Kude kwangoku ndinkantsaza
Kude kwalapha ndisanyamezele
Ndinyamenzel’ ubunzima bemfundo
Yonke leminyaka

Iminyaka yembandezelo
Iminyaka yobunzima,
ubunzima bokunyanyezelwa
Yonke leminyaka

Ndizifundile iincwadi
Iincwadi zamaqhaw’ elilizwe
Amaqhaw’ angazang’ anikezele
Yonke leminyaka

Khaniphengulul’ iincwadi
niyalul’ amaphepha,
iincwadi zamaqhaw’ akowethu
Yonke leminyaka

Bambelelani lutsha lwakowethu
Nibambelele kude kutshone neenzipho
Ninyamezele nay’ iyakuninyamezela
Yonke leminyaka

Imbila yaswel’ umsila ngokuyalezela
Qinani ke; nifike nakwenomsila
Kungenjalo soqhaw’ka sikhwaphulwe
Yonke leminyaka.
