Akuphumeki la
Bahlala bey-control impilo yami
Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi
Oh kutheni
Nihlala niy-control impilo yami
Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi

Ai ndodana kaMaria mfethu
Cel'ungiph'indlebe wemfethu
Mina ngyakudinga
Samuel ayekhon' amathambo amhlophe injabulo yami we-oe
Mhlampe ukudala mina kwaba yiphutha mina mistake
Ngeke kuthi ungleth'emhlabeni ukuthi ngihlupheke
Ngize ngife abantu ba-rich emoyeni, emophefumulweni
Enyameni, nasemaphaketheni
Mina ngilala ngingadlile baba

Ah mangawin'ilotto we-oe
Eh ngibashiye bonke we-oe
Eh ngath ngawin'ilotto mina
Ngibashiye bonke we-oe

Akuphumeki la
Bahlala bey-control impilo yami
Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi
Oh kutheni
Nihlala niy-control impilo yami
Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi

Andazi bafunani kumina
Andazi kushodani kumina
Yonk'int abayifunayo ndiyabanika
Ihappiness bona bayandncisha
Tago bawo baxolele
Tago bawo baxolele
Tago bawo baxolele
Abakwaz'abakwenzayo bona
Tago bawo baxolele
Tago bawo baxolele
Tago bawo baxolele
Abakwaz'abakwenzayo bona

Akuphumeki la
Bahlala bey-control impilo yami
Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi
Oh kutheni
Nihlala niy-control impilo yami




Ngaske ngiwini-lotto
Ndihambe ndingabuyi
