Ndimamele, thetha mama
Ndikumamele, thetha mama

Thetha, thetha mama

Ndikumamele, thetha mama
Ndicel’usondele kum

[Verse 1]
Lamadoda awavum’
Ukutyhil’ iintliziyo
Amakhwenkw’ ayakhala
Ootata kudala bahamba
Andifuni ukuwa
Kwelo liwa laphakade

[Chorus]
Thetha, thetha tata
Thetha, thetha, thetha nam
Ndicel’usondele’, thetha tata
Ndikumamele, iza kum!

Thetha, thetha s’thandwa
Thetha, thetha nam'
Ndikumamele, thetha s’thandwa
Ndicel’usondele’, iza kum
[Verse 2]
Abafaz’
Abavum’
Ukutyhil’ iintliziyo
Amantomb’ ayakhala
Oomama kudala bahamba
Andifuni ukuwa
Kwelo liwa laphakade
Kwelo liwa laphakade
Kwelo liwa laphakade
