🎤 LYRICS
(Verse 1)
Kusasa ndavuka ndodwa, ndiphakamise amehlo ezulwini
Umama wayemi emnyango, izinyembezi ziwa buqamama
Wathi: “Mntanam, hamb’ uzame, kodwa musa ukulibala ikhaya”
Ndathatha ithemba, ndafaka entliziyweni yam
Ibhegi yam yayigcwele amaphupha
Ndashiya konke endandikuthanda
Ndashiya isandi sikamama ephakathini kwam
Kodwa ndazi: indlela yam ikhalela igama lam
(Chorus)
Ndiyahamba ngenjongo
Ndishiy’ umama, kodwa ndiyaphelela
Emazweni andingawaziyo, ndiphatha uthando lwakhe
Ndikhangela ikamva, ndizakufika
(Verse 2)
Ndihamba phakathi kwabantu abangazi
Ilizwi elingaphakathi liyakhwaza: “Ungoyiki, yiya phambili”
Ndiyakhumbula ilizwi lakhe xa ndandikhala
“Uphakamise intloko yakho, wena uyakwazi”
Ndiyathandaza phantsi kwezibane ezibandayo
Ndiqhwabela izandla, ndiphupha ngengomso
Nokuba likude, ndifuna ukufika
Noba indlela inzima, ndiyaya
(Chorus)
Ndiyahamba ngenjongo
Ndishiy’ umama, kodwa ndiyaphelela
Emazweni andingawaziyo, ndiphatha uthando lwakhe
Ndikhangela ikamva, ndizakufika
(Outro)
Xa ndifika, ndakubona ukukhanya
Ndakukhumbula amazwi kamama
Ndiyakwazi, andindedwa
Isiphelo sam siphethe uthando lwakhe
