1. Thembekani bantu bami,

Mina nginguZimenu.

Lalelani imithetho

EseliZwini lami.

Mina ngizoniluleka,

Mina ngizonelusa.

Ngithembani bantu bami,

Ngizonitlhogomela.

2. Thembekani bantu bami,

Niqinisane noke.

Thandanani, thembanani,

Niphathane ngomusa.

Nihloniphaneni noke,

Nitjhidelane noke.

Sizanani, bumbanani

Nihlale ninobunye.

3. Thembekani bantu bami,

Nithobelane noke.

Lalelani abadala,

Nibambisane nabo.

Mina ngizonibusisa,

Ngizonipha amandla.

Thembekani bantu bami,

Ngizonipha umvuzo.
