Domba Song No. 23

 1  Ya Nthangeni yo mela,
   Nthangeni's has grown big,
 2  Thumbu ya Nthangeni:
   Nthangeni's stomach:
 3  wana u pfi Madomba!
   The baby will be called 'Madomba'!
 4  Ya Thivhafuni yo mela,
   Thivafuni is pregnant too,
 5  Ya Tshinyadzo yo mela.
   And Tshinyadzo.
 6  Yo mela ngani dombani?
   Why did it grow big at domba?
 7  Dza dzi .
   The other girls' privates were kept behind their aprons.
 Chorus:  Ahee, huwee, ahee!

 

  This song of mockery may be directed specifically at any girl who misbehaves and falls pregnant during domba; and in general it reminds others not to do stupid things (-silinga ).
