Summary
Wo, ngitshele mntanomlungu!
Ungiletheleni lapha?
Ngingen’ amadol’ angisinde,
Ngicabang’ ikhanda lizule
Ngibona kuhlw’ emini,
Ilanga liphenduk’ inyanga.
Wo, ngitshele mntanomlungu!
Ngizongenaphi kulezi zindonga?
Obabamkhulu bathi sebefa
Angolala phansi kotshani kwaGuqa,
Lapho ngihuqwa yintuthu nomule,
Ngidl’ izinkobe ngithambise ngomlaza.
Wo, ngitshele mntanomlungu!
Ngothi ngiphi bengiphi nginje?
Isikhumba sami siyangiceba,
Ulimi lwami lona luhle
Nom’ abanye bethi luyangehlisa.
Ngibulewe ngalo ngiding’ ukwelashwa.
Wo, ngitshele mntanomlungu!
Ngilahleke nje ngangiyaphi?
Izindonga zezindlu zinde,
Zishona phans’ emhlabathini,
Zikhoth’ amafu phezulu.
AmaMboza kwaNodwengu
Akazange akubone lokhu!
Wo, ngitshele mntanomlungu!
Yini yonke len’ engiyibonayo?
Izinsika zingangobabamkhulu!
Ngithi lapho ngizibheka
Ngizw’ amajuba kwelenyoni
Ekhonyis’ okwawomalunda.
Lapho ngibona konke lokhu,
Namhla ngikholwa ngempela
Ngilahlekile, ngizogana.
Isizwe sikaSobantu
Singibophel’ inkatha yenkangala,
Sithi: “Thwala, usikhonzele njalo.”
