Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba (my father is not at peace)

Ngahlangana nomfo' kasibiya
(I met up with yesterday)
Wathi "we-jonathan, kahle mina
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ongasekho ekhomba inkomo yakhe
(I dream of my late father at his ox)
engitshela ethi "wemfana wami
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma ngihamba wemfana wami
(on the day I away and leave this earth)
Musa ukungifihla (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
wami
(my boy)
Awungebesa senkomo emhlophe, wemfana wami
(you bury me wrapped in the skin of a white ox, my boy)
Awungihambisa emhlophe
(you should me on my last journey by means of a white ox)
Inkomo, kababa, wo-ye-ye-ye!
(the ox, the ox of my father....)

Akalele ubaba
(father is not at at home)
ibokisi, ufuna inkomo
(he not want a coffin, he wants an ox)
ubaba ekhaya
(father is not at home)
Washo mfokasibiya wathi "jonathan lalela
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
kababa kwenzeka isimanga
(on the day my died a most unfortunate thing happened)
bomndeni babethi bayamdumisa
(our family thought they would give great sendoff)
Bamfihla ngebokisi
(and they buried him in a coffin, he did not want this)
Saxabana sodwa bomndeni (x2)
(we fought ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngathi mina bayasithela ngebadi
(we argued because I they had done something which would bring great
Misfortune)
ngelelolanga sifihla ubaba
(it was difficult the day we my father)
Benkunzima
(it was difficult day)

Ubaba akalele ekhaya, isibaya
(father is not at ease at home, his spirit wanders the cattle
Enclosure)
Ibokisi selimbophile
(it imprisoned by the coffin)
Ufuna isikhumba senkomo (x2)
(his spirit wants to be accompanied by his ox)
