Azania! Ndili nanu nyimbo
Nyimbo ya njuchi yakudya phwando la utawaleza pamatope amtunduwu
Egoli! Ndili ndi nyimbo yachikondi kwa inu
Nyimbo ya Nomvula, akalonga a mvula
Madikizela! Ndili ndi nyimbo yachikondi kwa inu
Nyimbo ya ndakatulo yosiidwa.
Ndili ndi nyimbo yachikondi ya amabadwe obadwira amene amakhala ku Thembisa
Povo akusuta ganja ku Thokoza
Ndili ndi kalata yachikondi ya ma tambala obwerekera, omwe miyendo yake ikutentha ndi uchabechabe
Zambezi! Ndili ndi nyimbo yachikondi kwa inu
Nyimbo ya mafuta akudya ng'ombe zakunyumba zandalama mpaka abuluwe atuluka
Ndili ndi nyimbo yachikondi kwa inu, Azania
Nyimbo yamabotolo anu akuthawa mu uvuni Xenophobia
