[Verse]
Mina ndithanda lena ezizweni
Mina ngiyoqonywaa lena ezizweni
Ngiyibonile intombi emazweni, yeh
Baybuza inqomile cha yona iqhoshile
Baybuza ngonile ay-yona ivumile
Maying' bona iyamoyzela
Yona vel' iyayi thandela hhay' iyamoyzela
Yona iyayi thandela kodwa inenkani ayifuni ngothando
Yona inenkani wela maye-babo!

[Chorus]
Ay' Mmapula
Ay' Mmapula
Yazi ngiyak' thanda
Khona awuboni ukuthi unenkani
Eh! Mmapula yazi ngiyak' thanda
Ukuthi awuboni futhi unenkani
Mmapula yazi ngiyak' thanda ukuthi awuboni
Futhi unenkani

[Bridge]
Aw' thando lonke (thando lonke)
Thando lonke (aw' thando lwami)
Ai Busta ongketsang? (Yilentombi le)
Thando lwami (uye lo!)
Aw' thando lonke (uye lo!)
