Chorus

Nomakanjani we dali wam'
Ngeke ngikushiye
Siyofa silahlane
Nomakanjani we dali wam'
Ngeke ngikushiye
Siyofa silahlane

Noma bekuthuka
Bathi awugezi
Unuk'umlomo
Ngikuthanda unjalo
Nomakanjani

Chorus

Noma bengithuka
Bethi nginuk'umlomo
Ehh dali wami ungithanda unjalo
Unjalo Unjalo Ehh Unjalo
Ungithanda unjalo

Nomakanjani nomakanjani
Nomakanjani

Sondela sthandwa sami
Sondela sweety lami
Ohh ngisho ngayo ikhanda yami ey'khulu yo

Nomakanjani nomakanjani
Nomakanjani

Chorus

Noma bekuthuka
Bethi umubi
Unekhand'elikhulu
Ngikuthanda unjalo
Noma bekuthuka
Bathi awugezi
Unuk'umlomo
Ngikuthanda unjalo
Nomakanjani

I love Mafikizolo,they are the best Afro pop group ever.My fav track from thier album six mabone is UNDIENZANTONI.

the best Afro pop group ever?
Malaika, Bongo Maffin, etc will have something to say about that.

Over here, Brenda Fassie is probably unchallenged as an Afro-pop artiste.
Will check out Undienzatoni, maybe we'll have it here later

hehe...Mafikizolo is believed to have set the pace for Malaika, Tyte, etc. Bongo Maffin was more of ragga than Afro-pop. So who knows, they may be the best out there. They are slowly drifting back to Mbaqanga music though, so they may not stay in the same pool as all these other lekker groups :-)

Oh, and the correct spelling is Ondenzantoni (What are u doing to me)...Also one of my fav's from the latest album. Lyrics coming soon. :-)

Nomakanjani we dali wam' -- No matter what, my darling
Ngeke ngikushiye -- I wont leave you
Siyofa silahlane -- Till death do us part

Noma bekuthuka -- Even if people insult you
Bathi awugezi -- And say you do not shower (lol)
Unuk'umlomo -- And that you have bad breath
Ngikuthanda unjalo -- I love you just the way you are
Nomakanjani -- No matter what

Sondela sthandwa sami -- Come closer, my love
Sondela sweety lami -- Come closer sweety
Ohh ngisho ngayo ikhanda yami ey'khulu yo -- Even with your big head, I wont leave you

Thanks Swazibella!

Brenda's songs still get airplay in Ghana.

Very interesting video and lyrics. That other woman is making me laugh paa. What is her problem koraa??

Brenda with da headgear on really resembles one late ghanaian actress, Alexandrea Duah (R.I.P)..was a very gd actress.

Thanks for the translations Swazibella.

True Essie, Brenda does look like the late Alexandra Duah.
Maybe it's no wonder people thought Vul'indlela was a Ghanaian song. Some of the lyrics sound a lot like Twi
