'Kwakukhona eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule ngalo Khisimusi
Izulu lalibonakala linikeza amasosha ukuhamba
Ngisho nokubeka izibhamu zabo eceleni, futhi ebunganeni kholwani.
Izimoto zikaKhisimusi zakhala zadlula kuloya mhlaba ogcwele
Belambile futhi bekhathele, izinhlangothi zombili zaziphupha ekhaya nokuzwa
Esukuma emseleni wakhe, insizwa yaseJalimane yangena kulelo Land's Land
Ezandleni zakhe kwakukhanya isihlahla sikaKhisimusi, iculo lakhe lalingelobusuku buthule.
Noma kunjalo, azikho isibhamu esivela eNtshonalanga. Kwenziwa iculo, umuthi otshalwe esiqwini esenziwe ngegobolondo.
Ngemuva kwalokho, kusuka ezinhlangothini zombili, izikhulu zahamba zaya esihlahleni futhi zakhuluma, kwenziwa isinqumo.
Amadoda avela ezinhlangothini zombili anqume ukuthi, noma ngabe maduze kumele abulale futhi, uKhisimusi kufanele ube yisikhathi sokuthula.
Phambili kwakumiswe isicucu, njengoba amadoda ayehlangana, izingoma zabelana, izabelo notshwala, izithombe zemindeni nabangane.
I-Soccer kwaba ukuphela kwempi ngalobo busuku, ama-Allies aqhathanisa namaJalimane, futhi akekho owaziyo ukuthi ngubani “onqobile.”
Ubusuku bugcwele uthando nobuzalwane, ukudla namaschnapps, i-brandy, i-rum nengoma.
Ngokubona ukuthi balwa “bona uqobo,” okubi kakhulu abaziphindisanga izibhamu zabo.
Ngaphezulu nangaphezulu ngaphambili bekungasakazeka, amabutho aphonsa phansi izibhamu zawo, aqonde ekhaya.
Ukumemeza ojenene, uma babeyifuna ngempela impi, ukuyilwela bodwa.
Ukuqeda iminyaka emine yokwesabeka, ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale.
Impendulo eyodwa
Nazi izinyembezi zami.
