Iyhoo, ndiyindindi

Tshooo, yingxubakaxaka

Kanti yintoni igwala?

Kanti anje amagwala?

Nqandan’amagwala.

 

 

Ubugwala sisifo esibi

Lento umntu ngathi akazi

Lento umntu ngathi akafuni

Lento umntu ngathi akanakho

Kanti uyaxoka

 

 

Ubugwala ngumbulalazwe

Lakhula inani lobulawa

Lenyuka nelodlwengulo

Kwanda norhwaphilizo ezweni

Zaphinda phinda izijwili esizweni

 

 

Aphi amadoda okwenyani?

Baphi abafazi boqobo?

Siqhayise ngonyana bethu?

Sizidle ngentombi zethu?

Hayini magwala

 

 

Kodwa magwala niyakhohlisa

Niyatyhafisa nangoku

Niyasihlazisa isizwe

Kutheni ningadani nje?

Zifuneni, guqukani nizohlwaye

 

 

Anifuni kwenza

Kodwa niyonzakalisa

Anithethi

Kodwa bayaphela abantu

Magwala ndini mxim.
