Domba Song No. 20

 1   a thi na sheleni ya u renga domba.
   I have no shilling to buy (snuff for) domba.
 2  Aa, thi nayo, !
   Ah! I do not have it, my child!
 Chorus:  Fhumulani nwananga! swz.
   Be quiet, my child! Domba will come to an end.

 

  This is said to have been composed by Tshimbiluni Makumbila, when he ran domba at Mukula in 1955. He asked the girls why they had not brought him any snuff as a present, and they said that they did not have a shilling with which to buy it. This gave him the idea for the song.
