Ma’mkhulu Yek’ukukhuluma KakhuluAuntie, stop with all the talking
Njalo Ebumnandini Wena Uba MuncuYou always turn sour whenever we’re having fun
Uyinkunzi EmabalabalaYou’re like a ‘colorful bull’
Namhlanje UyabalabalaToday you’re just rambling on
Ekhaya Ak’sekho Mnandi Ngenxa Yakho Yokukhala KhalaIt’s no longer pleasant at home because of your constant complaining
Awu Ma’mkhulu Mus’ukukhuluma KakhuluOh auntie, don’t talk so much
Ubab’omkhulu Uk’bhekile Uhlel’uyathulaThe elder is watching you while he sits in silence
Uyise Ba Yoh-yohTheir father, oh my
Yazi Baba Yoh-yohYou know father, oh my
Lashintsh’izulu Vele Bane-The atmosphere has definitely changed…
Ubab’ufun’ UmfaziThe man’s looking for a wife
Umfazi Wephepha MamaA ‘paper wife’ mama
Uhamb’ebusukuShe’s out in the night
Abuye EkuseniComing home in the morning
Ayi Yen’ujaiva NjaloOh, she’s always out dancing
Ubab’ufun’ UmfaziFather wants a real wife
Umfazi Wephepha MamaNot a ‘paper wife’ mama
Uhamb’ebusukuGone all through the night
Abuye EkuseniBack when the sun rises
Ayi Yen’ujaiva NjaloOh, she’s dancing all the time
