Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]

Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]

Motswalle waka [My dear friend]
Ngwana mme [My mother's child]
Ndiyani khumbula [I miss you]
La la kahle [Farewell]

We sangoma ngi velelwe [Oh, spiritual healer, I'm troubled]
We baba ngivelelwe [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]
We baba ngivelelwe [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]

Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]
Ndi ya ku khalela mna [I cry for you]

Motswalle waka [My dear friend]
Ngwana mme [My mother's child]
Ndiyani khumbula [I miss you]
La la kahle [Farewell]

I thought lala kahle meant 'sleep well.'

[mariutunio]

@Victim5and5Villain

there's a little difference between 'lala kahle' and 'la la kahle'

If you've seen "The Lion King" musical you would know that this is the song "Endless Night" whis is the song that goes: Where has the starlight gone Dark is the day How can I find my home Home is an empty dream Lost to the night Father I feel so alone You promised you'd be there Whenever I needed you Whenever I call your name your not anywhere That's just the first bit

@59771006 The best movie, and broadway show of all time.

This could be Nala's threnody over losing her little brother, Mheetu. Most of you have probably never heard of Mheetu, since he was cut early in the production.

Dont look at my grammar, im norwegian.
