- Kuhlwile; uyazibuza ukuba uzonxiba ntoni.
Uya kuthambisa ubuso bakhe kwaye ahlambe iinwele zakhe ezinde eziblond.
Emva koko uyandibuza, 'Ngaba ndikhangeleka kakuhle?'
Kwaye ndithi, 'Ewe, ukhangeleka umangalisa ngobu busuku.'
Siya epatini kwaye wonke umntu uyajika asibone
Eli nzwakazi lihamba nam.
Aze andibuze, 'Ngaba uziva uphilile?'
Kwaye ndithi, 'Ewe, ndiziva ndimnandi ngobu busuku.'
Ndiziva ndimnandi kuba ndiyabona
Ukukhanya kothando emehlweni akho.
Kwaye ummangaliso wayo yonke loo nto
Ngaba awuqondi nje ukuba ndikuthanda kangakanani.
Lixesha lokuba ndigoduke ngoku kwaye ndinentloko ebuhlungu,
Ndiye ndamnika izitshixo zemoto andincedise ebhedini.
Kwaye ke ndiyamxelela, njengoko ndicima isibane,
Ndithi, 'Sithandwa sam, ubumhle ngobu busuku.
Owu sithandwa sam, ubumhle ngobu busuku.'
