Walila
Walila
Ndithe ndilala batwana bekhala
I hear children crying, honey
Wasuka walila watso kalusizi
They have cried enough to be sad
Ndithe ndilala batwana bekhala
I hear children crying, honey
Wasuka walila watso kalusizi
They have cried enough to be sad
Walila, walila umtwana
Weeping, weeping, child
Thula,thula mah
Shush, shush, my love
Walila, walila umtwana
Weeping, weeping, child
Thula,thula mah

Ngamcenga lomtwana, ngathuthuzela
I beg this child, I want to comfort him
Kodwa hhayi lomtwana
But no, this child
Washo kal'sizi
