Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I am from Mali originally but I live in the US. I love Mafikizolo very much but I do not understand the lyrics. Here in the US it is difficult to find someone who can speak your beautiful language, so I am hoping some of you don't mind helping me out with some translations?

Please translate Nisixoshelani, Ndshata, and Khululeka for me? I have been looking everywhere for translations but cannot find them. I would really appreciate it and maybe I can buy you a beer when I am in Port Elizabeth this summer? Thank you.

Ogo

hola,

nizixoshelani? --> why are you chasing us away?
iphathi imnandi kangaka --> while the party is still nice

khululeka --> relax; be free;

ndshata? not sure about this one

---Ciaa.
