An Mbunda song sung by men and women, generally sung when a hunter has brought meat, but also after the hearing of some case between various people. A few verses are:
“Tangwa lia toko nji ka bangila mwebwangi, wa ili musambwa lia ndonga, konja lala tulo njilinga bati mwebwangi na na welelo, buno buta njilinga chilapo.”
The sun is set, I follow my wife, she has crossed the river, I cannot sleep, what shall I do without my wife? Yes, I will make a paddle of my gun.
“Njamba wa funda bilindi bia Kalunga, u yu wa funda umu.”
The elephant digs holes of God, who digs here?
