Ulawulo LWERIMOTHI

Xa sibulala ngolawulo olukude
Ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka sothule umthwalo
Kumhlaba ongaphaya komngxuma
Iibhombu zenza xa zidubula.

Igazi elininzi kunye ne-gore egqithisileyo
Kwaye uthabathe intlawulo yengqondo:
Icandelo le-esprit de Corps,
Ababulali ngolawulo olukude

Umatshini wokumangala omangalisayo,
Yiva nje xa udumzela ubetha umlozi.
Kuqala kuviwe, emva koko kubonwe,
Kwaye emva koko umlilo umjukujelwa.

Iyajikeleza kwaye indanda phezulu
Kwisibhakabhaka esiluhlaza okanye ngepinki
Indawo egubungela ngayo, ngoba,
Kubanzi kunokuba ucinga.

Abantu abasemhlabeni apha ngezantsi
Awunakho ukubeka emngciphekweni ukuhamba kusasa,
Xa sibakhohlakele sibazise
Uloyiko olukhulu ngolawulo olukude.

Hayi iintliziyo ezinzima kodwa iiflegi ezingavulwanga
Apha ubulise ukujikeleza okubuhlungu.
Aboyikekayo, iintloko zabo ziingubo ezirhabaxa,
Ukufa emngciphekweni ngokulawula kude.

Abukho ubomi obulahlekileyo xa imijukujelwa iyaqhuma,
Akukho bomi bubaluleke kakhulu,
Xa ama-airmen abulala kwigumbi elihle,
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwi-splash kunye ne-splatter.

Sukujonga ubukroti kuyo yonke le nto
Ayisiyo indima ye-GI.
Kodwa mnike imbeko ngokumanga,
Ukuba ubulala ngolawulo olukude.
