Composers: Ayanda Nxumalo and Dillon April

Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu wadala izulu
nomhlaba;
Umhlaba wawuyihlane elingenalutho;
kwakungubumnyama phezu kotwa;
Kepha uMoya kaNkulunkulu wehla
wenyuka
Wathi makube khona ukukhanya
kwabakhona
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Imvelo iyabubula ifun′umdali wayo
(izulu nomhlaba kudalwe Nguye)
Yen' owayekhona eMandulo usakhona

Nguye)
Sabela langa nenyanga Hlukanani
mhlabathi (izulu nomhlaba kudalwe
Nguye)
Phakama lwandle uvuleke (izulu
nomhlaba kudalwe Nguye)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Akhonto efana (nezwe)
Izulu nomhlaba, kudalwe nguye!
