I only have one Ladysmith Black Mambazo CD, but I just Googled and found out Abadala (aka Everything's So Stupid) is also on the CD called Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Songs of Peace & Love for Kids & Parents Around the World.

The above link is worth a listen/view. However, the search for lyrics to the song reminds me of an old story about the horny rooster and the buzzards.

Here is a link to listen to the song, from the album Joe mentioned.

If there's anyone familiar with Zulu they could attempt to make lyrics for it. However, I don't know a lick of Zulu.

p.s. - this is the humorous song about the conflicts between the young and old...including lines like: You can lead your kid to lunch but you can't make him eat....and When I speak my mind they say 'kid you're too young' but when I am silent they say 'cat got your tongue?'

Can anyone provide the English piece of this song? I wouldn't mind the non-English (Zulu) portions, but only if the translation could be provided also (won't sing something I can't provide the English for!).

Many thanks!
