Baxabene oxamu
Bexabene ngengxoxo
Bexakwe ingxuba 'xaka

Hayi-ke-le-gqi, iQheya
Laxing' eqhingeni
Beliqhatha baba ngeqhotho leqhude

The monitor lizards are arguing

The monitor lizards are arguing
They are in a heated debate
They are caught in a dilemma

Then a Khoi person
Got caught in the middle of their argument
The lizards were bribing him with a piece of kudu meat
