Translation of the song lyrics Mama Ndiyahamba - The Soil

Mama Ndiyahamba (original)

Ndibonilu madlomo enxibi qhiy’emhophe
Uyandishiya mama
Ulindile mama
Ndimbonilu sokitsho enxibi qhiy’emhophe
Uyandishiya mama
Balindile mama
Ndimbonile umamzotho ephethi tyesi
Athi masgoduke!
masambe noziza
Ndimbonile umamzotho ephethi tyesi
Athi masgoduke!
masambe chiyoshe
We mama ndiyahamba mna…
Ndivulel’indlela ndivulele…
Ndithetha no khokho bam
O ncobele
O mayishe
O qobodwane
O nkosi ayithandi, ithanda abanjani
O ncobele
O mayishe
O qobodwane
O tshawuza bathi siyemva naphambili
Ndivulel’indlela ndivulele…
Bo khokho bam ndivulel’indlela…
Ndivulel’indlela ndivulele…

Mama Ndiyahamba (translation)

I can see the lips of the clothed
My mother is leaving me
Mom is waiting
I have seen him even wearing a veil
My mother is leaving me
They are waiting, mother
I saw him in a mess on the carpet
Let's go home!
let's go and come
I saw him in a mess on the carpet
Let's go home!
let's go
Mom, I'm going...
I pave the way for…
I talk to my ancestors
Oh, be patient
Oh let him go
Oh man
The Lord doesn't like it, what kind of people does he like
Oh, be patient
Oh let him go
Oh man
They say we go back and forth
I pave the way for…
My ancestors paved the way for me…
I pave the way for…
