Nguye-ke uMlunguti wendlovu ivaliwe
Ivalwe ngemaphama etibhamu.
Mkalabhane ongadinwa ngamaveyisi
UMgwami longavutfwa nasetiko
Lowehlule timbita tebelungu nemaSwati
Mtimba longadzabuki yinhlamba yemaSwati.
INjuzalala kaMndindane kaLuvuno.
Nguye Nhlitiyo lebovu njengeyemamba.
Unyatsele iMbabane
Yase iyadvungana.
Lubhalule emant’ abovu.
Ndzindzindzi
Unjengelitulu lemaNhlengu,
Lona litsi lidvuma
Libe lindzindzitela.
Mahlasela ngelilanga,
Emakhosi ahlasela ngemphi.
Mashesh’ ayinike,
Ngoba uyinike kaManzini edolobheni,
Talukati takhasa ngemadvolo.
Nkhosi!
Ndlovukazi!
