Elula njengophaphe
 kudlula ingelosi
 emaphethelweni ehlathi .

 Ekujuleni kokulinda
 layinembile
 ukuhefuzela
 igebe likhona .

 I-halter iyaqaqa
 isilo sikhomba umlomo waso .

 Une aurore boréale en acmé .

 Umhlambi wamahansi asendle
 phakamisa amafu .

 Ingozi iyacindezela
 inhliziyo ishaya ezimbanjeni
 imvula enkulu idambisa intshiseko yethu .

 Kungenzeka lokho kuyaphumelela
 emgudwini wokugcina wezingcingo zethu
 ingoma yobuqotho bethu obungenaphutha.
