[INTRO]
(Humming)
Oooooh...
Mama...
Oooooh...
Ntombi yam...
Oooooh...
Ubomi bunzima...
Kodwa uyancuma...
[HOOK]
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Azibonwa mntu...
Ufihla intlungu
Ngoncumo oluhle
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Ziwele ebusuku
Xa ihlabathi lilele
Yena esavukile
[VERSE 1]
Uvuka kusasa
Ngaphambi kwelanga
Abantwana balindile
Nomsebenzi ulindile
Uyakhathala
Kodwa akakhalazi
Uyathandaza
Aqhubeke nomhla
Bonke bayamfuna
Bonke baxhomekeke kuye
Kodwa bambalwa
Ababuza ngentliziyo yakhe
[HOOK]
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Azibonwa mntu...
Ufihla intlungu
Ngoncumo oluhle
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Ziwele ebusuku
Xa ihlabathi lilele
Yena esavukile
[VERSE 2]
Kukho amanxeba
Angabonakaliyo
Kukho iintlungu
Angazithethiyo
Uphatha usapho
Ngamandla akhe
Nangona ngamanye amaxesha
Eziva ebuthathaka
Njengentyatyambo
Phantsi komoya
Intle kakhulu
Kodwa ithambe kakhulu
[BRIDGE]
Mama...
Siyakubona...
Mama...
Siyakuva...
Mama...
Ungedwa na?
Mama...
Siyakuthanda...
[FINAL HOOK]
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Azibonwa mntu...
Ufihla intlungu
Ngoncumo oluhle
Iinyembezi zakhe...
Ziwele ebusuku
Kodwa kusasa
Uyaphinda akhanye
Iinyembezi zakhe...
