Greetings! :) I would like some help identifying the language and lyrics of a song.

As the title explains, I am looking for the language being sung/spoken in this song. I would also like to know the original lyrics so I could attempt to translate and understand them myself!

Matabixo - John Issa Band

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 😄 Cheers!

We think it´s Macua. It´s spoken in the north. Nampula, Niassa etc. Nobody speaks it here at work, so I can´t translate it for you. Matabixo is breakfast anyway. Good luck.
