The Knocking To The Door

Ba a goeletša... Ba a goeletša...

Hulle skree... Hulle skree...
They do shout Hello when you want to hide!
Bayamemeza... Bayamemeza...
Go a tšhosa... Go a tšhosa...
Dit spook... Dit spook...

A fake greeting is looming on the outside!

Kuyeza... Kuyeza...
Ke a fihla... Ke a fihla...
Ek kom aan... Ek kom aan...
I am arriving but I want to turn back!
Ngiyafika... Ngiyafika...

E tlo thibela... E tlo thibela...

Dit sal blok... Dit sal blok...
The crowded entrance will block the track!
Kuzovala... Kuzovala...
Re a lala... Re a lala...
Ons bly te lank... Ons bly te lank...

We are staying way too long at the door!

Sihlala ixesha elide... Sihlala ixesha elide...
O swanetše go tšhaba... O swanetše go tšhaba...
Jy moet vlug... Jy moet vlug...
You must go away quickly across the floor!
Kufuneka ubaleke... Kufuneka ubaleke...

O ile a thibelwa... O ile a thibelwa...

Hy was verban... Hy was verban...
The uninvited guest was banned out today!
Wavalelwa ngaphandle... Wavalelwa ngaphandle...
Nka tšea... Nka tšea...
Ek kan vat... Ek kan vat...

Ican take my congé and run far away!

Ndingathatha... Ndingathatha...
