Sekele (Language Tswana)

Why I like the song sekele (circle) by pro kid from South Africa. The song has a very up tempo beat that makes you do the sekele dance where your lean forward with sway and swing from left to right . Pro kid is extremely rude but in a truthful way like in the line 18 and 19 where he says “  Ng'yabona bayang'-robber mang' check' iscore line, Bang' sabotager batheng' ureferee but it's alright,”  which means the ways township boys rob the bank but its all right . Like when you foul in a match but the referee says that it is okay. In South Africa the crime rate is high and 50% of the time criminals get away with it , even if they get caught there will always be someone  working on the inside eventually you will get away with it just like if you foul someone and the don’t get a penalty . ‘Vulan' isekele ’ the first line of the Corus means open the circle (when dancing). “Abeze la sibenzele, daai ding net so, the whole daaaay” , you know we will be parting the whole day. It’s a song that starts playing and every one stands up and starts doing the sekele . A very rude but truthful song that he raps to what ever he wants to say and gets away with it.

The Interlude (WW1)

Here we go again

March! March 1 march 1

Into some village

Where everything is crushed

The pain in my feet

The water in my socks

All I'm waiting for

Is the morning cocks

The morning arrives

We pass houses with women and children inside

The look at us as if we are so strange

But what can I say we live in a cage

My friend and I go into a house

A grandma and grandpa welcome us

We go in side and just walk pass

I take my shoes and socks off

Trench foot they say

They look like if flesh

Just faded away

“My poor thing “she says

And bandages my legs

With oil and water

I feel like such an egg

She says she has two sons

Like my friend and I

She shows me upstairs

And says the woman is mine

Packages are delivered  

Which means someone is dead

Or just injured

Maybe that the one instead

She acts like a mother to us

We act like her sons

Like family

We complete the uncompleted ones

She tells us stories about her sons

Her husband agrees

We think about them

Like the forgotten ones

New recruits arrive

Were not the new ones now

And when we look at them

They take a bowl

We do drills again

2 hours a day

We become stronger

In the ground as we lay

I get 2 new chevrons

My friend becomes an officer

We still stay close

And make each other stronger

A month goes by

We finally move on

And I promise my new mother

Than I would keep my feet strong

She gives me food

And a kiss on my cheek

We are surrounded by new soldiers

They  are just full of defeat

We just sit there and smile
