Bola yanga khulwane tswuku.
Ibhola lami elikhulu, elibomvu.
Ibhola yam enkulu, ebomvu.
My big red ball.
Ndi raha bola tswuku.
Ngikhahlela ibhola lami elibomvu.
Ndikhaba ibhola yam ebomvu.
I kick my red ball.
Ndi raha bola tswuku nga maanda!
Ngikhahlela ibhola lami elibomvu kakhulu!
Ndiyikhaba kakhulu ibhola yam ebomvu!
I kick my red ball hard!
I ngafhi bola yanga zwino?
Liphi ibhola lami manje?
Iphi ibhola yam ngoku?
Where is my ball now?
I ngafhi bola yanga tswuku zwino?
Liphi ibhola lami elibomvu manje?
Iphi ibhola yam ebomvu ngoku?
Where is my red ball
now?
I ntha ntha tadulu.
Phezulu esibhakabhakeni.
Iphezulu kakhulu esibhakabhakeni.
It is high up in the sky.
I ntha ntha tadulu murahu ha nwedzi, Yo tuwa!
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!
