Buya Marie (Marie yey yey)
Ilanga liyoshona (Seliyoshona)
Lofik'ilanga lojikela
Iinyembezi zophalala (Xa ndikubonayo)
Wondikhumbula (La la la)
Nalothando (Nalothando lwakho)
Lwakho Marie (Yah yah yah kunjalo)

Ntombi (Noba sendinje)
Noba sendinjenje (Ndinjena nje)
Ilanga lam (Lofik'i ilanga, lofik'ilanga)
Lofika (Noba sendindedwa nje)
Wondikhumbula mna (Thatha zilahlela)
Tib tib
Oh Bad Marie (Thila lethu liyakhuluma??)
Phila mfana (Thila lethu liyakhuluma??)

Marie (Ta do da do de)
Marie (Ta do da do de)
Marie (Ta do da do de)

Ntombi ilanga liyoshona
Zophalal'iinyembezi
Zundikhumbule
Mna ntombi ndingowakho

Noko neenkanyezi zezulu
Ziyayaz'inyaniso
Ukuthi wen'ungowam
Ngowam, ngowam
Ta do le do le do le
Hmmm
