Breakfast Nyala

I do speak 11 languages, none are of the Niger-Congo language family or Bantu language group... but, I started learning Zulu after a trip to South Africa a few years back. I believe this is Xhosa, which is a Bantu language similar to Zulu and Swahili... all spoken in South Africa. I only have a Zulu dictionary, so this is just a shot in the dark here, but this sounds like what they are singing... and I'm giving a rough translation thanks to Google Translate.

Rough Translation

This is the angel who called us together

no matter what

This is what we have to do with our friends

no matter what

[*note] I think most of us who like this song would LOVE it if someone who actually spoke a Bantu language would transcribe and translate this song. This is the best I could come up with... ;)
