    Limpopo River Song

    A song from Zimbabwe in Northern Ndebele (Sidebele). It is sung by people who have to walk from Matabeleland to
    work in the gold mines of South Africa, crossing the Limpopo River (Ingululkudela) on the way.

    Sayiwela, sayiwela,
    Sayiwela sibili
    Sayiwela Ingulukudela
    Siyofuna imali

    Baphina obaba / okoko


    Basemazulwini
    Basitshiyel'indubeko
    Indubeko zomhlaba

    We crossed it, we crossed it. We really crossed it


    We crossed Ingulukudela, to look for money
    Where are those fathers / mothers?
    They are in heaven. They left us problems. These earthly difficulties
