Thingo-Kwezi

Eya eya eya eya eya eya

Thingo mntanami, mus' ukukhala

(UMama uzobuya)

We Khwezi ndodana yami
Tshel' udadewenu
(UMam' uyosebenzela nina)
Bantabami ngiyazi kunzima
Zingane zami bekezelani
Akulahlwa mbeleko ngak'felwa (felwa)
Sekuseduze la siyakhona

Esibelethweni sami
Noma kungahlwa ngizobuya (Noma kungahlwa ngizobuya)
