Yakhala intokazi...

this is a Zulu poem, where by a lady regrets all the bad she has done, but at the same time consoling her self that all the deeds will not bring her down.

Bathi ukudl’umuntu akukhon’ukumqeda.

Yakhal’intokazi yath’angeke ngikwaz’ukubayeka ngibathanda bonke.

Ngobanelisa, ngibanike uthando lwami lonke.

Ngempela bangishaye nge love portion loku esengikwenza yi-love donation.

Ngyaphuma ngyangen’emadoneni yi-rotaion.

Namhlanje lalela nans’i-confession

 

Ngempela ukudl’umuntu, akukhona ukumqeda

Webazali anoyek’ukuthengel’izingane amphent’amakhulu.

Ayohamba ehla ngisho naphambi komkhulu.

Kugawula omdala nomcana,

Kusina kudedelwana kanti kwakhalanyonini  kulelihlathi

 

Yasho yathi…

Umzimba wam’ithempele likankulunkulu,kodwa lokhu esengiku qalil’angisale ngikuqeda,

Agg ukudla umuntu akukhon’ukumqeda.

We madoda anibuke inkundla isingaka isigegeda.

Ngabiz’izingane z’odlala izingendo, kazi ngyokwenda

 

Awusatholi ukuth’ihhovisi lamuphi umnyango

Awu kodwa ngakhona phela lakumina ibisifana nedemu

Elithi malikhishiwe emlonyeni wengane ikhale uqanduqand’imemeza

Ilanga lami liyeza, uvalo luyankenteza, ngaze ngazenza.

Izinyembezi ziyogeleza, imivuzo yalokhu ebengikwenza.

 

Bathi ukudl’umuntu akukhon’ukumqeda.

Yakhal’intokazi yath’angeke ngikwaz’ukubayeka ngibathanda bonke.

Ngobanelisa, ngibanike uthando lwami lonke.

Ngempela bangishaye nge love portion loku esengikwenza yi-love donation.

Ngyaphuma ngyangen’emadoneni yi-rotaion.

Namhlanje lalela nans’i-confession
