Lomhlaba Kawunoni (The Earth Never Gets Fat)

Lomhlaba kawunoni madoda
Lomhlaba kawunoni madoda
Nbokuthath′ izinsizwa nezintombi
Nezingane zethu nawobabamkhulu

Bakuwo lomhaba

Uyadela sidumbu
Ngokulal' ethuneni
Umoya uyazula
Indawo kayikho ezulwini.

Webakithi, sihawukeleni webakithi
Sihawukeleni, sihawukeleni, sihawukeleni
Sihluphekil′ umasinje-nje
Okwami okwezandla


AYE
KUMNANDI KWELAKITHI
EMNAMBITHI!

The Earth Never Gets Fat

The earth never gets fat
The earth never gets fat
It keeps swallowing our men and women
Even our children and our grandparents

They are all six feet underground

Blessed is the corpse
That finds a resting place in the grave
While the spirit wanders about
Because there is no room in heaven

Brothers and sisters
Sympathize with us
We have suffered as it is
Sympathize with us

Aye
It is well in our land of Ladysmith
