E hodimodimo marung.
Phezulu esibhakabhakeni.
Iphezulu kakhulu esibhakabhakeni.
It is high up in the sky.
E hodimodimo marung, ka hodima kgwedi. E ile!
Ngabe lidlule inyanga? Ngubani owaziyo?
Iphezulu kakhulu esibhakabhakeni, ngaphaya kwenyanga. Imkile!
It is high up in the sky.
It is over the moon.
It is gone!
