Ndolo Mbombela Mwana

Carolyne Chesi

Inze ku mita vananganga Carolyne Chesi, na kale mama ni yakulekela mwana kwamwimbilanga:

Ndolo mbombera umwana x2

Mama naziye kugenda yavola

Nindilanga kadoto kugoti

Mama ka mbe umwana, awa nzizanga iwetu

Kandi mbe nindi kidandawiri:

Kitandawiri? Tega

Kitandawiri? Tega

Singila angeleka ngolukute?

Vuchima vuloogoli na mbere

Sleep sooth the baby

My name is Carolyne Chesi and long time ago when mother left us with the baby, we used to sing for her this song:

Sleep sooth for me the baby x2

Mother went for a walk and said

I look after the baby

Mother give me the baby, no am going to our home

I also have a riddle:

Riddle: stand on the other side I push you

Answer: baked maize flour with wheat.
