Selma ta Fukala

I love this song. The music itself could probably give me a headache. However, it is one of the few, "popular" songs that I can actually keep up with and understand. Also, I love the words because they totally describe a party or feast at a homestead. Hopefully, Pedrito won't mind if I share this song. I would buy this album, but I have looked everywhere and have not been able to find it. Yes, I have tried looking for it in Owamboland and Windhoek... Thanks to a friend of mine for helping me with a few of the words and more interesting phrases (We ito lela po...). I don't know if he wants me to say he helped me translate those phrases...

I should probably note that the verb fukala is related to the traditional initiation of girls to become women, the efundula (I believe, correct me if I am wrong). It may also be when the girls were married off. Here are a couple sources 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Ito ligola, ito li	If you are not shouting, you are not eating. According to my friend, "If you are not shouting, you are not eating. Its one of these phrases only used during weddings in Owamboland which would mean that only those who dance and shout will be given food".
We ito lela po (in the background)	My friend translated it as, "Here they are actually swearing, but it is accepted during celebration. It means you are luck to find a new "penis" if it is a woman or "vagina" if is a man who is getting married."
