The knock-knock beetle

So today we have a Xhosa song, Qongqothwane, aka "The click song", though the title means "the knock-knock beetle". I'll come back to that title as I explain this song word by word with the help of a native Xhosa speaker, and finally provide correct spelling and translation – you wouldn't believe the amount of misinformation there is on the internet about this song's meaning. But back to the translations. Now, I have an English and Chinese version. Dating is not easy, because I had to reformulate them because of having blindly trusted an unjustified translation.
  1. The first version in Chinese was done… OMG; so, «sometime between March 10 and April 3 2013», as per the old version of this post, is bullshit, plain and simple; «between 28/3 and 4/4», as this note would have it, is probably based on the position within the translations files, since it's immediately followed by a poem that was started on 4/4, and going back up through the file we find a bunch of stuff and then a 28/3 poem; this position is not really indicative, since the file was only put together way later; what is indicative is that this translation is found in Session 128 from 8/4/13, the previous one dating to 3/4; this version is given as the original, with the lyrics and English literal rendition as Novi, my Zulu consultant who doubled as Xhosa because the two are closely related, concluded they should be; she was rather wrong, but I found out much later; the translations note linked above literally only changes 的->地 in the seleqabele line;
  2. Then «sometime between Jun 4 and Jun 10 2017» I made a first English version, which is the middle version below, from this other translations note, with a bit of extras like the filler text from 1:55-1:56 on 24/3/23 and partly from the note, and «Just passed by a while ago» for the seleqabele line; there is no screenshot evidence for that dating, which is based on assuming that the translations in the note are in chronological order; I then corrected the seleqabele line of that to the form of the middle version below on Jan 23 2018 at 17:06; correspondingly, I also made the Chinese version «它已在快过这条路» at 17:18:30; the notes don't tell me what the rest of the middle version would have been, but I'll assume this was just fixing that one line and leaving the rest as in the old version; talking about the Chinese here; I will check the screenshots eventually;
  3. Then the Quora post happened, and I guess that's what prompted the new updates in the 7/9/18 version, aka middle-2 below, which is what happened in the drafting of the post;
  4. But «it seems I still need to rework these things». I decided to move the analysis to this post on the decipherment blog. Here's the literal translation that follows from that work:

    He's the witchdoctor of the roads
    He's the knock-knock beetle,
    He's the witchdoctor of the roads, he's called
    The knock-knock beetle,
    He's the witchdoctor of the roads, huyya,
    He's the knock-knock beetle,
    He's the witchdoctor of the roads, he's called
    The knock-knock beetle,

    Already he's climbing, he's passing by here, ga'aya,
    He's the knock-knock beetle,
    Already he's climbing, he's passing by here, awu,
    He's the knock-knock beetle
    Already he's climbing, he's passing by here, ga'aya,
    He's the knock-knock beetle,
    Already he's climbing, he's passing by here, mm,
    He's the knock-knock beetle

    «Now that we have a correct translation, time to get to the translations, which I reworked past 23 on 7/9/18 into the final version below», except the final version is from 10/9 apparently, there are two draft saves from that day and one of them has middle-2 and the other has final; actually, the 7/9 version and the 10/9 11:29 version are middle-2, the 10/9 11:32 version is middle-3, and the final version is from 12:13 10/9.
Let's see!
