And if you want to sub a poem in another language, feel free, but yes, please give us translations... as i will have no clue what the poem means otherwise!

Fbi- did you learn Swahili cause of Nicole, and The Translator? Laughing

Thats what they were speaking in it right?

Oh... and to those of you who have submitted one, if you wish to submit more than one, please do!

YES! All 17 verses!

I didn't realise that there were that many...

Was the one line by itself counted as a verse?

*Is just curios, and too lazy to go back and count it...*

Well no, if the line by itself was counted by a verse there'd be 18 :O

Shocked

She was from a made up region of Africa called Matobo. She was from South Africa though, where the bantu language of choice is Zulu. Swahili is spoken primarily in east Africa.

Fainted in shock I think.
