Summary

Ngiyathand’ ukuzizwela

Ukunyenyeza komoya

Phezu kwendwang’ enoboya,

Buwa ngala, buziwela.

Ngiyafisa ukubona

Leyo ndod’ ephefumula

Kunyakaz’ ihlathi lona

Limahlamvu khazimula.

Ngiyalangazel’ ithuba

Lapho ngiyokukubamba,

Ngifisa ukukuphamba,

Ngiqonde ukukukhuba.

Ngibe ngisangen’ endlini,

Ngikuzw’ uthint’ ezintini

Nangaphandle etshanini.

Woza moya laph’ ukhona,

Angiyaz’ indawo yakho

Ngifisa ukwakha kwakho,

Ngibe sengiyakubona.

Woz’ ilanga liphumile

Kumnandi phezu kweganga

Laph’ amandl’ akh’ egxilile

Njengemizi yamaNganga.

Woza sizothele wena

Ngokuzwa izinxanelo

Ezivel’ ekhaya lelo

Eliqeda ukwenqena!

Ngizw’ izinkulumo zakho

Zingiph’ ubuthongo bakho

Nenjabul’ okungeyakho.

Laph’ umphefumulo wami

Uphelelwa abangane,

Ihlamuka njengekhwane

Nemihlobo yonke yami.

Ngibe ngisaphume phandle

Wen’ unamathele kimi,

Nodlebe lwami lukhandle

Imisindo engacimi.

Iliwozawoza njalo

Yehla ngazo zonk’ izinkalo

Sengathi kayinasiqalo.

Uw’ esizwa ngaw’ iconsi,

Sinuk’ iphunga lamakhabe

Ephakathi kwezigabe –

Lamazele nelebhonsi.

We moya! Leth’ ukukhanya

Kwenhliziyo yam’ enhlanye

Ngife kanye nawe kanye.
