White Guys Raps in Xhosa - Ndingumlungu - Quite a White Ou - Music Video Original Version

ONLINE XHOSA COURSES at http://www.learnxhosaonline.com

This video is dedicated to Nelson Mandela, whose legacy is being wasted or exploited by most influential South Africans of all colours.

QUITE A WHITE OU (or QAWO, and the Q is a click!). "Ndingumlungu" means "Im a white ou". The lyrics and visuals challenge racial stereotypes, whilst trying to teach people valuable phrases whilst still learning to speak Xhosa.

LYRICS:

Ndisafunda isiXhosa (Im still learning Xhosa)
Ndithetha kancinci. (I only speak a little)
So Khawuzekelele (So Please talk slowly)
xa uthetha nami (when you speak with me)

The track's lyrics and translations can be learnt in the "Learn the Lyrics" video (   • Quite a White Ou - Ndingumlungu  - Le...  ). Or scroll down further .....

CHORUS:
Ndisafunda isiXhosa (Im still learning Xhosa)
Ndithetha kancinci. (I speak a little only)
So Khawuzekelele (So Please talk slowly)
xa uthetha nami (when you speak with me) X 2


VERSE 1:
Ndithetha kancinci kuba ndingumlungu*
I talk a little xhosa because I'm a white ou.
Ngikhuluma kancane kuba ndingumlungu
I talk a little zulu because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukujiva kuba ndingumlungu
I don't know how to dance because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukucula kuba ndingumlungu
I don't know how to sing because I'm a white ou.

kuba - because,
ndingumlungu - I'm a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:
Andithathi iteksi x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I don't take taxis because I'm a white ou.
Ndiqhuba Mercedes x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I drive a Mercedes because I'm a white ou.
Andikwazi ukushela kuba ndingumlungu
I don't pick up girls because I'm a white ou.
Ndithanda ukukempa kuba ndingumlungu
I love to camp because I'm a white ou.
Ndinxiba ishortsi kuba ndingumlungu
I wear shorts because I'm a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:
Andiqondi, andikuva
I don't understand, I don't get you.

REPEAT CHORUS X2

Ewe - Yes in Xhosa
Yebo - Yes in Zulu
Hayibo - gosh!
Eita - Yo (slang)!

Makhosi - The Lords, the Chiefs, the Ancestors. Makhosi!

"Sorry, ndingumlungu mna" Sorry, Im a whitey mos.
