LISTEN: We translated your favourite songs into Afrikaans!
Have you ever wondered what 'Despacito' would sound like in Afrikaans?
The Drive with Rob and Roz team always asks the hard questions and tries their best to find the answers.
Should you refrigerate tomato sauce?
How do you tell your coworker you don't want to be friends?
What do you say when you sing along to songs in a different language?
VIDEO: Children are learning a new version of the alphabet song!
The team put themselves to the task of taking some iconic songs and translating them for YOU.
Together, they translated Brenda Fassie and the Spanish hit 'Despacito' into Afrikaans, and 'Toe Vind Ek Jou' into SiPhedi.
Now you can sing along to these songs while understanding the lyrics!
LISTEN: How do you tell a coworker you don't want to be friends?
Here are the three songs as performed by The Drive with Rob and Roz team:
Brenda Fassie - Vuli Ndlela
"Bengingazi ngiyombon' umakoti
Wonyana wam
Eh ujongile this time
MaRadebe sus' ezoSpec's
Uze emshadweni siyashadisa namhlanje
Bebesithi unyana wam ulisoka
Bebesithi angeke ashade
Vul' indlela
Vul' indlela weMaMgobhozi
He unyana wam
Helele uyashada namhlanje
Vul'indlela wena MaNyauza
Suk'ba nomona
Unyana wami uthathile".
Rozanne's Version:
Luis Fonsi - Despacito
"Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)
(Sube, sube) Oh".
Rob's Version:
Francois van Coke ft. Karen Zoid - 'Toe Vind Ek Jou'
"Hey, my sweet
Hey, my baby
Jy's my toevlug
Wil jou nooit laat huil nie
Jy's my lied
Jy's my wysie
Ons het 'n hond
Ons het 'n huisie".
Joe's Version:
