Drakensberg Boys Choir - Thula thula.wmv

Lullaby from South african(Zulu)

Keep quiet my child
Keep quiet my baby
Be quiet, daddy will be home by dawn
There's a star that will lead him home
The star will brighten his way home
The hills and stones are still the same my love
My life has changed, yes my life has changed
The children grow but you don't know my love
The children grew but you don't see them grow

In Zulu

Thula thul, thula baba, thula sana,
Thul'u babuzo ficka, eku seni. (repeat)
Kukh'in khan-yezi, zi-holel' u baba,
Zim-khan yi-sela indlel'e ziyak-haya,
Sobe sik hona xa bonke be-shoyo,
Be-thi bu-yela u-bu-ye le khaya,
Thula thula thula baba,
Thula thula thula sana,
Thula thula thula baba,
Thula thula thula san.

This is a Zulu song then why is an Owambo with her baby in the picture?

@smehylton you are a great connoisseur. Forget the land, It's for the beauty from this photo, I know It's not from Zulu's people.

Gimme the lines in Zulu!

Good rendition of a popular traditional Zulu lullaby by people who don't speak the language. The choir missed the 2nd line entirely, probably due to the challenge of proper articulation of an unfamiliar language. They just hummed it instead - but very much in tune. Indeed, music cuts across cultural and language barriers. Thank you, boys, much appreciated!
