1. M’lungu, imwe mumbandiwona,

Pa kugona na kumuka kwangu.

Mumbadziwa makumbukidwe yangu,

bzomwe ndimbakhumba,

na bzicito bzangu.

Pomwe ine ndikhakonzedwa,

Imwe M’lungu mukhawona bzense.

Bziwalo bzangu bzense mudanemba

Pa nthawe yomwe

ndikhanati kubadwa.

Mabasa yanu yambandidabwisa,

Ine ndikubvumadi bzimwebzo.

Napo pa nthawe za mabvuto yangu,

Imwepo mun’dzandiwona basi.

Imwe mumbawonadi bzense,

Kulibe komwe ndingabisale,

Ne ku thenje ne m’madzi yakuzika,

Pakuti mbuto zensene

mumbawona.
