Xa sihamba kunye kwaye indlela inde, sizakuhamba kunye sicula ingoma.
Ndinawe, nawe unam. Uhambo lumnandi nosapho lwethu.
Ndizakukugcina umfumamfuma okwemazi yesikhukukazi.
Igcina amantshontsho ayo efudumele ngaphantsi kwephiko layo.
Xa imvula iqalisa ukuna ukusuka esibhakabhakeni, njengalamnqwazi umhle ndizakugcina ubuso bakho bomile.
Xa isaqhwithi samafu sibanomsindo kwaye simbimbozela kwaye sigcuma, qina, ukhalela ntoni? Awukho wedwa.
Sihamba kunye ngoko ke soze sibenesithukuthezi.
Jonga phezulu! Jonga okusirhangqileyo! Bona apho sihlole khona!
Ukuba ubona into ehlekisayo kuhle ukubona, andifuni ukuyiphosa.
Nceda wabelane ngayo nam!
Ukuba iinyawo zakho ziqalisa ukubabuhlungu ukusuka kumgama esiwugqithileyo, ungakhathazeki, siphumelele!
Nantsi ikliniki ekugqibeleni.
Sonke kufuneka sihlole imiqala yethu, imiphunga kunye neendlebe.
Yomelela njengokuba ukhula, asikho isizathu seenyembezi.
Ucinga ukuba kuyothusa?
Iza, ubambe isandla sam. Uzakukuhlolela uxinzelelo lwegazi ngelibhanti lengalo likrelekrele.
Basinika amayeza ethu, sixelele ngento ekufuneka siyazile ukuzigcina sisempilweni.
Ngoku siyahamba siya ekhaya.
Kufanelekile ukudinwa, kuninzi esikubonileyo.
Ngoku lixesha lakho lokulala.
