Enzulwini (In the deep)

Sasiselwandle ngeKilisimesi

At the beach on chrismas

yawinguMbo noMxesibe

There were many people

Babekho phaya entlabathini

Present there in sand

Abaqakatha okwemivundla

They jump like robots (isifaniso=simile)

Bambi bedlaladlala enyeleni

Others playing at shore

Lonxweme amaza ebetha iqatha

of beach waves hit ankles

Babambene behleka iziqazolo

Hold each other laugh out loud

Bengathandi kooDizadala kuseGcibhala

In the deep to experts it is nice

Banqwile okweentlanzi bee zulumbele

Dive like fish they make fish sounds (isandi = onomatopoeia)/(isifaniso=simile)

Bee thu emzuzwini bedlala namaza

appear in a minute bedlala namaza.

Kuluyolo Kubo ukhphala ngeliza

happiness to them = swim on wave

Ngokuhlwa ekhayeni sawuhlafunisisa

evening at home, they were thinking hard

Umcimbi onencasa wemfundo eyiyo

tasting about real education

Noko kukuhle ukuqala enyeleni

Even though pretty to start at the shore

Masifunzele kuyo inzulu yolwazi

Let’s go to the deep.
