Stimela sihamba ngamalahle, (The train that drives using coal)
Sivela eDalaku Bay (Coming from Delgoa Bay - Now Maputo)
Sangilahla kwa-Guqa (It dropped me off Kwa-Guqa - Witbank – Emalahleni)
Bathi sizomba amalahle (They say we are here to mine for coal)
Sihleli njenge Zinja (We live like dogs)
Emigodini (Underground)
Sikhalel' izihlobo zethu (We weep for our relatives)
Masibuyeleni ekhaya bo (Let's go back home)
Sikhalel' izingane zethu (We weep for our children)
Masibuyeleni ekhaya bo (Let's go back home)
Sikhalel' amaCherrie wethu (We weep for our girlfriends)
Masibuyeleni ekhaya bo (Let's go back home)
Sikhalel' abazali bethu (We weep for our parents)
Masibuyeleni ekhaya bo (Let's go back home)
