Umbongo ''Indlala''

INDLALA :- by Sisonke Mlamla (Dingela)

Sizwe ndini sakowethu,

Sizukulwana sabantsundu,

Ndivumeleni ndithethe

Ndivumeleni ndibhibhidle, ndityatyambe,

Kulo mhlaba wakuthi.

Maxesh’ onke ndibolek’ ulwimi lwasemlungwini ndingaqondi

Kodwa namhla ndizibuyisel’ ekhaya kolweenkobe lona ulwimi

Ndithi mandiqhoshe, nto nje ndingonwabanga,

Ndithi mandinazise, ndibebuqonda umonakalo wakuthi.

Seside simke ngamacala nje konakelephi na?

Seside sibengamacango ukuphela, sidliwa yini na?

                                                                 

Nyaka na nyaka, amawaka waka akuthi ayaphela

Ntsuku na ntsuku sigqitywa yindlala

Indlala le iya tshabisa, ngenxa yokonqena.

Masivukeni sizwe akuthi, udlala nje wena, indlala le ayidlali,

Ookhokho bemfuyo, nookhokho bezilimo abasekho namhla,

Masijongane nelifa lemfundo singxoth’ indlala.

Masanezisane ngenkathalo, sibhekephambili.

Indlala le ingathethi nje soyiswa yini na?

Indlala le ingaboni nje soyiswa yini na?

Masibhenele kusombawo, kusonini na nini,

Imbangi nomgqibebelelisi wobomi bethu

Siguqe ngedolo sithandaze,

Sigxoth’ indlala,

Ndisatshaya!!
