Guys. I'm from Mozambique we are from the Same Mamassi
Africa My Naija Brothers....
Yaba Buluku in our mother tongue wich is called Shangaan
mean
" It's hitting my clothe/trousers"
It's funny because for men it means something it's hitting
my trousers for being big... Loku ni yi niku yi Yaba Buluku- when i move to the
left and to the right is hitting my Trousers...

"Yaba buluku it's a tsonga language meaning his penis can hit the trouser"

"Well, let me correct you, yaba buluku means "it his the
trousers". Now it's up to the listen to decide what hits the trousers for
they never mention penis in the music 🎶"

" @F Mate It is interesting to notice how you believe
that your explanation of what "Yaba Buluku" means is correct and
Ripfumelo's is not. Unfortunately so, in language some spoken words don't have
direct translation. It's true that "Buluku" means trousers/pants in
English, but what they are saying in the song has nothing to do with trousers.
They referring to their manhood that it hits hard. If you understand Tsonga, in
the original song they saying the women will touch their manhood."

"It's hits the trouser 👖 nice 👌 Amapiano from Moz.. The song will do well in
Sa and Moz because of the common language
shared by the two countries. The comments from Moz got it controversial
but here in SA nothing new on semi explicit songs 🎵 :

"@Mbali D
its heating the pants. Thats why they shaking to the front like that."
-snip-
"Heating" is probably a typo for "hitting".
hokino, 2021
"I
You r reacting to something from Mozambique 😍😍😍
It's a song of Afro Majaha (which means "afro men/young men")
And the song says the d**k smacks the pants and the
challenge is basically doing that move kkk
Older people don't like that song Kkkk for clear reasons 🤣🤣🤣
My grandma already warned us that she doesn't want to ear
this song this December..."
-snip-
This comment is written that way in this discussion thread.
“Kkkk” =”Ha ha ha ha”

Benedito Manhique, 2021
"This a Mozambican song, simple means
"This d**k smashes the pants" the message behind is that the d**k is
big just that, this song is controversial here, is just played in bars only.
There's another one which is in the same level is this, like "Nikombela Ku
loyiwa" which means "neighbor's please bewitch me" like They
are living good life so goes on and on

"Wetin you find go sokoto, me i get am for
Shokoto". Sokoto is a state in Nigeria, Shokoto translates to trousers/pants
in Yoruba language. It's basically wordplay. The whole thing in english means,
"What are you looking for, all the way to Sokoto, I have it in my
trousers".

"The best part of the song is when they
shout
ODOGWU YOU BAD, EFILE BURNA 🔥🔥"

4. Aiyevbosa Osayande, 2021
"Odogwu you bad. E file fun burna
Means burna boy you bad. Give it up for burna
-snip-
Here’s some information about the word “Odogwu”:
from https://www.okayafrica.com/listen-to-burna-boy-new-song-odogwu-meaning/ "Burna Boy shares his first single of the year [2020], "Odogwu."
"The track is the Grammy-nominated artist's first single
since "Money Play," which he released at the end of 2019.
The name of the rhythmic track refers to the title given to
a victorious leader, particularly a man, who is believed to have accomplished
great things in Igbo culture. "When I reach Igboland, them calling me
Odogwu," sings the artist on the chorus.”
-snip-
After the release of that hit song, fans began using "Odogwu" as a nickname for Burna Boy.
This concludes Part II of this pancocojams series.
