Nomalanga

Laphuma ilanga
Kwavela ilanga evelalanga,
Wavel' uNomalanga kwaLanga emalangeni
Uvela empumakoli.

Uvela ngase mpumakoloni, usingisel'entshonakoloni
Endleleni udibana nabamhlophe nabamnyama
Ubatshisa ngokulingana
Kodwa kushiyana ukujika  kwebala.

Kaloku uNomalanga akanamkhethe, yiyo lonto engakhethi uyandiva Khethi?
Kaloku mna ndikhethile
Ndikhethe wena Khethi
Uyandiva na bethu?

Uqaqambile mqaqambisi
Mshushubezi wesizwe
Kaloku wena ukhanyisela
Lonke ihlabathi, oh khanya gqiyazana
Sabanomntwana samphi gama Khanyisa
Oh! Lasikhanyisela igqiyazana elinelizwi elicosololo nje.

Langa noNomalanga ndim nawe silamalanga
Malanga njalo nje
Malanga oh! Atshon'amalanga
Atshon'amalanga
Unganditsheli ukuthi uNomalanga uswelekile
Xa kufika ubusuku noNomasuku.
