Igqirhha lendlela nguqo ngqothwane
Igqirhha lendlela kuthwa nguqo ngqothwane
Igqirha lendlela kuthwa nguqo ngqothwane
Igqirhha lendlela nguqo ngqothwane
Selequbule gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane
Seleqabele gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane
Seleqabele gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane

The Click Song (translation)

The road witch is straight
The witch doctor is called a beetle
The path healer is called a beetle
The road witch is straight
It has suddenly burst into flames
It has suddenly become very hot
It has suddenly become very hot
It has suddenly burst into flames
The road surgeon is straightforward
The path healer is called a beetle
The road surgeon is straightforward
The path healer is called a beetle
It has suddenly become very hot
It has suddenly burst into flames
It has suddenly become very hot
It has suddenly burst into flames
