Thwel’ umkhonto siye khona
Marikana iyasibiza babo
Ungesabi sabel’ uyabizwa babo
Marikana wahlaz’ isizwe babo
Mhlaba womile
Mhlab’ unxaniwe
Kati ilele eziko
Wen’ ungummeli ekhaya
Thath’ izikhali
Wen’ uphakeme he
Wen’ uphakeme
Wen’ unamandla
Zondimela

Hamba kahle

Thole lesizwe
(Uzosabela)
Sabela

Sohlala sonke

Ngeny’ imini
Bazophendula
Xa ubizwa sabela
Hamba kahle
Ngeny’ imini
Bazophendula
Jiya jiya, jiy’ indaba
Sebath’ umhlaba womil’ unxaniwe babo
Awoneli na
Sekwanele lomhlab’ uhlal’ unxaniwe
Zusibuzele, awuboni na
Konakele
Hamba kahle
Sekwanele lomhlab’ uhlal’ unxaniwe
Zusibuzele, awuboni na
Konakele
Hamba kahle
Jiya le ndaba
Isithebe esidlel’ iizizwe
Yinto yokuhombisa njena
Siyabukw’ ekhaya
Sisalal’ emaweni
Soya ngaphi na
Sisalal’ emaweni baba
Ngaba soya ngaphi na
Jiya jiya
Jikel’ emaweni ndiyahamba
Ziyabuy’ ekhaya
Ndiyahamba ndibuyel’ ekhaya
Ngolonwabu de sibonane
Jiya, jiya, indaba
Jiya, jiya, jiya
Jiya, jiy’ indaba
