NZITSILE KHUNDEBE YIYO

(Tune: Sitting at the feet of Jesus)

[1]
Nzitsile khundebe yiyo,
Omwibaali mukhongo,
Wisunde okhuhulila
Makhuwa ka sabanga ;
Mbe omwoyo kwokhuhomba,
Nzibaala khusaaya,
Singa olwa wabeebaala
Abeechi babo khale.

[2]
Witse Mwoyo Omutsienukhu
Henga mumwoyo kwanje,
Yinia akarali malayi
Aka okhayanga ise ;
Bulalilo bwaNyasaye
Umanyie obwa ekhola ;
Mbe tsingufu okhwihanya
Obutamanu bwosi.

[3]
Nindanga imbeli wuwo,
Yanza okwhitsulila
Ka okhuhola khukhwo khwosi
Lwa wali musibala ;
Kho omwoyo kwanje kukhaaba
Kufwanana nowuwo
Mumilimo chianje chiosi,
Khandi mutsimbabasi.

[4]
Nindanga imbeli wuwo
Mwoyo kwanje kwitsuule
Nokhwitsomia okhwinji
Khutsimbabasi tsitsio ;
Subilanga amalako
Akomusitabusio ;
Okhusubila okhwinji
Khuli mumwoyo kwanje.
