Ndithe ndivuk'ekseni
Ndavuswa lucingo kuvele kutata
Wath'umama akaphilanga
Oh kufuneke ndiyeleke khaya
Ndabuza kutheni na
Bathi akasalal'umama, akasatj' umama
Ukhala ngoNomthandazo
Inoma nimenzentoni nah
Ukuthi akasabuy'ekhaya

Nomthandazo
Buyel'ekhaya
Abazali bakulindile wesisi
Kudala wahamba
Nomthandazo
Buyel'ekhaya
Abazali bakulindile wesisi
Kudala wahamba

Oko wahamba wath'uyomodela
Awusavel' nakumabonakude
Insuku sezaguquk'inyanga
Inyanga sezaguquk'iminyaka aiybo kutheni nah
Oko wahamba
Umam'uyabalisa ngegama lkho
Shumi leminyaka
Oko wahamba
Ndithemba wenwabile aph'ukhona

Nomthandazo
Buyel'ekhaya
Abazali bakulindile wesisi
Kudala wahamba
