Paroles et traduction Brenda Fassie - Mali

Mali

Ngothini mina babo
Ngothini mina ngawe mali
Ngolila mina kuze kube nini ngayo
Umama wangitshela ngawe wathi awulunganga
Uthathe abantwabam uthathe nomuzi wam
Kanti mina nanini kuwe somandla kuncono ungithathe nami ngilandele umama wami
Kanti lomhkaba unjani
Kanti lomthetho unjani
Umuntu ngu muntu nge mali

Mali

I'm begging you, Father
I'm begging you on my behalf
How long must I cry about this?
My mother told me about you, she said you're not right
You took my children, you took my home
Why don't you take me too, so that I can follow my mother?
What is this nonsense?
What is this law?
A person is a person because of their money
