Paroles et traduction Sjava - Umama

Umama

Ngikhumbul' uma
Ak'savumi, uma
Ang'sakhoni
Ngikhumbul' uma
Ngith' ak'savumi
Ng'khumbul' uma

Sebeth' indod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngek' ni-understand
Ndod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngeke ni-understande

Uyojabula mang'fika
Athi uShembe uyaphila
Kule'ngozi zom'gwaqo mntanami ng'yajabula ufike usaphila
Beka i'khwama ke Msamu
Land' impepho kagogo erondweni
Ng'phahle, ngikhulume nabadala, ng'batshele usemagcekeni
Imvul' iyana emakhaya
Ses'phelile amakhaza
Mawubuy' eGoli, cel' ung'phathel' i-heater ngob' ngempela uzong'gcwaba
Yaz' uma, av'unamahlaya
Ngek' ushone ng'sak'thanda
K'yoba is'busiso kimi ukuthi ubekhona mawami mang'shada

Ngob' uyokwazi 'th'ukung'bonisa
Mase zing'buyela emshadweni
Ngoba uyokwazi 'th'ukung'duduza
Mase zing'buyela ng'thi emshadweni

Ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni
Ngikhumbul' uma
'Thi ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni
Ngikhumbul' uma

Sebeth' indod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngek' ni-understand
Ndod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngek' ni-understand

Into eng'ythanda ngekhaya
Ukuthi ekhaya, ak'ngenwa ngemali
Noma ng'ngasebenzi umama ung'thanda ngingenani
Nom' umhlaba ungang'shaya uzong'thulisa athi, "mntanam' ungakhali"
'Bukek' ukhathele, awuthi ngiland' ukudla baba hlalaphansi

Ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni
Ngikhumbul' uma
Ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni, ang'sakhoni
Ngikhumbul' uma

Sebeth' indod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngek' ni-understand
Ndod' endala kangaka ikhalel' umawayo
Tha, bafwethu ngek' ni-understand

Mother

I remember when
She no longer agrees, when
She can no longer
I remember when
When she no longer agrees
I remember when

A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand
A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand

She'll be happy when I arrive
Saying Shembe is alive
With all these road accidents my child, I'm glad you arrived alive
Put down your bag Msamu
Fetch grandma's incense from the wardrobe
Let me hurry and talk to the elders, tell them you're at the homestead
It's raining at home
The cold season is finally over
When you return to Joburg, please bring me a heater because this cold will really bury me
My mother is so funny
I don't want her to die while I still love her
It'll be a blessing for me to have her present at my wedding

Because she'll be able to show you off
When you come back for the wedding
Because she'll be able to comfort you
When you come back for the wedding

I can no longer, I can no longer, I can no longer
I remember when
When I could no longer, I could no longer, I could no longer
I remember when

A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand
A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand

What I love about home
Is that at home, money doesn't matter
Even if I'm unemployed my mother loves me regardless
Even if the world gives me a hard time, she'll calm me down and say, "my child don't cry"
You look tired, let me fetch you some food dad, sit down

I can no longer, I can no longer, I can no longer
I remember when
I can no longer, I can no longer, I can no longer
I remember when

A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand
A grown man like me crying for his mother
My brothers, you won't understand
