This poem is a dialogue between an elderly woman and a young woman by the name ‘Nomathemba’, who was found crying. When asked what was wrong she pointed at a man. When she was asked to call the man she said she was scared to call him.
In the full version,
We Nomathemba
Ushaywe ngubani ?
Yiyo lendo...

[Verse 1: Sir Trill]
Usabani usema suburb'sini
Uyazi ungangifonela nomaknini
Ekseni, ebusuku, emini
Ngingakwenzela nomayini
Bathi yena ngiyamthanda uthandiwe yimi
Bathi yena ngiyamthanda uthandiwe yimi
Yazini? (Yazini)
Ubuhle bakhe intway'zin (Intway'zin)
Wenza ijamani liyeke inkantini (Inkantini)
Wenza umam'khulu akhohlwe iskaftini (Iskaftini)
Thina shlukan'okwepantsula nestars (Istars)
Bathi yena ngiyamthanda uthandiwe yimi
Bathi yena ngiyam- (Nimtjela abongfonela)
