Vela Nsizwa

We Ntombi unecala awuzinikanga izinsizwa ithuba lokweshela.

Igome kanjani intombi singayitshelanga ukuthi ntombi
Qoma ngoba thina sesidelile ukweshela.

Ilikhiphe kanjani Iqabane Intombi singayitshelanga ukuthi
Mfake sesidelile ukweshela.

Kumnandi bol ukushela itshitshi wemadoda
Kubuhlungu ukushela intombi ivuka esokeni

Vela nsizwa ezoqonywa yilentombi,vela sikuxhawule
Dede sishele sadela vela nsizwa ezoqonywa yilentombi
Bayaphoxeka abaphathi bezintombi uma ziphunyuka
Esandleni sabo
Bakhuzumhlolo mantombazane nifunani emva kwendlu bazonibamb' abafana.

Wo musan' wemantombazane ukudlala ngegeja kuziliwe
Mantombazane nifunan' emva kwendlu bazonibamb' abafana
Slyabababona labonsuku zimbili isimqomile
Unsuku zintathu isimalile

Unsuku zimbilP isimqomile
Unsuku zintath' isimalile

Vela nawe ntombazane vela sbchawule bo
Ngoba sesishele sadela

Vela Nsizwa

We Ntombi unecala awuzinikanga izinsizwa ithuba lokweshela.

How can we keep on asking the lady if she can allow us to help her?
Go away because we are tired of helping out.

Why did you refuse us to help you lady?
Pack up and leave because we are tired of helping out.

It's nice to help out the husbands of women
It's painful to help out ladies who wake up in the morning

Come young man who will be lucky with this lady, come quickly
Come fast we beg you, come young man who will be lucky with this lady
The guardians of ladies get upset when they run away
From their hands
You young girls are strange what are you looking for behind the house, the boys will catch you.

Ah no, young ladies don't play with fire when no one is home
Young ladies what are you looking for behind the house, the boys will catch you
Slyabababona has been laid for two days
The third day it has been trodden on

Two days it has been laid
The third day it has been trodden on

Come on you lady come, come quickly
Because we have already asked you to leave
