EMATHUNENI

EMATHUNENI

Sisemathuneni sofihl'uzakwethu,
Bayakhala bayabalisa
Babodw'abakhihl'esikanandi,
Bekhalisw'ukuhamba nomushabalala komumunandi,
Sesoyifihl'injabulo
Sogqib'intokomalo.

Sisemathuneni sofihl'uzakwethu,
Basukuma bafakaza baqeda
Ngasukuma ngacel'ipeni nephepha
Ngabhal'inkondlo
Nami ngizovalelisa.

Besikuthanda,
Ubuwuthando
Igugu nenjabulo kithi,
Imfudumalo nentokomalo sikuthola kuwe
Namuhla sokufihla
Sophinde sikubone.

Ubusijabulisa,
Besone besihlulumeze usikhuthaza,
Hamba kahlr thando,
Hamba kahlr mizwa yami,
Namuhla nangunaphakade
Sophinde ngivumele ubuhlungu
