[Chorus]
Uthando lwangempela, luvus’umuntu ebsuku
Uz’thol’usucabanga, ngezinto zak'dala
Uthando lwangempela, likhiph’umunt’ emnyameni
Luk’bek’ ek’khanyen, solusuhlek’ uwedwa ungabhemile
Thando lwangempela, umlil’ongacisheki
Bekuth’ anihlukane, niphinde nibuyelane
Thando lwangempela, kunzima ukulithola
Uma usulutholile, kuman’uliqinise

[Post-Chorus]
Angeke ngikwaz’ukuphila ngaphandle kothando
Lijabulisa libuyise inhliziyo
Nomankanjani siya liboph’ifindo
Angeke ngikwaz’ukuphila ngaphandle kothando
Lijabulisa libuyise inhliziyo
Nomankanjani siya liboph’ifindo

[Refrain]
Hela hela hela buyebuye
Hela, hela buyebuye
Hela, hela buyebuye
Uthando (Uthando)
Uthando (Uthando)

[Verse]
Uthando lwangempela ngiluthole kuwe sweetheart
Yimi nawe love asizu’kphazanyisha
Uthando lweqiniso nglazi ngawe
Mawngeke ung’khihl’ esikaNandi maye
Uthando lwangempela ngiluthole kuwe sweetheart
Yimi nawe love asizu’kphazanyisha
Uthando lweqiniso nglazi ngawe
Mawngeke ung’khihl’esikaNandi maye
