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
