Mayibuye lyrics

Kudala sinyamezele

Thina ba-ntu abantsundu

BaseMza-Ntsini Afrika

Imithe-tho yabelungu

Vukani mawethu

Lifikil'ixesha

Lenkululeko yethu

Nelizwe ngelethu

Khumbulan'uMshosha noDingane

UMzilikazi noNgqika

Balilwela lelizwe

Vukani ma-Afrika

Khumbulani amazwi kaShaka

Esitsho ngalamini ebhubha

Esithi sukumthemb'umlungu

Kub'uzobus'izwe lakooBawo

Manyani mawethu ndiyanicenga

Ndithi masilwele lelizwe lelethu

Kudala siphethwe ngamabhulu

Sihlupheka phantsi kwamabhulu

Lifikil'ixesha ngoku lenkululeko

IAfrika yonke imi ngenyawo

Ilwel'inkululeko yethu

MZulu, MShangaani, Mxhosa, MSotho, MVenda dibanani

Manyanani ngoku alisekho ixesha lokulila

Mayibuye ngok'iAfrika

Thathan'i-ndlela zooBawo

Silwel'i-zwe lakowethu

Elatha-thwa ngabamhlophe

Sesifun-inkululeko

Vukani mawethu

Lifikil'ixesha

Lenkululeko yethu

Lumkani mawethu

Vuka Mandela noSisulu

Sobukwe nawe Luthuli

Tambo, Munakwe noResha

Khumbulani amazwi kaNgqika

Mhla wayethetha nabelungu

Esithi sukumthemb'umlungu
