Let me try to translate: All at once: I think of the day I was born. People came and were happy to see me. Mom lifted me with both hands and sat with her legs crossed and held her child. x2 Led by bass: All people were happy. They gave me 'sagwata' (a present I think). Led by bass: Grannies sang. They hid their palms in their pockets and danced for me. They were happy and they held me and stroked my cheeks. x2 Led by bass: When I was two weeks old my father slaughtered a goat for the shidzwele ceremony. All at once (chorus): People sang and sang "dance my child". All were happy and singing; they brought me gifts. x5. Led by bass: Today I am all grown I see the world affairs. I know suffering. However I will never forget dad and mom for the trouble they went through for me. All at once: Chrous x2
