Silile from USILILE by ZANA CULTURAL VANGUARD

Father: Silile ngwanagu,ndingwe maka thama
Munditatabo muti andinatjangu.
(Don't cry my child, you caused this situation, you and your mother,
when you expelled me from the family saying I am a poor man)

Child: Tate ndakabe ndili ngwana,ndisingazibe tjingwe
Heyi tate ingwi,andina bakanyi.
(I was young when this happened my father,
Not knowing what will happen& the consequences
Oooh...my father I don't have parents)

Father: Andinga kutate, iwe ungwanangu
Ulopa langu,imi nditate babo.
(I can't reject you,you are my child, we share the same blood &I am your father)

Child: Andina bakanyi,baka pela bose
Andina bakanyi,ndasala nangwi tate.
(I don't have family, all family members have died &am am left with you as my last hope)

Father: Makamu ayapo, mahadzi babo aba
Na batetenini, kose na kuku babo *2
(Your family (relatives) is here; here is your aunty, your uncle, and your grandmother)

Buyazo ngwanangu,lekata gugo ogu
Danga lilo eli,kose nenzi Iwo *2
(Welcome home my child &get your inheritance; livestock and &house)

Child: Tate ndoboka,ndoboka ndili ngwana
Ndo pululudza,nasi mandi bona
(I am grateful as your child my father & I am ululating and rejoicing)

Father: Kene ndikafabo ndolala ne kunyalala
Ndoofa ndaka shatha,ndaku bona ngwanangu.
(If i can die now, i will rest(die) in peace, i will die happily because i have found you my child)

Child: Tate ndawila,namibo ndashatha
Namibo ndamubona,ndoofa ndaka shatha
(I am happy too my father and now settled because i have found you, and i will die happily too)

Balume bose ngaba shake bana babo
Heyi Tate ingwi nasi ndashatha
(Let all men look for their children...oooh my father today am happy)

Mpululu MmaJotia *3...Tate ndaba bona
(Ululate with me...I met with my father)
Mpululu MmaJotia *3...bandi amutjila
(Ululate with me...I met with my father)
