Lyrics isiZulu:
Ixilongo liyakhala bah bah
Ugubhu luyakhala amagubhu ayabhonga boom boom boom boom

Bayete bayete uShaka kaSenzangakhona
Wena kaNandi iNkosi yamaZulu
Umkhonto kaZulu uhlaba izitha zakhe
Umoya wempi uyaduma izitha ziyaphakama

Hamba phambili AmaZulu bayete
Bayete Bayete Shaka bayete
IZulu liyaduma iwoo iwoo iwoo

Qhuba maZulu wadla uZwide
Waphula amabutho kaNdwandwe njengomoya
Amadodana kaNandi ayaqhakaza
Izitha zibhujiswe ngaphansi kwelanga leNkosi

Bayete Shaka Bayete Shaka
AmaZulu ayakhothama iZulu liyaduma
Bayete Shaka inyanga yempi

Impi iyaqala iyakhuphuka ngezinsimbi
Amabutho ayashayisana ngomkhonto
UShaka uyahlangana nezitha zakhe
Bayete Bayete
Iwoo iwoo iwoo yah yah

Bayete Shaka Bayete Shaka phinda
AmaZulu ayakhothama iZulu liyaduma
Izwi leNkosi liyakhuluma Bayete Shaka

Ixilongo liyakhala bah bah bah bah
Ugubhu luyakhala kuphele
