Ndicitireni ntsisi, Baba wanga, ndicitireni ntsisi, thangwi moyo wanga usathawira kuna Imwe; mu cithundzithundzi ca maphapido anu ndinabisalamo mpaka pingapita mphepo zakufudza. Ndisakhuwira kuna Baba wanga, Wapadzulu Kakamwe, kuna Baba wathu anakwanirisa cifuno cace kwa ine.

Iye anatuma kubuluka kudzulu mbandipulumusa; iye asasandika ule anaponda ine. Baba wanga anatuma kufuna kwace kwa cibverano na kukhulupirika kwace. Moyo wanga uli pakati pa makango; ndisagona pakati pa ale anafemba moto—anthu akuti mano awo ndi mikondo na miseve, akuti malirimi awo ndi maciswa akutwa. Kwezekani, Baba wanga, padzulu pa thambo! Mbiri yanu mbikhale padzulu pa dziko yonsene!

Iwo aikha ukonde pa njira yanga; ndalemedwa. Iwo afukula djenje patsogolo panga, mbwenye iwo ene agwa mwenemo. Ntima wanga ndi wakulimba, Baba wanga, ntima wanga ndi wakulimba! Ndinaimba mbandicita nyimbo. Lamuka, mbiri yanga! Lamuka, harpa na lira! Ndinalamusa macibese. Ndinakusimbani pakati pa mitundu, imwe Baba Wankulu; ndinakuimbirani pakati pa madzindza. Thangwi kufuna kwanu kwa cibverano kusafika ku thambo, kukhulupirika kwanu kusafika ku makole. Kwezekani, Baba wanga, padzulu pa thambo! Mbiri yanu mbikhale padzulu pa dziko yonsene!
