ngingewengubo
Ukuba ngewengubo sekwaba yingozi
Asisarareki sifa sazi
Awusakwazi ukuba ngewengubo
ubuye uphefumule ngeskhathi sinye
Khetha kunye
Ngingewengubo
Aw’sakwazi ukuba ngewengubo
ubuye uveze nelemhlathini ngeskhathi sinye
Khetha kunye
Iinhliziyo zenu, sezaba makhaza mpo!
Kanti umsebenzi wembaji khuyini?
Unembeza uyanitlhayelela
Imikhuba niyayingezelela
Nakungithi, niyasigandelela
Iinker’de ziyaphela
Iimbaji zilahlekelwa mzila,
Niyasikatelela
Nakumseme niyazithathela
Mihla namalanga iinyembezi ziyazehlela
USomnini, akasale asabuya
Akhulume nebembaji balise ukunukwela ziingazi
Njalo nababona ‘bafazi

Somandla!
Asinamandla
Amasokana ayasiqeda
Nguwe wedwa tere!
Ongayiqeda
Sengisaba nokuthi ngiyasaba
Mhlamunye bathikamezwa liphimbo lami
Kodwana njengewengubo angikghoni ukuthula
Mhlamunye nangingakhuluma
bengubo bangaphila ngokuthula
Ngingewengubo
Ngiyindlovukazi
Ngiletha indlovu ephasini
Ngiyikosi-kazi
Imbokodo!!!
