Ngicela uma sehlukana baba umthathe ezohlala nawe
Lona uma sehlukana baba umthathe ezohlala nawe
Ngiyacela uma sehlukana baba umthathe ezohlala nawe

(Sengiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena)
(Sengiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena, ngiyak'thanda)
(Sengiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena)
(Sengiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena, ngiyak'thanda)
(Sengiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena, ngiphilela wena)

Mina angikaze ngithand' umuntu ngalendlela
Ngibon' engathi kuyanda
Mina angikaze ngithand' umuntu ngalendlela
Ngibon' engathi kuyanda
Kukhuluma inhliziyo ith' ifuna yena
Kunqab' abazali bethi ekhaya
Senzenjani ngoba siyathandana
Kukhuluma inhliziyo ith' ifuna yena
Kunqab' abazali bethi ekhaya
Senzenjani ngoba siyathandana

Nom' ukude nami sthandwa sami
Ngicela wazi ukuthi, ye my love, ngiyak'thanda
(Nom' ukude nami sthandwa sami)
Ngicela wazi ukuthi (ye my love, ngiyak'thanda)
Nom' ukude nami sthandwa sami
Ngicela wazi ukuthi, ye my love, ngiyak'thanda
