Umfowethu

Njoba nimbona nje umfowethu wayengenje
Njoba soluneyinsimbi lolunyawo lwalengenje
Njoba sebethi uyahlanya umfowethu wayengenje
Izenzo zabantu engazi ukuthi wayebenzeni
Njoba nimbona nje umfowethu wayengenje
Njoba soluneyinsimbi lolunyawo lwalengenje
Njoba sebethi uyahlanya umfowethu wayengenje

Lokwa nhlobo, la icomfort uyasiwondla
Wayek' iskole еthi uyofuna itogi
Nangenhlanhla walithola le eCongo
Awuyеnzi icofee ngizokutshela sonke istory
Eyithombeni bewubon' ukuthi umsebenzi muhle
Nas' emzimbeni ubumbona ukuthi ukhuluphele
Kwase kusobala ukuthi ne 'nvelope ikhuluphele
Wayethi masiding' usizo sisho sikhululeke
Sonke sihappy zonke izinto zihamba kahle
Impilo inswempu hlezi ngiphethe eyikhala kahle
School fees paid esikoleni ngiphasa kahle
Phakathi komhlane nembeleko kwengane
Bathe basuka espanini bampromota
Laba abafika kuqala espanini bakhononda
Kwathiwa usithola njani lesikhundla efika lokhu
Bamshaya ngetrap waphuka unyawo baphika bonke

Njoba nimbona nje umfowethu wayengenje
Njoba soluneyinsimbi lolunyawo lwalengenje
Njoba sebethi uyahlanya umfowethu wayengenje

After isibhedlela kwakumele abuye ekhaya
Kwathiwa ngeke lusaphinde lusebenze lolunyawo
Sasibona sonke ukuthi liyamushonela ilanga
Kodwa kwakubalulekile ukuthi simuxhase
Watholi iimali zamhlala phansi
Wavela wadiliza umuzi wawuqala phansi
Abantu banyanya bathi bamubeka phansi
Bahluleka bakheth' ukumshiya ahlanya
Manje umfowethu sehamba entanta
Sometimes liyaphela iviki engabuyanga
Sizame konke nezinyanga
Baba sicela umbonakalisi wezimanga

Njoba nimbona nje umfowethu wayengenje
Njoba soluneyinsimbi lolunyawo lwalengenje
Njoba sebethi uyahlanya umfowethu wayengenje
