Namanje ngiyacela mamelani
Vulani izindlebe lalelani
Ngiyanibingelela sanibonani
Musani ukungiziba sanibonani

Yinde lenyathuko phumulani
Hlalani ninethezeke nixoxe nami
Zinyanya zakwaZulu zihleli nani
Kuthi ningobani khumbulani

Bayede nkonyane kandaba
Simaviyo viyo thina masihlangana
Bayede ngiyakusaba weNgonyama
Naba abantu bakho beqedana

Yehlisa iThongo lokubumbana
Yehlisa iThongo lokuthanda
Sihlangane njengebutho likabhambatha
iNzondo ekade ikhona siyayigandaya

Thokoza Thokoza thongo lami
Thokoza Thokoza thongo lami
Ikusasa lifiphele ngempela
Awu nakhu ngibona ubumnyama

Nqo nqoza Nqo nqoza Ksasa lami
Nqo nqoza Nqo nqoza Ksasa lami
Ngibon'isizukulwane esidukileyo
Ngibonisizukulwane esidukileyo

Thokoza, thokoza thongo lami ze-ikusasa ngizolibona
Ngithemba lokuthi ingomso lami lona lizohloba
Njenge nsimu yase edeni kungekho noyedwa ozoyona

Ndlondlo enophaphe ekhanda Thokoza
Dlozi lamanzi mndawo Thokoza
Gwala gwala nyoni yasebukhosi ngikhuleka kuwe ngempela ngithi thokoza
Ngikhuleka kubalozi ngethemba lokuthi ikusasa lami nalo lizothokoza

Sikhuleke ekujuleni kwamanzi lekuhlala khona izinkanyamba nakhona siyanqonqoza
Inkamba ngezisu, nkamba ngezisu thongo lami impela Siya Thokoza
Ngangezwe lakhe nkosi yamaZulu bhejane phuma eSqiwini siyathokoza

Makhosi akwaNguni wonke, sikhuluka kini ngothando lonke
Ngoba ngaphandle kwenu izwe liyobulawa ngisho noZamcolo

Thokoza thongo lami
Thokoza
Thokooooza thongo lami

Thokoza, thokoza thongo lami ze-ikusasa ngizolibona
Ngithemba lokuthi ingomso lami lona lizohloba
Njenge nsimu yase edeni kungekho noyedwa ozoyona
