The words of Thuma Mina come from the vocabulary of the Xhosa tribe. Pronounced too-ma mee-na it means send me, Lord, while Roma nna (linger on the n sound) means lead me, Lord. This song works well performed simply and unaccompanied (experiment with different dynamics), but in verses three and four you might like to try adding a solo descant voice over the top, either using the notes suggested or improvising your own.
