Baxabene Oxamu


Baxabene oxamu

Bexabene ngengxoxo

Bexakwe ingxuba 'xaka


Hayi-ke-le-gqi, iQheya

Laxing' eqhingeni

Beliqhatha baba ngeqhotho leqhude

The monitor lizards are arguing


The monitor lizards are arguing

They are in a heated debate

They are caught in a dilemma


Then a Khoi person

Got caught in the middle of their argument

The lizards were bribing him with a piece of kudu meat
