| (She was deceived by a burning mountain) for Ugubhu and Voice transcribed from the performance by Mntwana Princess Magogo kaDinizulu by Khanyisile Peterson |
“This is described as a topical satirical song, pointing the moral that once virginity is lost it is gone forever. Princess Magogo described it as a warning for girls, and expressed the opinion that it was a pity that the song was not more widely known and sung today” (Rycroft, 1976).
She was deceived by a burning mountain!
She was deceived, deceived by a burning mountain!
Then she was deceived by a burning mountain!
A mountain that burns to the finish!
She was deceived by a burning mountain!
A mountain that burns to the finish, that newly- burnt veld!
It burned, without regrowth!
CHORUS:
It happened quickly and passed
what was its intention?
Does it make you uneasy at all?
