Anachoka ku dziko limene anabadwira
 pa nthambi ya azitona
 pakati pa mabango a mtsinje
 ndi maso a nkhanga
 adamuyang'ana uku akutenga mphamvu.
  
 Usapite kukamuuza mnyamata wa kumtunda
 kuti chiyembekezo chogonjetsa chinatha
 ndi amene anadzabwera ndi mphepo yoipa
 mzimu wake waubwana wa zochitika ndi zoyambitsa
 adzapita ku maphompho owawa.
  
 Ndinamuyerekeza atavala lace yoyera
 amene akanabwera kudzanditenga
 amene angazunze maso anga
 popanda chifukwa
 kugona pa mwala woyaka.
  
 kuwala ndi kukongola
 kukhamukira kwa mtima kosaletseka
 kuletsa chinyengo chilichonse chodula
 m'kulira modzichepetsa ndi mwanzeru
 tazikwaniritsa tokha.
  
 Iye ndi wobadwa mwatsopano
 kuposa ngolo yobwerera kugwero
 mwa masiku ochepa omwe tatsala nawo
 kotero kuti ndi mapiko athu atsopano
 kuwotcha maso athu pamaso pa diresi lodzitukumula.
