  Lyrics:
  
  Vul’indlela wemamgobhozi (Open the gates, Miss Gossip)
  
  He unyana wam (My baby boy)
  
  Helele uyashada namhlanje (Is getting married today)
  
  Vul’indlela wela ma ngiyabuza (Open the gates please)
  
  Su'ba nomona (Don’t be jealous)
  
  Unyana wam utshatile (My son has had a good catch)
  
  Bengingazi ngiyombon’umakoti (I never thought I’d see a daughter in law)
  
  Unyana wam eh ujongile this time (My son has been accepted (woman said yes))
  
  Marhadebe, sus'ezoz' specs (MaRhadebe, take of your glasses/spectacles)
  
  Uzemshadweni ngiyashadisa namhlanje (Come to the wedding, I’m taking my son to the altar today)
  
  Bebesithi unyana wam lisoka (People said my son is (someone who doesn’t get women))
  
  Bebesithi angeke ashade vul’indlela (People said he would never get married but open the gates)
