The Wonderful Name Of Hers

Siphelele Sikhulile Lukhele.
What a wonderful name they gave you,
What a meaningful name they gave you,
What a melodious name that you have...

And now I think the letter 'S' sounds glorious:
I mean; just look at it sound...
Siphelele, Sikhulile.
But oh! My nerves be ferocious
Whenever I imagine the surname, 'Simelane.'

Look what they want to do to your name:
'Siphelele Sikhulile Simelane,'
Yuck!

Lord! Who can cry for me?
What language can be heard?
'Wat is daai?'
'Thy art dost what?'
Cry Africa, cry for a desperate son!
Cry, cry for me and make this heard!

They want to change her name to:
'Siphelele Sikhulile Simelane...'
But why not to:
'Siphelele Sikhulile Gamedze?'
