1 Ingoma yezingoma kaSolomoni.
2 Kangange ngezangiwo zomlomo wakhe
3 Limnandi iphunga lamagcobo akho;
4 Ngithatha uhambe lami, kasiphangise!
5 Ngimnyama kodwa ngiyabukeka,
6 Linganginyonkolozi ngoba ngimnyama,
7 Akungitshele, wena engikuthandayo,
8 Nxa ungazi, wena omuhle okudlula bonke abesifazane,
9 Sithandwa sami, ngikufanisa lebhiza elisikazi
10 Izihlathi zakho zinhle ngokuceciswa,
11 Sizakwenzela amacici egolide,
12 Khonapho inkosi isetafuleni
13 Kimi isithandwa sami sinjengemfuko yemure
14 Kimi isithandwa sami sinjengelixha lempoko zehena
15 Bakithi, umuhle njani sithandwa sami!
16 Umuhle ngempela, sithandwa sami!
17 Izinsika zendlu yethu ngezomsedari
