"Mmangwane Mpulele, Ke nwela ke pula. Le ga di pedi, le ga di le tharo. Nka nyala mosadi" So this is a Sepedi/Setswana wedding song. When we go marry a woman we we go with cattle as a lobola (price for the bride). At her home gate we'll be welcomed by her Aunt and Uncles waiting for us. With this song we're at the gate and asking them to open for us because it's rainy. We're even willing to pay 2 or more cows for them to open so we start with the celebration.
