King Shaka
Shaka kaSenzangakhona
Lemogang Tsipa
UNodumehlezi kaMenzi,
USishaka kasishayeki kanjengamanzi,
Ilemb’eleq’ amany’amalembe ngokukhalipha,
UShaka ngiyesab’ ukuthi nguShaka.He who is famous without effort, son of Menzi.
He who beats but is not beaten, unlike water.
The axe that surpasses other axes in sharpness ...
Shaka, I fear to say he is Shaka
