Misava na seke a yi to pfuleka yi nzdi minta (a xi etleli yoh)The earth and the sand were about to open up and swallow me (it didn’t rest).

Ndzi ri misava na seke a yi to pfuleka yi nzdi mintaI say the ground and sand were ready to pull me under.
A ri misava na seke a yi to pfuleka yi nzdi mintaIt was as if the earth and sand were opening up to swallow me.
Mihloti ya tenga tenga emarhameniTears were rolling down my cheeks.
Yi khukhuluka yi tata nambuThey were flowing down to fill the river.
Namuntlha swi hundzurile yohToday, everything has changed.
A ndza ha tleli nkelu nkelu nkeluI’m no longer crying myself to sleep.
Mihloti ya tenga tenga emarhameniTears used to stream down my face.
Yi khukhuluka yi tata nambuStreaming down until they filled a river.
Namuntlha swi hundzurileBut things are different now.
A ndza ha tleli nkelu nkelu nkeluI don’t go to sleep in such sorrow anymore.
