Somagwaza
My mother travelled to pretoria
To buy the license for the wedding day
My mother travelled to pretoria
To buy the license for the wedding day
Hey, motswala, hey motswala, hey, motswala, hey motswala
My father wants to give the bride away
But I think he's waiting for a dowry
My father wants to give the bride away
But I think he's waiting for a dowry
Hey, motswala, hey motswala, hey motswala, hey motswala
Now the time has come, I have to go;
I wish perhaps I had not hurried so
Now the time has come, I have to go;
I wish perhaps I had not hurried so
Hey, motswala, hey motswala, hey motswala, hey motswala
