Margaret Singana - Mama Tembu's Wedding Lyrics

Lyrics Mama Tembu's Wedding - Margaret Singana

Tonight's tonight's the wedding feast

The men arrive with the slaughtered beast

A wail, a chant soon fills the air

For miles around the people hear

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

All the spirits looking, shouting their delight

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright

Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja

The neighbours kneel and kiss the bride

The warrior waits, hes filled with pride

The drummer starts to pound the drum

For miles around they hear the sound

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

All the spirits looking, shouting their delight

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright

Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja

And I sighed and I called in the deep of the night

Because never before have I seen such a sight

As the bride Mama Tembu walks out through the door

And the valleys still echoes the sound of the roar

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

All the spirits looking, shouting their delight

Mama Tembus getting married here tonight

The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright

Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
