Domba Song No. 7

 

 1  Phuruphuru ya vha vhurwa!
   Phuruphuru is from the south!
 2  Malema -vhathu (madya-vhathu)!
   The Pedi, the eaters of men!
 Chorus:   u vhone!
   Come and see (him)!

  It is most unlikely that the Pedi were ever cannibals, but they made a great impression on the Venda when they massacred many people at Mbilwi during the 19th century (van Warmelo 1940 :44-45 and 147-48).
