Sello 'Chicco' Twala - Umbala maG-string

Another hit from the man himself, off the 'Black Man White Wife' album

[@timengold]

SONG: "Umbala Ma G-String" by Chicco [Lyrics: ] My wife doesn't want to wear a scarf anymore She doesn't want to wear traditional attires, she doesn't want to wear traditional attires anymore She even came back to Johannesburg, and she wasn't interested in wearing a dress anymore (After she came back from the cities, she wasn't interested in wearing a dress anymore) She wants to wear the western clothes, the G-strings and mini skirts (She wants to wear the western clothes, the G-strings and mini skirts) My wife is shocking me (My wife is shocking me) The mother of my children is shocking me (The mother of my children is shocking me) Mother of my children, why are you shocking me? (Mother of my children, why are you shocking me?) x2 She has changed since she came back from the cities x2 My wife, she is shocking me (My wife is shocking me) x2 What did the women in the cities show her? x2 She no longer wears skirts, she wears shorts and G-strings (She no longer wears traditional Tsonga attires, she now wears bumshorts and G-strings) x2 She has changed since she came back from the cities x2 My wife, she is shocking me (My wife is shocking me) x5 Mother of my children, why are you shocking me? (Mother of my children, why are you shocking me?) x4 My wife is shocking me (My wife is shocking me) x5 She no longer wears skirts. She wears shorts and G-strings (She no longer wears traditional Tsonga attires, she now wears bumshorts and G-strings) x2 Mother of my children why are you shocking me? (Mother of my children why are you shocking me?) x4 --------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S: These lyrics have been copied from a comment deep in the "comment section". I've only tried translating it to English. Cause we can enjoy a song we don't even understand, but we appreciate a song when we really get the message behind it. And yep, this one really does have a strong one: *"DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR VALUES FOR MODERNITY"*

[@user-vl9vl2hm7o]

Thank you so much for translating this beautiful song. I just loved this song from the soap Muvango without understanding the meaning. A beautiful song indeed.
