Yho umAfrika undilahlile

Haz' ukuba ndeenzani na?
Sono sam yintoni na?
Ubugqi obungaka kweli lizwe
Inkohlakalo engaka kulo mhlaba
Owu mawethu, igqwirha elandithakathaka sela sweleka, ndiyacinga
Kodwa ubugqirhwa balo bundihleli okwe meva emxhadini
Ndijikwele nangulo bendisilwa naye ubuhlanga
Ndilityelwe nangulo bendimncedisa ukulwa ukubalulwa ngesini
Ndindedwa ndililolo, inkomo edla yodwa
Baphi na ababengamahlwempu ndawonye nam?
Sisokola sithuthuzelana sikhuthazana sonke elokishini?

Yho umAfrika undilahlile, ndingumAfrika mna kuqala, mandikhe ndizibuze?
Ngoba ndoniwa nanguye umAfrika
Undijulele lee kwingcuka ukuba zindiqwenge
Namhlanje ubumna asibubo ubuAfrika
Kunamhlanje inkululeko ifikile, ooTseko Simon Nkoli balityelwe
Singooswelindawo, oNoluvo mntwan' omntu, phumla ngoxolo sisi
Awuwedwa nabanye sebephambili
Esaba xuthwa ngamarhancwa ebesiba ngabantakwethu

Lumkani maAfrika, yakheleni umkhanyo le nto
Hleze nilahle imbo ngophoyiyana
Niyilibale indebe endala
Yokuba umntu ngumntu ngabantu
Nenzele undwendwe, owasemzini, umyurophu ikhaya eAfrika, ngeliphandle ubuntu
Abanye abantu babeyimindlwambe eniyitshutshisayo niyincika
Bayaphela oodadebethu nabantakwethu apha phandle
Siyaphela isizwe samaAfrika nijongile
Zemk' iinkomo zobawo magwala ndini
Ndiyekeni mathenjwa ndini ndizityande igila
Imbongi ayinatyala ibhodla ekuphakiweyo
