Tankwa Town
Oliver Koletzki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A mi gueirre ber a bor!
Dhill'ki doyya khoynnã koda,
Dhill′ki doyya khoynnã.
A mi khoy ikke karone munntu,
Ke morika po desu oaynna.
Tu var; dhill'ki doyya khoynnã,
Dhill'ki doyya khoynnã.
The lyrics to Oliver Koletzki's "Tankwa Town" are in a language that is not immediately recognizable to most listeners. The language is actually Xhosa, a Bantu language spoken in South Africa. The first two lines of the song "Ardd guilli moyare pah′gellam presse, A mi gueirre ber a bor!" roughly translates to "Let's all gather together to celebrate, to sing and to dance!" The next two lines "Dhill'ki doyya khoynnã koda, Dhill′ki doyya khoynnã" are more difficult to translate because they appear to be made up of Xhosa-sounding syllables but do not make sense. Some speculate that they could be a reference to traditional Xhosa phonetics used in their music.
The next lines of the song "A mi khoy ikke karone munntu, Ke morika po desu oaynna" translate to "Let's sing for the people, for those that have passed and for those that are here". The final lines of the song "Tu var; dhill'ki doyya khoynnã, Dek koda, Dhill'ki doyya khoynnã" appear to repeat the same made-up Xhosa-sounding syllables as before. The overall mood of the song seems to be celebratory and focused on coming together through music and dance.

The language is Bengali. These lines originated from the Bengali Bauls who are an ancient group of wandering minstrels from Bengal, who believe in simplicity in life and love and use spiritual music to spread this message.
The starting line: Pagli maa-er pagla desh, ami ghure berabo” (In this mad land of my mad mother, I’ll wander about).
2nd Line: “Dil ki doya hoy na re khuda dil ki doya hoy na” (O Lord do you have mercy in your heart)
Last line: “Ami oi karo ne bondhu ke mor kobore shoyana” (For that reason I don’t lay my friend in the grave)

@subhumanstudios
I think the Baul lyrcis loosely translates into this:
'Paagli Maayer Paagla Deshe, (In my Crazy Mother's crazy country (paagladesh pun on bangladesh))
Aami Ghure Bedabo, (I keep roaming around)
Dil ki doya hoye na re Khoda? (Dont you have mercy Allah (Persian version- Khuda))
Dil ki doya hoye na?' (Dont you have mercy)
'Ami oi karone bondhuke mori (That's the real reason, I dont let my friend)
kobore suayna (anywhere near my grave)
Tomar dil ki doya hoye na re Khoda? (Dont you have mercy Allah)
Dil ki doya hoye na?'' (Dont you have mercy)
Enjoy😁
