Bolo ya mina leyikulu yo tshuka.
Ibhola lami elikhulu, elibomvu.
Ibhola yam enkulu, ebomvu.
My big red ball.
Ndza yi raha bolo ya mina.
Ngikhahlela ibhola lami.
Ndikhaba ibhola yam.
I kick my ball.

Iphezulu kakhulu esibhakabhakeni.
It is high up in the sky.
Yi le henhlahenhla emoyeni ku hundza na n’weti. Yi fambile!

It is high up in the sky.
It is over the moon.
It is gone!
