Inhliziyo Ekhaya

Ngisamuzwa umama engibiza, Phakathi kobusuku ngikhatshana,

Ikhaya likhatshana kodwa angilikhohlwanga,

IZimbabwe isenhliziyweni yami.

(Mmm... ekhaya...)

Sazalwa impilo isiqalisa ukuba nzima,

Sakhula sizwa ngezikhathi ezazingcono,

Abadala besithi amathuba ayemanengi,

Thina sakhula silindele elakusasa.

Amabhuku ezandleni, amaphupho enhliziyweni,

Kodwa iminyango yayilokhu ivaleka,

Ngavalelisa umama, ngavalelisa ubaba,

Ngeqa umngcele ngiyadinga impilo.

Ngathi, "Mama, ngizabuya masinyane,"

Kodwa iminyaka emihlanu yadlula,

Amadolobho amatsha, abantu engingabaziyo,

Kodwa akukho okufana lekhaya.

Kasihambanga ngoba saphelelwa lithemba,

Sahamba ngoba ukuphila kwasekunzima,

Zimbabwe,

uyabezwa yini abantwabakho? Sikhatshana kodwa inhliziyo isekhaya!

(EKHAYA! EKHAYA! SIFUNA EKHAYA!) (ZIMBABWE,

SISENGABANTWANA BAKHO!) Nxa ikusasa lingasinika ithemba,

Sizagijima sibuyele ekhaya!

Irenti iphezulu,

lamalanga made,

Imithelo ithatha okuncane esikutholayo,

Emini ngiyahleka kungathi konke kulungile,

Ebusuku ngiyakhala ngikhumbula ekhaya.

Amasiko amatsha, indawo esingayaziyo,

Sifunda ukuphila labantu abatsha,

Kodwa imicimbi yonke lezinsuku zemuli,

Kungikhumbuza konke engakutshiya ekhaya.

Bathi, "Buyelani kini, lelilizwe ngelakithi," Kodwa mfowethu,

kasizanga ukuzolwa, Singabatsha nje sidinga ikusasa,

Sifuna ukuphakamisa imuli zakithi.

Imisebenzi ilutshwana, izibhedlela ziyahlupheka,

Lezikolo azisaniki ithemba njengakuqala,

Kasifuni isihawu, sifuna amathuba,

Isizatho sokuthi sibuyele ekhaya.

Imigwaqo yethu izavuleka nini?

Abatsha bazayekela ukuhamba nini?

Amaphupho azaphila ekhaya nini?

Sizaphinda sithembe ikusasa nini?

Both: Sisawuthanda umhlabathi esasizalelwa kuwo,

Siyakwazi ukuthi singabantwana bani—

Kasihambanga ngoba saphelelwa lithemba,

Sahamba ngoba ukuphila kwasekunzima,

Zimbabwe, uyabezwa yini abantwabakho?

Sikhatshana kodwa inhliziyo isekhaya!

(EKHAYA!

EKHAYA!

SIFUNA

EKHAYA!) (ZIMBABWE, SISENGABANTWANA BAKHO!)

(EKHAYA! EKHAYA! ZWANA ILIZWI LETHU!) (NGELINYE ILANGA SIZABUYA!) Ngisamkhumbula umama.

Ngisacabanga ngobaba. Both: Siphe ikusasa esingabuyela kulo,

Sibuye sakhe sonke ndawonye.

Both: Sahamba ukuze siphile,

Kodwa ikhaya

kalizange

lisuke enhliziyweni. (Zimbabwe... Zimbabwe...

ekhaya...)
