Here be the lyrics in English:

INTRO: Mamelani - Listen up y'all!

CHORUS:
Ndisafunda isiXhosa (Im still learning Xhosa)
Ndithetha kancinci. (I speak a little only)
So Khawuzekelele (So Please talk slowly)
xa uthetha nami (when you speak with me) X 2


VERSE 1:
Ndithetha kancinci kuba ndingumlungu*
I talk a little xhosa because I'm a white ou.
Ngikhuluma kancane kuba ndingumlungu
I talk a little zulu because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukujiva kuba ndingumlungu
I don't know how to dance because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukucula kuba ndingumlungu
I don't know how to sing because I'm a white ou.

kuba - because,
ndingumlungu - I'm a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:
Andithathi iteksi x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I don't take taxis because I'm a white ou.
Ndiqhuba Mercedes x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I drive a Mercedes because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukushela kuba ndingumlungu
I don't pick up girls because I'm a white ou.
Ndithanda ukukempa kuba ndingumlungu
I love to camp because I'm a white ou.
Ndinxiba ishortsi kuba ndingumlungu
I wear shorts because I'm a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Andiqondi, andikuva
I don't understand, I don't get you.

REPEAT CHORUS X2

Ewe - Yes in Xhosa
Yebo - Yes in Zulu
Hayibo - gosh!
Eita - Yo (slang)!

Makhosi - The Lords, the Chiefs, the Kings and Queens, the Ancestors. Makhosi!

"Sorry, ndingumlungu mna" Sorry, Im a whitey mos.
