Momma, I’m missing home
– Mama, ndiyalahleka ekhaya
And California’s getting colder
– California ukulele
And colder, and colder
– Kwaye kuyabanda, kwaye kuyabanda
I miss you
– Ndiya miss you
Momma, I’m getting old
– Mama weer all crazee now
Does that mean you’re getting older?
– Ngaba oku kuthetha ukuba ukhula?
And older, and older
– Kwaye umdala, kwaye umdala
I miss you
– Ndiya miss you
Momma, don’t you know
– Mama, mama don’t look
There’s nothing to be sorry about?
– Akukho nto yokuzisola ngayo?
I’m so proud of all you’ve done
– Ndinebhongo ngayo yonke into oyenzileyo
Take me down your old street
– Ndikhulule kwisitalato sakho esidala
Tell me your memories of when you were young and when you fell in love
– Ndixelele ngamava akho xa wawusemncinci kwaye xa uthandana
Drive me through the country
– Ndiqhube kweli lizwe
Tell me your story and you can play all of your favorite songs
– Ndixelele ibali lakho kwaye ungadlala zonke iingoma zakho ozithandayo
‘Cause I’m gonna need this
– Cause i’ll need it
When I’m holding pictures of you and that’s all that I’ve got left
– Xa ndibambe imifanekiso yakho kwaye yiyo yonke into endiyishiye
All that I’ve got left
– All i’ve been away
All that I’ve got left
– All i’ve been away
Lately, it’s getting hard
– Mva nje kunzima
I’ve started looking like my father
– Ndaqala ukufana notata wam
And it makes me cry a little bit
– Kwaye kundenza ndikhale kancinci
‘Cause he really should’ve made it big
– Kuba ibifanele ukuba ibikhulu kakhulu
‘Cause, damn, he’s good at everything
– Damn, it’s okay, it’s okay to everything
And everything I am’s because of you
– Kwaye yonke into endiyiyo ngenxa yakho
I’m a man because of you
– Ndiyindoda ngenxa yakho
Take me down your old street
– Ndikhulule kwisitalato sakho esidala
Tell me your memories of when you were young and when you fell in love
– Ndixelele ngamava akho xa wawusemncinci kwaye xa uthandana
Drive me through the country
– Ndiqhube kweli lizwe
Tell me your story and you can play all of your favorite songs
– Ndixelele ibali lakho kwaye ungadlala zonke iingoma zakho ozithandayo
‘Cause I’m gonna need this
– Cause i’ll need it
When I’m holding pictures of you and that’s all that I’ve got left
– Xa ndibambe imifanekiso yakho kwaye yiyo yonke into endiyishiye
All that I’ve got left
– All i’ve been away
All that I’ve got left
– All i’ve been away
All that I’ve got left
– All i’ve been away
(Oh)
– (Owu)
