Kungani enikezwa ibail ngoba ubulele
Kungani kuthiwa ungumsolwa ebe ebulele,
Uyachanasa ngaphandle umfowethu yena ulele
Kanti kungani engagqunywa ejele

Sibonga yona le eyodwa owayizala
Noma singazi ukuthi zingaki osazibulala,
Phela imithombo ethembekile iyasho
Ukuthi ziningi esezalala kobandayo lo umhlaba.

Ngiyindoda madoda
Nami ngiyindoda emadodeni
Bathi indoda ayikhali,
Kant ubani owathi umuntu omubi
...

Mama ngiyazi umoya
Wakho ngiwephulile
Umthetho neziyalo ngikwedlulile
Kodwa manje sengikhulile
...

Nansi inkondlo emnandi thula
Makhukhona okukusindayo ngizokwethula
Impela ngiyazi ngeke kube lula
Ngakho ngiyakucela ulalele
...

Senginegama Elisha
Okudala kudlulile bheka kuvela okusha
Izolo bengiyisthandwa namhlanje ngiwuma womtwana
Mangihamba babeth owaphi lomtwana

Ngithanda intombi yomngani
Njalo mangibona ngyazisola ukuth angishelanga ngani
Ngidliwa umzwangedwa angazi ngzotshela bani
Okwebutho likaZulu angizufela ngaphakathi
...

Ngyamemeza ma-Afrika ngizweni
Ngimemeza ngisekhaya angikho nasembizweni
Ngifuna ukunitshela lokhu okusemizweni
Sikhohlwa ukwenza okwethi, siye kokwasemazweni
