Watsho
Noma ngigula uwen' umachanic
Njenge VW etenaga
Eish uyawabon' amajents ayapanica
Hamba slen' angisiye phel' u shomaker
Uwena kuphela ongibiza ngoMkhonzeni
Angibazi abo skhotheni
Ngiyababona bablome emakhoneni

Bafun' ukungiqhatha nomakhwapheni

This love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is so crazy love
Oh tis love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is like a beautiful war

This love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is so crazy love
Oh this love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is like a beautiful war

Eh bhoza yimi oshayayo
Oh and ngiya enjoyer shame

This love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is so crazy love
Oh this love baby this love baby this love
This love baby is like a beautiful war

Ayi ngiyamthanda mina umfazi wami bafethu
Noma engishaya nje bhosi kodwa kulungile nje Heavy

Yimpi emnandi
Awu ngithol' ucingo luphuma le eskhundleni
Awu mkhwenyane kandaba angazi sengenzeni

Bathi uMkhonzeni usendaba mlonyeni
Eish udaba lwakhe lugcwele emaphepheni
Bathi mangingadakwa mina ngishay' abafazi
Awu wena kandaba yazi bebangazi
Indaba lomfazi isandla sakhe sibusheshi
Ngimthand' enjalo kufunga uR Mashesha
