Izinkondlo: Ngiyilunga Lentsha Yase Ningizimu Afrikha
Ngiyilunga lomhlabathi emhlabeni waseNingizimu afrikha.
Ngingubuso obusha kulelizwe laseningizimu,
Ngizalwa okhokho abangasekho abafa bezabalazel' inkululeko yami,
Ngiyinzalo yenkululeko,
Ngifana namanzi amtoti omfula iBlood river wona asegeleza ngokuthula ngaphandle kwegazi,
Noma ngingayibonanga impi yesencome,
Kepha ngisabonga ngiyanconcoza ngenkululeko,
Ngiyilunga lentsha yaseNingizimu Afrikha,
Ngihlala phansi ngiqhoshe esidulini ngizithulele ngibheke uThukela, Luye lugobhoza ngesivinini liyothulula amanzi emlonyeni wolwandle,
Luye liyoxhawulana namagagasi amandla asolwandle,
Ngibheka imimoya ivunguza ize ishaye imizwilili ezintabeni zoKhahlamba drunkensburg,
Nesichotho esibanjwe ubuthongo emagqumeni asentsholanga koloni,
Ngibuka amagagasi ekhahlelana olwandle lwase Indian ocean,
Njengamafu amhlophe athembisa injabulo yesibhakabhaka,
Ngibuke izinyoni zijwibeka ziwela Umgeni River ziye ziyoshona zivula amaphiko entokozo,
Ngigxobe nginyathele ngithokoze ezihlabathini ze Kalahari Desert,
Njengomntwana osathambileyo osahlatshwa umhlabathi,
Ngishawe umoya omnandi opholile we Table mountain,
Ofana ncama shi nowasezihlabathin zase Wetland park,
Ngizizwe ngimusha njenge langa lasekuseni,
Ngiyilunga lentsha yaseningizimu afrikha,
Yebo ngiseyiyo inzalo yesizwe seNkosi uShaka,
Ngiyisizukulwane sabo omama ababeyigxob' e Unions Building ngo 1956,
Kuseyibo abafowethu laba abafela ibantu education,
Odadewethu yibo laba abasishiya nge Soweto uprising,
Ngiyisizukulwane samasosha oMkhonto wesizwe,
Ngiyisizwe ngingubuso obusha baseningizimu afrikha,
Namuhlanje ngikhululekile futhi ngiyaziqhenya ngomzansi,
Inkululeko yami iningi iphahlwe ngentando yeningi,
Ayifani neNdlovu yona ebhongela emswaneni,
Ifana nobukhosi beBhubesi lona inkosi yamakhosi emkhosini wasendle,
Ngiyifisela ubude obude lenkululeko njengendlulamithi yona edla esichongweni sesihlahla uMkhanyakude,
Bathi inkunzi isematholeni, Njengoba sesiyitholile lenkululeko thina njengentsha asiyicije njengophondo luka Bhejane,
Izwe lethu libe lihle njengamabalabala engwe wona aphahlwe ngokusagolide,
Sime ndawonye siqine njengesiphongo senyathi,
Sizinqenye sentshise imiklazo yenkululeko njengamathole asanda kuqala ukudla utshani,
Siyintsha enstha yasengizimu afrikha,
Asibambaneni ngezandla siqinisane njengonoxhaka,
Sixhakane sibonisane sibhekisane,
Asihlanganeni bant' abasha,
Ngiyaziqhenya ngobuntu bami.
