Izithakazelo zakwa-Shandu
Mbatha,
Shandu kaNdaba,
Sontshikaze, Manyosi,
Gumbi lamagwala,
UShandu akangakanani,nasentendeni yesandla engahlala,
Nasothini lomkhonto uyenela,
Mthiya ngenkomo abafokazana bethiya ngamahlahla,
Shandu owalima insimu wayilimela izinyoni,
Zase zimbonga zathi tshiyo! tshiyo!
Bhabha Magwaza,
Nkentenkente,
Olwakhela izintaba zase Nhlazatshe,
Kwaze kwaphuma abafazi bengabhincile,
Bathi ingabe lolu nkentenkente lwenzani,
Ndaba koMkhulu,
Ndabezitha!
