Analysis of Ukufa!!!
Kuthi manditsho esimantshiyane isikhalo,
Izitalato zibomvu egazini labo odade barhaxwa,
Izolo besonwabile namhlanje sinxunguphele ngenxa yokufa,
Intombi yakwaZulu izolele ukufa,
Kufa nawe usazofa ,
Mhla wagula inxiziyo izobe idada emafutheni kuba sizophumla isizwe sakothu,
Ndikubambe kuqhoqhoqho ndikutsarhise lowo mphefumlo onuka isirhogo sokutsha,
Ndizokuthengela ibhokisi kanokutsho,
Owakho ungcwabo uzofana nowosaziwayo abadumileyo kuba udumile nto ndini,
Ndizokwembela phantsi komhlaba ndigangathe ngokungena lusini,
Andifuni nokuba ukuphila kufa ukunuke ngevumba,
Ohhh ukuba ubungambona xa encumile eveze elokugqibela izinyo ubunokumxolela,
Ndibolekeni intonga zibembini,ngenye ndizogqebha ukufa ngenye ndizovika,
Ndibolekeni iqhiya zibembini ngenye ndizophethela ngenye ndizobopha uvalo,
Atshil'amadam'amanzi,
Inkomo zethu zizoselaphi na?
Umlisela nomthinjana woselaphi na?
Ukufa kuqonkqoloze abantu kwaqwela namanzi,
