Songtexte Vela Nsizwa - Ladysmith Black Mambazo

We Ntombi unecala awuzinikanga izinsizwa ithuba lokweshela.

Igome kanjani intombi singayitshelanga ukuthi ntombi
Qoma ngoba thina sesidelile ukweshela.

Ilikhiphe kanjani Iqabane Intombi singayitshelanga ukuthi
Mfake sesidelile ukweshela.

Kumnandi bol ukushela itshitshi wemadoda
Kubuhlungu ukushela intombi ivuka esokeni

Vela nsizwa ezoqonywa yilentombi,vela sikuxhawule
Dede sishele sadela vela nsizwa ezoqonywa yilentombi
Bayaphoxeka abaphathi bezintombi uma ziphunyuka
Esandleni sabo
Bakhuzumhlolo mantombazane nifunani emva kwendlu bazonibamb' abafana.

Wo musan' wemantombazane ukudlala ngegeja kuziliwe
Mantombazane nifunan' emva kwendlu bazonibamb' abafana
Slyabababona labonsuku zimbili isimqomile
Unsuku zintathu isimalile

Unsuku zimbilP isimqomile
Unsuku zintath' isimalile

Vela nawe ntombazane vela sbchawule bo
Ngoba sesishele sadela
