Mama yintopi le uyenzilo.
[Mama what have you done?]
The black wood splintered your hand;
Glint of blade reflects in your eyes.
Mama, what have you done?
Murderous revenge nestles in your soul,
Pounds in your chest, echoing
your terrible deed.
Pounds, pounds, pounds! SILENCE.
Mama, what have you done?
Trickle of scarlet streams
down your arms.
My father’s life succumbed
to your evil.
Undo what has been done, Mama!
Done is not done.
Life is not for the taking.
My father is gone.
Uyandibono Tata?
[Daddy, can you see me?]
No! No! No!
Lost at your hand; your hand
forever tainted.
Heart blackened by fiery rage.
Mama, what have you done?
