That’s a good question
– Okay okay question
Are people born Wicked?
– Ngaba abantu bazalwa Bengendawo?
Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?
– Okanye ngaba Kukho Ubungendawo obubahlaseleyo?
After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood
– Ngapha koko, Igqwirha Elingendawo lalinobuntwana
She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed Governor of Munchkinland
– Wayenotata, owathi ngendlela, wamiselwa Irhuluneli Yasemunchkinland
I’m off to the assembly, dear
– Ndiya kwindibano, othandekayo
And she had a mother, as so many do
– Kwaye wayenomama, njengabaninzi
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
– Ndikuthiyile ukuhamba kwaye ndikushiye ulilolo
That’s alright, it’s only just one night
– It’s okay, one night away
But know that you’re here in my heart
– Kodwa yazi ukuba ulapha entliziyweni yam
While I’m out of your sight
– While i’m away from your eyes
And, like every family, they had their secrets
– Kwaye, njengayo yonke intsapho, babenemfihlo yabo
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
– Nwaiiza nande-siyavunqela
I’ve got one more night left here in town
– Kukho ubusuku obunye obushiywe edolophini
So have another drink of green elixir
– Ke yiba nesinye isiselo se-elixir eluhlaza
And we’ll have ourselves a little mixer
– Kwaye siya kuba nomxube omncinci
Have another little swallow, little lady
– Yiba nesinye isagwityi esincinci, nkosazana
And follow me down
– Kwaye undilandele phantsi
And one thing led to another, as it so often does
– Kwaye enye into ikhokelele kwenye, njengoko ihlala isenza
No!
– Akunjalo!
But from the moment the witch was born, she was, well, different
– Kodwa ukususela ekuzalweni kwegqwirha, wayehlukile, ehlukile
It’s coming
– Kuza
Now?

It’s a healthy, perfect, lovely, little—
– Ihle, ihle, ihle, ihle, ihle, ihle, ihle—

The baby is unnaturally

Take it away!
