The "Let's Talk" song and music video were performed by Ms Yvonne Chaka Chaka and DJ Reason in support of the National Department of Health (NDoH) National Family Planning Campaign. The development of the "Let's Talk" song and the music video was supported by the Reducing Maternal and Child Mortality through Strengthening Primary Health Care in South Africa (RMCH) Programme. RMCH is committed to helping reduce the high number of avoidable maternal and child deaths in the country by working in partnership with the NDoH to strengthen the primary health care system. The RMCH programme is implemented by the GRM Futures Group partnership (together with Health Systems Trust, Save the Children South Africa and Social Development Direct), with funding from the UK Government. "LET'S TALK" Lyrics Yvonne Chaka Chaka, featuring Reason They say it takes a village to raise a child. Considering the circumstance it seems the time is now. Our daughter's and sisters have been left in the wild, To become women in a village that didn't raise the mall this time... Have you had a talk Lalela bo 'we must talk, lets talk Bazali, bo thisha, bahlengikazi Nani zingane Masikhulumeni ngalendaba Yothando nocansi I never want you To tell me I never told mntanami Never want you to say We never talked I can offer you advice But I can never decide for you So let talk about the facts of life Chorus Sengathi kukhona okushaya amanzi Kukhona okushaya amanzibo Zingane hlonami nge mfundo (mychoice) Kukhona okushaya amanzi Kukhona okushaya amanzibo' Qhaphelani mantombazane (my right) Sengathi kukhona ukushaya amanzi Kukhona ukusha amanzibo Bazali khuzani izingane (our responsibility) Kukhona okushaya amanzi Kukhona okushaya amanzibo Everybody let's talk (ngothando nocansi lwezingane) Bridge Zakhulelwa izingane sikhona Sisaba ukuxoxa indaba Sizani mphakathi wonke Sixazulule loludaba...... Khulumani bazali Khulumani zinkokheli Nani bahlengikazi Sifunde ukuhlela umndeni Zaphela... ..Izingane Zakhulelwa .... Izingane Qhapelani bantabami Ngendba yothando nocanci I promise to lead and guide you I promise to tell you the truth Never take things for granted Your time to be a mama will come Rap Let me start by talking to my sister Hanging out with the ballers (slang for well paid man) All because he's got cars and gives gifts There is more to who you are than just this I mean I look at my little sister and just think As a kid, having a kid would stress us I advise her to live more and riskless And keep away from being young and restless Future queen you are a princess Take your time before you find a prince Become a better you and not a mistress Trust its better to be a mom when you are a mrs And to all you gentlemen out there All you sugar daddies and my peers Every girls' future is in your hands So please press rewind and listen what the songs says. -We must talk about it/ My sister let's talk about it/ Magriza let's talk about it/ Timer! Bhutiza let's talk about it/ My sister let's talk about it/ Miza,thiza let's talk about it/ We must talk about it/ We must talk about it/ English translation of the Zulu Our kids fall pregnant While we are scared to talk Can the whole community help solve this problem Parents let's talk Our leaders let's talk Our health care workers Let's talk about sex and love and the consequence there of Lets talk about family planning Our children are just fading Our children are falling pregnant My children please be careful Let's talk about sex and love and the consequence there of Ukhon'okushayamanzi (this is a Zulu expression meaning "there's something fishy" or "things are not straight, something is up". We usually say this when people are beating about the bush or not tackling a problem head on) Kukhon' okushayamanzi bo Zingane hlomani ngemfundo (children arm yourselves with education) (My choice) Kukhon'okushayamanzi Kukhon' okushayamanzi bo Qaphelani mantombazane (girls be careful / watch out) (My right) Kukhon'okushayamanzi Kukhon'okushayamanzibo Bazali khuzani izingane (parents reprimand the children) (Our responsibility) Kukhon' okushayamanzi Kukhon' okushayamanzi bo Everybody let's talk Ngendaba yocansi (about this love and sex issue)
