

Lijele nekujeziswa kwakho akuyongisita mine

Bozankosi nekudvonsa iminyaka akuyongisita mine

Lamagama lawa aphuma netinyembeti 

Tiyageleta njengemfula logeleta ngentsaba 

Lonendzaba uyabona yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngibhala lencwadzi ngibhalela lonendzaba

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngivukile vukani, yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngigucile ngiyanicela mine

Simo lesangehlela mine

Ngihlaba umkhosi, ngicela ningilekelele

Lona bengitsembe ngemphilo yam ungijikele

Yinkhulu lendzaba

Ngivukile vukani, yinkhulu lendzaba

Lonendzaba ngicela angisite asisite ngalendzaba

Nilele? Akusabeli muntfu

Ngumdlwenguli lomuntfu

Ngu malume wam, imphilo yam

Nilele? Akusabeli muntfu

Ngumbulali lomuntfu

Ngu babe wam, imphilo ya make wam

Batali bam, lishwa lam
