SENGENZENI MAMAZANA?

Waba siziba kangaka sengenzeni Mamazana?

Ngibathe ngiyazazi ngiyazazi akulungi.

Sengingaze ngihleke nepukani edlulako kwenzenjani?

Angitholi ukuthi zihleka nami nofana ziihleka mina!

Hleka nami Mamazana njengemhleni.

Tjela mina ngitjele wena sthandwa sami.

Emathandweni akuhlali kunje;

Emathandweni kuyamoyizelwa;

Emathandweni kubonakala nelemhlathini.

Nangendlala kuyabelethwa emathandweni.

Umoya lo umakhaza awunathando,

Umoya lo mumbi awukathandazelwa.

Umoya lo ngeweKangala asiwazi la.

Umoya lo awufuneki awuphele pheli!

Esingapheliko siyahlola smomoza sami.

Namanga ngingawavumela kunalokhu dadabo.

Nokuthukwa ngiyakubhesela kunalokhu.

Thoma noma kukuphi ngizakulibalela nawuthome kumbi.

Nakubuhlungu abukho obungadlula lokhu.

Nakumzimba uyazithunga ungawubabaleli nakunje.

Ngikuthanda uhleka ngikuthanda uvutha umlilo.

Ongiqala ngalweli akusilo;

Ongiqala ngalweli ngelokutheza.

Lingikhradzisa ngendeni ngibe makhaza nezitho.

Ngikwazi ungiqala ngewobuthongwana swidi lami!

________________

Nangengoma ungangitjela sthandwa sami.

Ngizayivumela ngiyakuthembisa.

Khalela Mamazana ngilalele.

Ubukhrwari abusayelwa nakunje.

Ngitjho neembongo zekosi zikhambe ziyikorhola.

Ungalingi ufele ngaphakathi uzakufa ungakafi.

Khuphela isifuba sakho emtarini ungesabi ngingowakho.

Njenganini usaba mina Mamazana?

Bangangisaba boke ephasini.

Mina nawe savumelana.
