Quite a White Ou – A Taxijam

So we tweaked things a bit with our latest Taxijam – The Umlungu from Cape Town – Quite A White Ou jumped into the taxi to give us a little taste of his jump an jive…

We even had Mr African Dope himself  – Fletcher in the front seat running the “Taxijam Sound System”

The breakout track from the freshest crazy Xhosa white boy in eMzantsi (South Africa), ndingumlungu means “Im a white ou”.

The track’s lyrics and translations can be learnt in the “Learn the Lyrics” video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogoLeUj2Y2U)

Or the lyrics can be found below:

INTRO:  Mamelani eh eh mamelani eh eh  x 2  – Listen y’all!

 CHORUS:

Ndisafunda isiXhosa                                    (Im still learning Xhosa)

Ndithetha kancinci.                                      (I speak a little only)

So Khawuzekelele                                       (So Please talk slowly)

xa uthetha nami                                           (when you speak with me)  X 2

VERSE 1:

Ndithetha kancinci kuba ndingumlungu*
I talk a little xhosa because I’m a white ou.

Ngikhuluma kancane kuba ndingumlungu
I talk a little zulu because I’m a white ou.

Andikwazi ukujiva kuba ndingumlungu
I don’t know how to dance because I’m a white ou.

Andikwazi ukucula kuba ndingumlungu
I don’t know how to sing because I’m a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 2:

Andithathi iteksi x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I don’t take taxis because I’m a white ou.

Ndiqhuba Mercedes x2 kuba ndingumlungu
I drive a Mercedes because I’m a white ou.

Andikwazi ukushela kuba ndingumlungu
I don’t pick up girls because I’m a white ou.

Ndithanda ukukempa kuba ndingumlungu
I love to camp because I’m a white ou.

Ndinxiba ishortsi kuba ndingumlungu
I wear shorts because I’m a white ou.

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 3:

[Andiqondi (I don’t understand), andikuva (I don’t get you) x3, eh, andiqondi]  x 2.

VERSE 4:

Cool and Nice                                    Hot and Spice

Like vanilla ice                                    like pap n rice

You know I’m down,                        Come get down

Umlungu waseCape town                with ingamla yaseCape Town

(White guy from Cape Town)        (with the Whitey from Cape Town)

Hayi bo!!                                                Hayi bo!!                                                X 2:
