Uthando lungenhla bath salute laph'enkabini
Izitha zangjaha noma ngilinda ngabafile
Nkabi nation uthando lunye nje abangthinte
Noma ngenemall aphamabounce ngbangitraffic
Wangfundis'ukuswenka kodwa nje angichomi
Ngenge zasengenhla ayikh'intombi ethi ayingiqomi
Mafana fanayo shayi 2piece yeskoshi
Bangithathel'ekhanda kodwa angisqoki nesqoko
Iskole angisqedanga baba eish bangixosha
Yebo ngangasthandi ewu ngangidoja
Yazi nginereport elibhalikuthi inkinzi kalova
Baba asbuye sxoxe banglindile ngsayoperfom
