Wawu khona emandulo (He has been here from the beginning)

Ngizothandaza we! (My prayer to You)

Imizamo yami (All my works)
Nginikela kuwe (I dedicate to You)
Ukuze ungthathe ungbheke phezulu ()
Wena uzong’ thatha ungbheke phezulu ()
Sebeng’ zame konke ()
Ngaya nabakithi mbala ()
Kodwa ng’thandaza wena – ng’bheka phezulu (But I pray to you — lifting my eyes to the heavens)
