[Verse 1]
‘Makhelwane angimazi
‘Mashonisa use waboshwa
Izikweleto anginazo
Nak’ ezakho nginak’ ezami
Abangani bayizinja
Bakhonkhotha ub’suku ne mini
Ang’sathembi ngish’ umndeni
Bangak’ dlisa uhleli emini

[Chorus]
Mina seng’ khalelel’ umama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Angizaz’ izitha zami
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama

Mina seng’ khalelel’ umama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Angizaz’ izitha zami
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
Mama, mama, mama
[Refrain]
Abang’ zondayo
