- Description
- The soloist rises in pitch throughout the song. "Rolling downs of Molapo. Mokale and Khethisa are quarreling over the spring at Nkala. Horses are saddled. Who is the mother of the unmarried girl? Giver her a letter, Makamore, the marriage letter. There is a fight at the rolling downs. Horses should be saddled. They are going to Maseru. The worst singer is Raphane's mother. I shouted with a sad voice. I shouted and shook the graves. Women's party song with clapping.
