Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
There’s a heat in the pavement, my mercury’s raising
– Kukhona ukushisa emgwaqweni, ukuphakama kwemercury yami
Don’t know if it’s love or if it’s ovulation
– Angazi ukuthi uthando noma ukuthi luyi ovulation
When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail
– Lapho uphethe isando, konke kubukeka njengesipikili
The mist from the fountain is kissing my neck
– Inkungu evela emthonjeni inganga entanyeni yami
The liquid crystal is in my grip
– I crystal ewuketshezi isesibambweni sami
Anyone with a snake tongue, I show ’em the chambers of my heart
– Noma ubani onolimi lwenyoka, ngibabonisa amakamelo enhliziyo yami
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Manje sengiyazi ukuthi awunandaba nothando nothando
But I really do think there could be a connection
– Kodwa ngicabanga ngempela ukuthi kungase kube khona ukuxhumana
I burn and I sing and I scheme and I dance
– Ngiyashisa futhi ngiyacula futhi ngiyaceba futhi ngiyadansa
Some days I’m a woman, some days I’m a man, oh
– Ngezinye izinsuku ngingowesifazane, ngezinye izinsuku ngingumuntu, oh
I might have been born again
– Kungenzeka ukuthi ngazalwa kabusha
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Ngikulungele ukuzizwa sengathi anginazo izimpendulo
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– Kukhona ukuthula ebuhlanya phezu kwamakhanda ethu
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Ake kungithwale o-o-o-on
On
– Ngo
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Today, I’ll go to Canal Street, they’re piercing my ears
– Namuhla, ngizoya Ecanal Street, bangibhoboza izindlebe
I’m making a wish when the needle goes in
– Ngenza isifiso lapho inaliti ingena
Take an aura picture, read it and tell me who I am (Show me who I am)
– Thatha isithombe se-aura, uyifunde bese ungitshela ukuthi ngingubani (Ngibonise ukuthi ngingubani)
Now I know you don’t deal much in love and affection
– Manje sengiyazi ukuthi awunandaba nothando nothando
But I really do think you can make an exception
– Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ungenza okuhlukile
It’s a beautiful life, so I play truant
– Ukuphila okuhle, ngakho ngidlala i-truant
I jerk tears and they pay me to do it, oh
– Ngikhala izinyembezi futhi bangikhokhela ukuba ngikwenze, oh
I might have been born again
– Kungenzeka ukuthi ngazalwa kabusha
I’m ready to feel like I don’t have the answers
– Ngikulungele ukuzizwa sengathi anginazo izimpendulo
There’s peace in the madness over our heads
– Kukhona ukuthula ebuhlanya phezu kwamakhanda ethu
Let it carry me o-o-o-o-on
– Ake kungithwale o-o-o-on
On
– Ngo
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah
– Ah
Ah, ah, ah
– Ah, ah, ah
Ah
– Ah
Let it break me down till I’m just a wreck
– Ake kungiphazamise ngize ngibe yincithakalo nje
Till I’m just a voice living in your head
– Kuze kube yilapho sengimane ngiyizwi elihlala ekhanda lakho
It’s a fucked-up world, been to hell and back
– Izwe elibi, liye esihogweni futhi libuyele emuva
But I’ve sent you a postcard from the edge
– Kodwa ngikuthumelele ikhadi leposi elivela emaphethelweni
The edge
– Umphetho
Mm, oh
– Mm, oh
Oh
– Oh
