(Ngamaxesha akudala)
Ukuba ubuhlobo obudala bulibalekile
kwaye ungaze ukhumbule?
Ukuba ubuhlobo obudala bulibalekile

Ngemihla yakudala mhlobo wam

Siza kuba neglasi yobubele
kumaxesha akudala.
Sobabini sibaleke sisehla kumathambeka
wathabatha ii-daisy ezintle,
kodwa besiphazama kakhulu ngeenyawo ezibuhlungu
kususela kwimihla yakudala.
Ngeentsuku ezindala, mhlobo wam ...
Siye sawela umlambo sobabini
ukususela emini ukuya kwisidlo sangokuhlwa,
kodwa ulwandle lubanzi phakathi kwethu
kususela kwimihla yakudala.
Ngeentsuku ezindala, mhlobo wam ...
Nasi isandla, mhlobo wam othembekileyo,
kwaye usinike esinye sezandla zakho,
kwaye masisele ibhiya
kumaxesha akudala!
