Wangishisa ndoda ngakhala ngaphansi
(You have betrayed me, man, I fell down to the ground)
Ngakuthemba wemfo
(Trusted you, brother)
Wangilhala obala
(But you threw me out into the wasteland)
Wangivala ngomkhonyovu
(You betrayed and tricked me badly)

Kanti siphuma ndawonye
(Even tho' we come from the same village)
Uma ngibuza uthi
(And when I ask you why you did this you say)
Yizinto zalomhlaba
(It's the way of the world)
Yimi loyo
(This is me now)
Wangiwisa phansi
(You made me collapse)
Yimi loyo
(This is me now)
Sengizovuka
(I will rise up)
Ngihlakanipha
(And become wiser)
Ngibemusha
(And be new again)
Phasopha demmet!
(Watch out, damn it)
Sengifikile
(I have arrived)
