Luyện nghe bài hát Ubaba Akalele

Ubaba akalele (my is not at peace)

Ngahlangana nomfo' izolo
(I met up with yesterday)
Wathi "we-jonathan, angiphathekile kahle
(he said, "jonathan, I am in a bad way)
Ngiphupha ubaba ongasekho ekhomba inkomo
(I dream of my late father at his ox)
Ngikhumbula engitshela "wemfana wami
(and I remember him me -- "my boy
Uma ngihamba kulomhlaba wami
(on the day I away and leave this earth)
ukungifihla ngebokisi (x3)
(do not me in a coffin)
wami
(my boy)
Awungebesa senkomo emhlophe, wemfana wami
(you should me wrapped in the skin of a white ox, my boy)
Awungihambisa emhlophe
(you should send me on my last 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 does not want a coffin, he an ox)
Akalele ekhaya
(father is not at home)
Washo mfokasibiya wathi "jonathan lalela
(sibiya continued saying, "jonathan, here.)
Ngokushona kababa isimanga
(on the day my died a most unfortunate thing happened)
Abantu bomndeni bayamdumisa
(our thought they would give hima great sendoff)
Bamfihla ngebokisi
(and they buried him in a coffin, he did not want this)
Saxabana sodwa bomndeni (x2)
(we among ourselves, we the members of the family)
Saxabana ngoba ngathi mina bayasithela
(we argued I said they had done something which would bring great
Misfortune)
Benkunzima ngelelolanga ubaba
(it was the day we buried my father)
Benkunzima
(it was that day)

Ubaba ekhaya, ugudla isibaya
(father is not at ease at home, his spirit wanders around the
Enclosure)
Ibokisi lakhe
(it imprisoned by the coffin)
Ufuna isikhumba yakhe (x2)
(his spirit still wants to be by his ox)
