Thongo Lami

Namanje ngiyan'cela mamelani

Vulani izindlebe lalelani

Ngiyan'bingelela san'bonani

Musani ukung'ziba, san'bonani

Yinde lenyathuko, Phumulani

Hlalani n'nethezeke nixoxe nami

'Nyanya zakwa Zulu zihleli nani

Kuthi ningobani khumbulani

Bayede Nkonyane KaNdaba

Simaviyo-viyo thina mas'hlangana

Bayede ngiyak'saba we Ngonyama

Nab' abantu bakho beqedana

Yehlis' iThongo lokubumbana

Yehlis' iThongo lokuthanda

Sihlangane njengebutho likaBhambatha

INzond' ekade ikhona siyayigandaya

Thokoza Thokoza Thongo lami

Thokoza Thokoza Thongo lami

Ikusasa lifiphele ngempela

Awu nakhu ngibona ubumnyama

Nqonqoza nqonqoza K'sasa lami

Nqonqoza nqonqoza K'sasa lami

Ngibon' isizukulwane esidukileyo

Ngibon' isizukulwane esidukileyo

Gwala-gwala nyoni yasebukhosini

Ng'khuleka kuwe ngempela ngithi Thokoza

Ng'khuleka kuBalozi

Ngethemba lokuthi ikusasa lami nalo lizothokoza

S'khuleke ekujuleni kwamanzi lekuhlala khona inkanyamba

Nakhona siyanqonqoza

INkamba ngezisu, Nkamba ngezisu Thongo lam impela
