[Chorus: Boohle]
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyahleka, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyadakwa, siyadakwa, iy'nhliziyo zib'hlungu
[Verse 1: Sizwe Alakine]
Ungasboni sphuza ngama-suit, nhliziyo zib'hlungu

Noma ngabe s’jabulile ebsuku, emini bey'khuphuka
Sphole ngama aftertears
Bonke lotshwala obe aftertears
Sonke lesdwadlo ese aftertears
Yonke le sound eye aftertears
Eish! S’jaiva ngama aftertears
[Chorus: Boohle]
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyahleka, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyadakwa, siyadakwa, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
[Bridge: Boohle]
Iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
[Verse 2: Sizwe Alakine]

[Chorus: Boohle]
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona s’jabulile, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyahleka, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
Usibona siyadakwa, siyadakwa, iy'nhliziyo zib’hlungu
