Lyrics : Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Music : Christopher Tin
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula, imvula
Ndizawuqabela, ndizawuqabela
Ndizawuqabela, ndizawuqabela
Apho amatapha nentsimi eluhlaza
Ndizawuqabela, ndizawuqabela
Izikhephe ezizotyiweyo zibhabha emoyeni
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
ndibamba umoya
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
ndibambelele ngamaphiko
Iza ngomso, iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela, Makube ngomso
Iza ngomso iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela, Makube ngomso
Kuzawubalela
Iyeza imini
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Kuzawubalela, kuzawubalela
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
Kuzawubalela, kuzawubalela
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
Ndibhabha, ndibhabha, ndidada emhlabeni wonke,
Ndibamba umoya
Phezukwe santizasendle,
Phezukwamalwandle namachibi
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
Njengentaka ndiyacula
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
ndibambelele ngamaphiko
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha!
Iza ngomso, iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela, Makube ngomso
Iza ngomso, iza ngomso
Kuzawubalela, Makube ngomso
Lizaw’balela, Lizaw’balela
Lizaw’balela, Makube ngomso
Lizaw’balela, Lizaw’balela
Lizaw’balela, Makube ngomso
