Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]
Ndi ya ku khumbula mna [I miss you]
La la, La la

Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]
Ndi ya ku khalela mna [I cry for you]

Motswalle waka [My dear friend]
Ngwana mme [My mother's child]
Ndiyani khumbula [I miss you]
La la kahle [Farewell]

We sangoma ngi velelwe [Oh, spiritual healer, I'm troubled]
We baba ngivelelwe [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]
We baba ngivelelwe [Oh, my father, I'm in pain]
(Repeat)

Oh mta ka mama wam [Oh, my mother's child]
Oh mfo wethu [Oh, my dear brother]
Ndi ya ku khalela mna [I cry for you]

Motswalle waka [My dear friend]
Ngwana mme [My mother's child]
Ndiyani khumbula [I miss you]
La la kahle [Farewell]

I nearly cry each time I hear this song. It's so hauntingly beautiful.

Worked more on Mahi Mahi last night, and have fallen head over heels for this little girl. XD  *her back leg is really wonky and I'll be fixing that today*   She's got the "Ohm" symbol on her forhead, the pendant is one I am getting with the "Om Mani Padme Om" mantra and she'll have my 2 mala bracelets around her tail. I've been wanting a smaller feline character for a while, and always did love Mai when she was an ocelot. ^^  This is a step out of my normal cartoony style and I do like it. Though I think the eyes make it look like something off that Kitten maker on DA. I do admire that artists work, but didn't mean for it to look similar. Do love the big eyes though. XD



Finished reading "Shanghai Girls" the other night but was really confused at the ending. Made me think there was a sequel, but there isn't. It was a good book overall and I love anything by Lisa See. I'm currently re-reading "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" for about the 4th time.

books, lisa see, lyrics, tlk, art, style
