[Verse 1]
A G D
Die son trek water, soos ek en my bier,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Maar die oseaan is nie bang vir die son se vuur,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Ek dink aan jou want jy is nie hier nie,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
En my bottel is leeg, en my hart is seer.
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Die pad na jou hart, is sonder a brug,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
En die myle na jou deur, is my bitter plig,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Sigukile egoli madoda!
G A Bm A G A
Njengegolovane, ngendaba zemali, ngendaba zemali
[Chorus]
D G A
(Guka! guka wena.uzoguka othandayo)
D G A D G A
Binne in my, ek dra jou binne in my, vir ewig,
D G A
My bloed is koud, en ek word oud, soos taai Kalahari hout,
D G A
Maar herinneringe aan jou stook die kole in my hart,
D G A
(Guka! guka wena.uzoguka othandayo)
D G A
Diep in my, jy's diep in my.
D G A
(Guka! guka wena.uzoguka othandayo)

Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
[Verse 3]
A G D
Die afstand tussen ons is so krom en skeef,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Selfs die bottel sal my nie gou laat vergeet,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Daar’s ‘n sagte klank in die nag se lug,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
As jy slaap in die donker en in jou drome vlug,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
My bottel is gebreek en my hart is seer,
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa,
A G D
Jy's so ver van my af, en die toekoms is leeg.
A
Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa.
