Umzimvubu Awuvumi

[Intro]
Hayi booo!
Yhooo Mpondo!
Mpondoland!
Kweza umkhosi omkhulu,
Kodwa uFaku wayemi,
Ejonge isizwe sakhe.

[Verse 1]
Kweza iimpi zikaShaka,
Zasondela eMpondoland,
Kwagcwala amadoda,
Kwagcwala izandi zemfazwe.
UFaku wema phambi kwesizwe,
Ephethe ilizwi lobulumko,
Wathi ningoyiki namhlanje,
Umhlaba wethu usasibiza.

[Chorus]
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuqubuda,
Mpondoland iyema,
Nangona izulu liduduma.
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuhlehla,
UFaku uphakamisa ilizwi,
Isizwe simlandela.

[Verse 2]
Iintaba zabona amadoda,
Ephakamisa amakhaka,
Iintombi zakhwaza kude,
Zathumela amandla emkhosini.
Kwakuvakala amanyathelo,
Kumhlaba oshushu wasekhaya,
Wonke umzi wawusazi,
Namhlanje lixesha lokuma.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hayi bo, musani ukoyika,
Imbali ibhalwa ngathi,
Xa intliziyo ibambelela,
Nditsho nomoya uyajika.

[Chorus]
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuqubuda,
Mpondoland iyema,
Nangona izulu liduduma.
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuhlehla,
UFaku uphakamisa ilizwi,
Isizwe simlandela.

[Bridge]
Shaka weza ngamandla,
Kodwa ilizwe alithengiswa,
UFaku wema njengentaba,
Abantu bakhe basondela.
Akukho loyiko emathanjeni,
Akukho kuthula kokoyiswa,
Xa sibambene ngesandla,
Ikhaya lihlala lethu.

[Final Chorus]
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuqubuda,
Mpondoland iyema,
Ngamandla oonyana neentombi.
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuhlehla,
UFaku uphakamisa ilizwi,
Isizwe simlandela.

[Outro]
Hayi booo!
Yhooo Mpondo!
Mpondoland!
Umzimvubu awuvumi,
Awuvumi ukuqubuda.
