Summary
Ngimbeleni ngaphansi kotshani
Duze nezihlahla zomnyezane,
Lapho amagatsh’ eyongembesa
Ngamaqabung’ agcwel’ ubuhlaza.
Ngozwa nami ngilele ngaphansi
Utshani ngaphezulu buhleba:
“Lala sithandwa, lal’ uphumule.”
Ngimbeleni phezu kwamadamu
Laph’ amanz’ ethul’ enganyakazi,
Nalaph’ izinyon’ ezincanyana
Zihlabelela zisho ngephimbo
Zenanel’ ukwethwasa kwehlobo,
Zehle ziphuz’ amanz’ apholile
Laph’ ilanga lingenakushisa.
Ngiyeke ngifel’ ezindleleni
Zabantwan’ abafund’ isikole
Njengob’ amahlomb’ esehluleka
Yimithwal’ ebengisindwa yiyo.
Iyona misindo yabantwana
Eduduza imiphefumulo
Elel’ ukulal’ okuphakade.
Ngimbeleni endawen’ enjena:
Laph’ izinsungulo zezilimi
Zenkathazo zingenakuthola
Sango lokwahlukanis’ umhlaba,
Zingivus’ ebuthongweni obuhle.
Uma wen’ ofunda le migqana
Ungifïca, ungimbele lapho
Utshani ngaphezulu buyothi:
“Lala sithandwa, lal’ uphumule.”
