There is salt in it,
Gargle it.
Clean your mouth
Spit out the insults with the water!
The abuses you learnt
From your white masters
…
And son of the Bull
When you are completely cured
…
Go to the shrine of your fathers
Prepare a feast,
Give blood to your ancestors
…
Let the elders
Spit blessing on you
Let them intercede for you
…
Beg forgiveness from them
And ask them to give you
A new spear
A new spear with a sharp and hard point
A spear that will crack the rock
…
Ask them to restore your manhood
For I am sick
Of sharing a bed with a woman!
Ask them to forgive
Your past stupidity,
…
May they take away all your shyness
Deceit, childish pride, and sharp tongue!
For when you insulted me,
…
You were insulting your grandfather
And your grandmothers, your father and mother!
…
You were abusing your entire people [blacks]
…
When you have recovered properly
Go to your old mother
And ask for forgiveness from her
Let her spit blessings in your hands.
