Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
One, two
– One, ababili
It’s been a couple months
– Izinyanga ezimbalwa
That’s just about enough time
– Lokho nje mayelana nesikhathi esanele
For me to stop crying when I look at all the pictures
– Ukuze ngiyeke ukukhala lapho ngibuka zonke izithombe
Now I kinda smile, I haven’t felt that in a while
– I smile kindly, and i nod
It’s late, I hear the door
– Sekwephuzile, ngizwa umnyango
Bell ringing, and it’s pouring
– Yitha yitha-nadu
I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance
– Ngivula lowomnyango, bheka amehlo akho ansundu emnyango
You just wanna talk, and I can’t turn away a wet dog
– Wena nje wanna ukukhuluma, futhi angikwazi ukuxosha inja ezimanzi
But please, don’t ruin this for me
– Kodwa ngiyacela, musa ukonakalisa lokhu kimi
Please, don’t make it harder than it already is
– Sicela, musa ukwenza kube nzima kunalokho kakade
I’m trying to get over this
– Ngizama ukudlula lokhu
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa up namuhla nje ukonakalisa izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– I wanna put you in esidlule ’cause i’ m traumatized
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungivumeli ukuba ngenze lokho, ngoba kulobubusuku
You’re all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
– Nonke nidakiwe ekhishini lami, nigobile endaweni yombungu
Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
– Umatasa kakhulu edlala isisulu ukuba angilalele lapho ngithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– In izinkumbulo zami, hlala izinkumbulo zami
Now I can’t say, “Goodbye”
– I can ‘t sayin’ Nothin ‘Nothin’
If you’ll stay here the whole night
– Uma uhlala lapha ubusuku bonke
You see, it’s hard to find an end to something that you keep beginning
– Uyabona, kunzima ukuthola ukuphela kwento oqhubeka uqala ngayo
Over, and over again
– Ngokuphindaphindiwe
I promise that the ending always stays the same
– Ngiyathembisa ukuthi isiphetho sihlala sifana ngaso sonke isikhathi
So there’s no good reason in make-believing
– Asikho isizathu esihle sokukholelwa
That we could ever exist again
– Ukuthi singaphinde sibe khona
I can’t be your friend, can’t be your lover
– Angikwazi ukuba ngumngane wakho, angeke ngibe yisithandwa sakho
Can’t be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love
– Angeke sikwazi ukubambana singathandani
With somebody other than me
– Nothile ngaphandle kwami
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa up namuhla nje ukonakalisa izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– I wanna put you in esidlule ’cause i’ m traumatized
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungivumeli ukuba ngenze lokho, ngoba kulobubusuku
You’re all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
– Nonke nidakiwe ekhishini lami, nigobile endaweni yombungu
Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
– Umatasa kakhulu edlala isisulu ukuba angilalele lapho ngithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– In izinkumbulo zami, hlala izinkumbulo zami
Since you came
– Selokhu weza
I guess I’ll let you stay
– I will let u stay
For as long as it takes
– Uma nje kuthatha
To grab your books and your coat and that one good cologne
– Ukuze ngiyothatha izincwadi zakho kanye ijazi lakho nokuthi omunye cologne omuhle
That you bought when we were fighting
– Ukuthi wathenga lapho silwa
‘Cause it’s still on my clothes, everything that I own
– Ngoba kusenezingubo zami, konke enginakho
And it makes me feel like dying
– Kungenza ngizizwe sengathi ngiyafa
I was barely just surviving
– Ngisindile nje kuphela
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa up namuhla nje ukonakalisa izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– I wanna put you in esidlule ’cause i’ m traumatized
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungivumeli ukuba ngenze lokho, ngoba kulobubusuku
You’re all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
– Nonke nidakiwe ekhishini lami, nigobile endaweni yombungu
Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
– Umatasa kakhulu edlala isisulu ukuba angilalele lapho ngithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Ngifisa sengathi ungahlala ezinkumbulweni zami”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– In izinkumbulo zami, hlala izinkumbulo zami
