I’d like to take the man who murdered my father by the hand and shake it.

Oh ngithi kuye,
Oh, I’d say to him,

Ngithi Mfwethu Cha nokho iyakwazi ukwenza impilo yomunye umuntu ibenzima.
I’d say, ‘Brother, it’s truly devastating how one can make another person’s life so bitter.’

Wayekhalumama.
My mother was weeping.

Wayekhala umama ekhala kabuhlungu edabukisa okwaba nzima.
My mother wept with such a deep sorrow, a heartbreak that’s made everything unbearable.
