Yoh! Lalela, mntanami.
Aweh! Ingoma yokuphila le.
Ngiyazi, impilo ingabuhlungu, izinkinga zihlasela
Imizwa efiphele, akekho okuzwayo, intliziyo iyagqabuka
Amakhanda phansi, akusabanjwa lutho, ithemba liyasuka
Kodwa awuwedwa kuloluhambo, sibambene ngazo zonke izikhathi
Ukuzibulala, hayi akusiyo impendulo, eish!
Shintsha ingqondo yakho, thola ikhambi le nkinga
Umphefumulo awazi lapho uyakhona
Uma uhlukene nenyama, ubuya kanjani? Hayi!
Vula amehlo, bheka ukukhanya okusekhona
Kunamandla ngaphakathi kwakho, ungawatholi kwabanye
Gxila ekuxazululeni, ungakhali, ungahlali phansi
Siphila kanye kuphela, lwelani impilo yenu, sharp sharp!
Ukuzibulala, hayi akusiyo impendulo, eish!
Shintsha ingqondo yakho, thola ikhambi le nkinga
Umphefumulo awazi lapho uyakhona
Uma uhlukene nenyama, ubuya kanjani? Hayi!
Ngesikhathi esinzima, khumbula amazwi lawa
Kunabantu abakuthandayo, abakufisela okuhle
Ungaphonsi ithawula, awuqedile empilweni
Lwelani impilo yenu, yebo!
Ukuzibulala, hayi akusiyo impendulo, eish!
Shintsha ingqondo yakho, thola ikhambi le nkinga
Umphefumulo awazi lapho uyakhona
Uma uhlukene nenyama, ubuya kanjani? Hayi!
Aweh! Qinani, mntanami. Aweh!
Impilo ilapha, phila, phila! Yoh!
