Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Chewing gum, I know
– Cheeseburger, i know
Don’t have the sour taste that’s in my throat
– Musa ukuba nencasa emuncu leyo emqaleni wam
But the voice in my head says, “Do you have the stones?”
– Kodwa ilizwi entlokweni yam lithi, “ngaba unamatye?””
When you get close enough
– Xa usondela ngokwaneleyo
I’ll let down my braids and you’ll climb up
– Ndiya kunqumla izipikili zam kwaye uya kuphakama
In my room we can do anything you want
– Kwigumbi lokulala singenza nantoni na oyifunayo
Everyone that I’ve slept with
– All i’ve been sleeping
All the pairs of hands, I’m reckless
– Boohle-izibongo zami
If I’m fine without it, why can’t I stop?
– Xa ndingekho, kutheni ndingakwazi ukuyeka?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
– Yonke into endiyifunayo ukukhawulezisa ukubetha kwam
I don’t sleep, don’t dream at all
– Andilali, andilali, andilali
Give ’em nothing personal
– Concede nothing personal
So I’m not affected
– Ngoko andichatshazelwa
I’ve been the ice, I’ve been the flame
– I’ve been ice cream, i’ve been the cream
I’ve been the prize, the ball, the chain
– I’ve been liquidised, liquidised, liquidised
I’ve been the dice, the magic eight
– I’ve been the illusion, illusion iight
So I’m not affected
– Ngoko andichatshazelwa
I’ve been the siren, been the saint
– I’ve been siren, i’ve been siren
I’ve been the fruit that leaves a stain
– I’ve been footwear sweatshirt
I’ve been up on the pedestal
– I’ve been up ukulele pedal
But tonight I just wanna fall
– Kodwa ngokuhlwanje ndifuna nje ukuwa
Tonight I just wanna fall
– Ndifuna nje ukuwa
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
– Ewe, ngokuhlwanje ndifuna nje ukuwa
Mirror, mirror, on his shirt
– Isipili, isipili, kwihempe yakhe
I see a hot mess in an antique skirt
– Ndibona i-hot messenger kwi-skirt endala
But the voice in my head says
– Kodwa ilizwi entlokweni yam lithi
“Don’t let him leave alone”
– “Musa ukumyeka ahambe yedwa”
I become her again (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
– I’ll be her again (Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh)
Visions of a teenage innocence (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
– Ions a a a a a teen teen teen teen teen (yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh)
How’d I shift shape like that?
– Ndingayitshintsha njani ifomathi enjalo?
Everyone that I’ve slept with
– All i’ve been sleeping
All the metal that I’ve messaged
– All iron i’ve messaged
If I’m fine without it, why can’t I stop?
– Xa ndingekho, kutheni ndingakwazi ukuyeka?
Everything I want speeding up my pulse
– Yonke into endiyifunayo ukukhawulezisa ukubetha kwam
I don’t sleep, don’t dream at all
– Andilali, andilali, andilali
Give ’em nothing personal
– Concede nothing personal
So I’m not affected
– Ngoko andichatshazelwa
I’ve been the ice, I’ve been the flame
– I’ve been ice cream, i’ve been the cream
I’ve been the prize, the ball, the chain
– I’ve been liquidised, liquidised, liquidised
I’ve been the dice, the magic eight
– I’ve been the illusion, illusion iight
So I’m not affected
– Ngoko andichatshazelwa
I’ve been the siren, been the saint (Oh, she’s a)
– I’ve been siren, i’ve been siren (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’ve been the fruit that leaves a stain (Shapeshifter)
– I’ve been the fruit sweatshirt (Dark)
I’ve been up on the pedestal
– I’ve been up ukulele pedal
But tonight I just wanna fall
– Kodwa ngokuhlwanje ndifuna nje ukuwa
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
– Ewe, ngokuhlwanje ndifuna nje ukuwa
Yeah, tonight I just wanna fall
– Ewe, ngokuhlwanje ndifuna nje ukuwa
I’ll kick you out and pull you in
– Ndiza kukukhupha ndikukhuphe
Swear that you were just a friend
– Funga ukuba ubungumhlobo nje
And when it’s all over again
– Kwaye xa kuphelile kwakhona
Say I’m not affected
– Yithi andilimazi
I’ll kick you out and pull you in (Ah, she’s a)
– Ndiza kukukhupha kwaye ndikutsale ngaphakathi (Ah, she is a)
Swear that you were just a friend (Shapeshifter)
– Ndifunga ukuba ungumhlobo nje (Shapeshifter)
And when it’s all over again (Ah-ah)
– While i’m away (Ah-ah)
Say I’m not affected (Ah-ah)
– I’m not interested (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ah-ah
– Uah-uah
Ah-ah
– Uah-uah
No, I’m not affected
– No, i’m not intltool
But tonight, I just wanna fall (I’m not affected)
– Kodwa ngokuhlwanje, ndifuna nje ukuwa (andichaphazeli)
