Ndikhumbula amaxesha akudala
usekhon'emhlabeni wena

ndicel'ukubonga mama

kalok'utata wasishiya kudala
ibiyintando yakho bawo

lade lafik'elakh'ixesha

bawo ndiyakucela
ndingadanis'abazali bam
naninina bawo
ndiyakucela nkosi yam
ndingadanisi abazali bam
naninina bawo

ndiyak'cela, nkosi yam
ndingadanis'abazali bam
naninina bawo
ndiyakucela nkosi yam
ndingadanisi abazali bam

bawo ndiyacela kuwe
ohh qamatha ndicel'undiph'amandla
ndibe ngumntu wabantu nkosi yam
njengoba ndafundiswa ekhaya
ndiyabulela bazali bam

konk'endikwenzayo
imizamo yam
yokubonisa abantu intliziyo zenu
andisakwazi ukuzibamba mna inyembezi
uthi mandenze njani (bawo)

bawo ndiyakucela (ndiyakucela)
