Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
(One, two, three, four)
– (One, two, three, iii)
The boys are breakin’ bottles out here on the streets of London
– Home ezoyolo amakhwenkwe asebhayi aphuma ezitalatweni Zaselondon
The women here, they look like movie stars
– Abafazi apha, babonakala befana neenkwenkwezi ze-movie
Things I’d do to be back in Oklahoma
– Things i’d do to be back Ukulele
Kickin’ around at a hometown bar
– Khayelitsha home bar
And I’ve dined with kings and queens in the city
– Kwaye ndatya kunye nookumkani kunye nokumkanikazi esixekweni
I filled my plate and then I filled it more
– Ndayigcwalisa ipleyiti yam ndaza ndayizalisa ngakumbi
But my cup’s still kind and stays half-empty
– Kodwa indebe yam isenobubele kwaye ihlala ingenanto
And I’m jealous when all the sweat drops hit the floor
– Kwaye ndinomona xa yonke i sweat ihla phantsi
And I walk the alleys tryna find myself a kick drum
– Kwaye ndihamba ngeendlela ndizama ukufumana igubu lokukhaba
Or a man cover a slow John Prine song
– Okanye umntu ugubungela ingoma ecothayo Ujohn Prine
But in spite of myself, I just can’t stop thinkin’
– Kodwa nangona mna, andinakuyeka ukucinga
That paradise awaits for me back home
– Loo paradesi indilindile ekhaya
Boys are breakin’ bottles down here on the streets of London
– Home ezoyolo amakhwenkwe asebhayi azakube edlalela Elondon
And the women here, they look like movie stars
– Kwaye abafazi apha, babonakala njengeenkwenkwezi ze-movie
Things I’d do to be back in Oklahoma
– Things i’d do to be back Ukulele
Kickin’ around at a hometown bar
– Khayelitsha home bar
