Okuqukethwe izinkondlo mayelana nolimi
Ulimi luyingqayizivele,
Lwanqaba, lwalungile,
Lwelikhwelo elincinci,
Elidungekile likhumbula,
Liyakhula lisebenze.
Ulimi luhloniphe,
Lwemvelo, lunsukumile.
Phela kubi ngozi,
Ngofudumo abantu,
Nophondo elizweni.
Ulimi luhloniphe,
Lwemvelo, lunsukumile.
Nobukhwenxelana,
Lutheka, lunxibiywe,
Lubikwa lusondeza.
Masikhulume nangokwazi,
Nangokuphila kwegama,
Sithi sihlambulule,
Njengoba sikhuluma,
Njengoba silalela.
