Rhythms of Kadodi and the ritual chorus
That elders and novices sing, that at last!
Vigorous with ecstacy;
With dances that are glorious,
That refine courage
As the Umusinde is led away to skin.
By the sharp blade edge,
He’s a man, he’s born;
And the knife is never blunt
At elevating men from boys,
And the knife is never blunt
At satisfying the glory of a man unto a boy.
