Any sheet music to this? I’m in the US so i definitely need help with the lyrics and pronunciation

[@centiamodisakeng]

​​​@@soulbroscFor the chords etc, you're going to have to play it by ear.

Areyeng hae ka bo nako

[@soulbrosc]

@centiamodisakeng okay thanks I figured that.

[@TumeloCarson]

@@soulbrosc hey, you will have to contact the composer of the song Mbuso Ndlovu. He most likely has the sheet music of this lovely piece.
