Ang'saboni noma kwonakala ngwela eweni
Bathi ukuk'thanda kwam ngathi kuzongholela ek'feni
Ang'saboni noma kwonakala ngwela eweni
Ngisho abafowethu
Mabengbonisa ngawe
Ang'bambeki, Ang'khuzeki
Ngisho ekhaya mabengbonisa ngawe ang'bambeki
Nangiklobolela inhloso yodwa
Nganthanda ukuma kwakho
Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kube
Nangiklobolela inhloso yodwa
Ngachazwa ukuma kwakho
Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kube kanje
Nangiklobolela inhloso yodwa
Ngangichazwa ukuma kwakho
Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kufike nje
Namhlanje ungumkam
Umkami
Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi kuyoze kufike leskhathi
Ngangik'lobolela inhloso yodwa
Ukuk'thanda kwam ngathi kuzongholela ek'feni
Ang'saboni noma kwonakala ngwela eweni
Bathi ukuk'thanda kwam ngathi kuzongholela ek'feni
Ang'saboni noma kwonakala ngwela eweni
Ngisho abafowethu
Mabengbonisa ngawe
Ang'bambeki, Ang'khuzeki
Ngisho ekhaya mabengbonisa ngawe
Ang'bambeki
Ang'kafuni ukuzwa lutho
Beng'nga'funga ukufa komntu
Ngang'ngak qhuba ukusuka kothul'
Ngiyafunga ngiyagomela
Makakuhluphe umuntu kulokhu
Lalingaphuma ukhuni kumuntu
Mayengacuphu uchuku umuntu
Wami engimthandayo oh yeah
Yena ulubambo
