Mamma Tembu's Wedding
Tonight, tonight’s the wedding feast
The men arrive with a slaughtered beast
A wail a chant soon fills the air
For miles around the people hear
Mama Tembu’s getting married here tonight
All the spirits looking, shouting their delight
Mama Tembu’s getting married here tonight
Bones are thrown and mama's path is very bright
Ela gqirha lagqita laqabela phaya
Ela gqirha lagqita laqabela phaya
Ela gqirha lagqita laqabela phaya

The maidens kneel and kiss the bride
The warrior waits he’s filled with pride
The drummer starts to pound the drum
For miles around they hear the sound
Mama Tembu’s getting married here tonight
All the spirits looking shouting their delight
