Lyrics For Usemncane by Siphokazi
Wezinsizwa, wezinsizwa x2
Anibon’ ngilinda, anibon’ ngilinda
Ngoba ngisesemncane uyee
[repeat]
[chorus]
Ningamngxameli, mpheni’ ithuba
(Musan’ ukutheth’ amatyala)(Hayi musan’ ukungxama)
Useyimveku wemabhungu
Ningath’ ulahlile, ngumntwana
(Akafun’ ukuxhamazela) (Hayi musan’ ukumxhesha)
Imveku, uselitjitji
Akafun’ uk’bhatyaza, ngob’ usesemncane
Mphen’ iskhathi wezinsizwa
Akafun’ ulahleka (zunced’ ungamdukisi)
Useyingane, mphen’ ixesha wezinsizwa
Aniyibon’ inzwakazi. Aniyibon’ inkosazana
Isakhula yiyekeni. Usafunda, usakhula
Yimbelukazi yiyekeni weyeye
Yiyeken’ ikhule lentombi
Sifun’ ukbon’ umzekelo
Kukhon’ ubhubhane kule mihla
Nale abuse siyijongile
.
[chorus till end]
