Ubaba akalele (my is not at peace)

Ngahlangana nomfo' kasibiya

Wathi "we-jonathan, angiphathekile mina
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ubaba ongasekho ekhomba inkomo
(I dream of my late father at his ox)
Ngikhumbula ethi "wemfana wami
(and I him telling me -- "my boy
Uma ngihamba wemfana wami
(on the day I pass and leave this earth)
ukungifihla ngebokisi (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
wami
(my boy)
Awungebesa ngesikhumba emhlophe, wemfana wami
(you should me wrapped in the skin of a white ox, my boy)
Awungihambisa ngenkomo
(you should send me on my last journey by of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!

Akalele ekhaya
(father is not at at home)
Akafuni ibokisi, inkomo

(on the day my father died a most unfortunate happened)
Abantu babethi bayamdumisa

Bamfihla ngebokisi
(and they buried him in a coffin, knowing he did not this)
Saxabana thina sodwa (x2)
(we among ourselves, we the members of the family)

Ibokisi lakhe

Ufuna isikhumba senkomo (x2)
