Hi,
Does anyone here know the lyrics in English to Vusi Mahlasela's wonderful "Silang Mabele"? I know it is written in about six languages and I would be happy to send the song to anyone who may know the translation. I think the song is one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. I know "silang mabele" is crushing corn and that there is a piece of the song in English, but beyond that I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just heard this song for the first time last week. Discovered Vusi only the week before, driving down the NJ Pike, listening to a college radio show - "World In Tune", I think. Guy played a cut from the new album - Guiding Star - that just started shipping - this week?
Yes, "Silang Mabele" is truly a transporting moment... I want the chord charts; I want the lyrics; I think it shouldn't be that hard for a lot of us to learn! God bless the man, his family and beloveds!

Do u want the translation in English or what. Coz basically what the song says is Grind the Soghum and milk the cows the sun is setting. The children children are hungry and are starving.
