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
ย
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
ย
While the spirit wanders about
ย
Because there is no room in heaven
Brothers and sisters
Sympathize with us
ย
We have suffered as it is
Sympathize with us
Aye
It is well in our land of Ladysmith
