Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
– Imicu emehlweni akho eyenza imibala ibe mihle
Stop me and steal my breath
– Ngiyeke futhi ngintshontshe umoya wami
And emeralds from mountains that thrust towards the sky
– Nama emeralds avela ezintabeni ezibheke esibhakabhakeni
Never revealing their depth
– Ungalokothi uveze ukujula kwabo
And tell me that we belong together
– Ngitshele ukuthi sihlangene
Dress it up with the trappings of love
– Gqoka it up nge izingibe uthando
I’ll be captivated, I’ll hang from your lips
– Ngizothinteka, ngizolengiswa ezindebeni zakho
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
– Esikhundleni sokulengiswa okubuhlungu kwenhliziyo okulenga phezulu
I’ll be your cryin’ shoulder
– Ngizoba yihlombe lakho elikhalayo
I’ll be love’s suicide
– Ngizoba ukuzibulala kothando
And I’ll be better when I’m older
– Futhi ngizoba ngcono uma sengikhulile
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life
– Ngizoba umlandeli omkhulu kunabo bonke ekuphileni kwakho
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
– Futhi imvula iyacasuka ophahleni lwethini
As we lie awake in my bed
– Njengoba silele embhedeni wami
And you’re my survival, you’re my living proof
– Futhi usinda, ungubufakazi bami obuphilayo
My love is alive and not dead
– Uthando lwami luyaphila futhi alufile
And tell me that we belong together
– Ngitshele ukuthi sihlangene
Dress it up with the trappings of love
– Gqoka it up nge izingibe uthando
I’ll be captivated, I’ll hang from your lips
– Ngizothinteka, ngizolengiswa ezindebeni zakho
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
– Esikhundleni sokulengiswa okubuhlungu kwenhliziyo okulenga phezulu
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulder
– Futhi ngizoba yihlombe lakho elikhalayo
I’ll be love’s suicide
– Ngizoba ukuzibulala kothando
I’ll be better when I’m older
– Ngizoba ngcono uma sengikhulile
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life
– Ngizoba umlandeli omkhulu kunabo bonke ekuphileni kwakho
And I’ve dropped out, I’ve burned up, I’ve fought my way back from the dead
– Futhi sengiyekile, sengishisiwe, ngiye ngalwa ukuze ngibuyele kwabafileyo
I tuned in, I turned on, remembered the thing that you said
– I tuned in, I turned on, ngakhumbula into oyishilo
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulder
– Futhi ngizoba yihlombe lakho elikhalayo
I’ll be love’s suicide
– Ngizoba ukuzibulala kothando
And I’ll be better when I’m older
– Futhi ngizoba ngcono uma sengikhulile
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life
– Ngizoba umlandeli omkhulu kunabo bonke ekuphileni kwakho
And I’ll be your cryin’ shoulder
– Futhi ngizoba yihlombe lakho elikhalayo
I’ll be love’s suicide
– Ngizoba ukuzibulala kothando
And I’ll be better when I’m older
– Futhi ngizoba ngcono uma sengikhulile
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life
– Ngizoba umlandeli omkhulu kunabo bonke ekuphileni kwakho
The greatest fan of your life
– Umlandeli omkhulu kunabo bonke ekuphileni kwakho
