Ntyilo Ntyilo is geskryf deur Allan Mzamo Silinga en bekend gemaak deur Miriam Makeba en word hier gesing deur Nellie Prince. Dit is verfilm in Lenasia, tydens 'n musikale uitstappie gelei deur Liela Groenewald. Die trane het geloop na Nellie & Mervin hierdie lied gesing het. -------------------------- Lirieke vertaling -------------------------- I heard a sound from the bush I looked up, I drew near The sound I heard was Ti, li, ti, li, ti, li Ntyilo, Ntyilo, Ntyilo. That melody was beautiful. I heard the voice from the bush I looked up, I drew near The voice said: 'There is trouble in the land.' Tra-la-tra-la Ntyilo, Ntyilo, Ntyilo. That melody was beautiful. The owner of the voice Was dressed in white robes. The owner of the voice Was dressed in red robes. The words were Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la Ntyilo, Ntyilo, Ntyilo. The melody was beautiful.
