Lyrics and translation Margaret Singana - Mama Tembu's Wedding




Mama Tembu's Wedding
Le mariage de Mama Tembu
Tonight's tonight's the wedding feast
Ce soir, c'est la fête du mariage
The men arrive with the slaughtered beast
Les hommes arrivent avec la bête abattue
A wail, a chant soon fills the air
Un cri, un chant remplissent bientôt l'air
For miles around the people hear
A des kilomètres à la ronde, les gens entendent
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
All the spirits looking, shouting their delight
Tous les esprits regardent, criant leur joie
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright
Les os sont jetés et l'amour est heureux, brillant de mille feux
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
The neighbours kneel and kiss the bride
Les voisins s'agenouillent et embrassent la mariée
The warrior waits, hes filled with pride
Le guerrier attend, il est rempli de fierté
The drummer starts to pound the drum
Le tambourinaire commence à frapper le tambour
For miles around they hear the sound
A des kilomètres à la ronde, ils entendent le son
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
All the spirits looking, shouting their delight
Tous les esprits regardent, criant leur joie
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright
Les os sont jetés et l'amour est heureux, brillant de mille feux
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
And I sighed and I called in the deep of the night
Et j'ai soupiré et j'ai appelé au plus profond de la nuit
Because never before have I seen such a sight
Parce que jamais auparavant je n'avais vu un tel spectacle
As the bride Mama Tembu walks out through the door
Comme la mariée Mama Tembu sort par la porte
And the valleys still echoes the sound of the roar
Et les vallées résonnent encore du son du rugissement
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
All the spirits looking, shouting their delight
Tous les esprits regardent, criant leur joie
Mama Tembus getting married here tonight
Mama Tembus se marie ici ce soir
The bones are thrown and love is happy, shining bright
Les os sont jetés et l'amour est heureux, brillant de mille feux
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
Ela chle ghala chle thalakalela paja
