Ikhaphukhaphu njengentsiba
 ingelosi iyadlula
 ekupheleni kwehlathi .

 Enzulwini yokulinda
 layichanekanga
 ukukhefuzela
 isithuba sikhona .

 Isithinteli siyakhulula
 irhamncwa lalatha umlomo walo .

 Une aurore boréale en acmé .

 Umhlambi wamarhanisi asendle
 phakamisa amafu .

 Umngcipheko uyacinezela
 intliziyo ibetha ezimbanjeni
 imvula enkulu idambisa inzondelelo yethu .

 Isenokuba yimpumelelo leyo
 kwisiphelo sesiphelo seminxeba yethu
 ingoma yokunyaniseka kwethu.
