Lyrics:
Namhla sikhumbula ingwevu
Iimbula-mibethe
Izidwangube zeBandla
Amadela-kufa
Chorus:
Sibonana ngomoya
Phesheya komlambo
Basilinde ngovuyo
Kwelo zwe lihle
NguPamban'umfo kaMzimba
Owez' umtyangampo
Walandelwa ngamadoda
Nabakhonzazana
Kwakumnyama ngezo mini
Kungekho kuqonda
Sasihlel' ebudengeni
Imihla ngemihla
Loo makroti amemeza
Ngezw' alinomlilo
Kwev' okude nakufuphi
Kweza izihlwele
Sikhumbula loo madoda
Kwanezo ntokazi
Awasikhanyiselayo
Eza nenkululo
Loo magora akowethu
Asekuphumleni
Ziindlamafa zikaThixo
eParadesini
Sohle nathi sibenayo
Phesheya komlambo
Sinyuke njengoEliya
Sising' enywebeni. ....Xhosa 178
This song was sang at my late great grandmothers funeral in 2006, and up to today, I've never forgot it.
