1. Ukuthandana sik’funda kuZimu.

Kuyakha, kumnandi.

Ukuthandana kuqakathekile

Epilweni nebandleni.

USokulunga wasithanda qangi

Ngokuthumela iNdodana qangi.

Wasifundisa bona sithandane!

Lelithando ngelamambala.

2. Ukuthandana kuvala izono

Zabanye nezethu.

Asithandane silibalelane,

Kikho koke, kikho koke.

Nasithandana sizokusizana,

Nasithandana sizokutjhejana.

Singazenzisi, sitlhogomelane.

Lelithando ngelamambala.

3. Ukuthandana kuyasithabisa

Omunye nomunye.

Ukuthandana kusenza sizwane

Sibe munye, sibe munye.

Yizani noke nithole ithando,

Nizibonele ubuhle bethando.

Ithando lethu angekhe liphele.

Lelithando ngelamambala.
