THE CRY TO ABAPANTSI
Ooh yini na kangaka, sisifa!
Can't you see the shame of the living?
streets showered with blood of the truth believers
once they talk it's the end of their live's living
i'm torn and angry because you no longer ruling.
Ooh yinina kangaka sisifa!
shake your bones on the ground
to reject the black child's blood to your side
come at night to whisper in souls
to reveal your secrets to the world.
camagu kaloku!
Please show your self
let the people know your wealth
camagu ko'mkhulu you the king of kings
let your self be known.

It would be interesting to know the translation of the other language in this poem to see how it adds to the piece.

first and second stanza, their first lines express the pain and suffer of the native children of Africa to their gods ,pleading to stop the killing of innocent people. "(ooh yinina kangaka sisifa!)"
the first line from the last stanza "camagu kaloku", shows how the native children from Africa pray to their gods in pain, forcing them to act towards their needs
"camagu Ko'mkhulu" means "your worship"

It's good to see a fellow countryman in this space and seeing the work you've done you've been here for awhile
Inkondlo yakho ekhala kubaphansi ebika isimo esibi esiphila ngaphansi kwaso
Kunzima mfowethu
Uphile lapho nomndeni wakho
