Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
And the old religion humming in your veins
– Kwaye inkolo yakudala iyancwina emithanjeni yakho
Some animal instinct starting up again
– Isilwanyana siqala kwakhona
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
– Kwaye ndinenxeba eliqinileyo, kunzima nokuphefumla
You wonder why we’re hungry for some kind of release
– Kutheni ndilambe mva nje
So tired of being careful, so tired of being still
– Ndidiniwe kukulumkela, ndidiniwe kukuhlala ndidiniwe
Give me something I can crush, something I can kill
– Ndinike into endinokuyityumza, into endinokuyibulala
A lightning strike, a fallen tree
– Khanyisa, mthi
And I’m afraid, oh, don’t let it find me
– Kwaye ndiyoyika, owu, ungandivumeli ukuba ndifumane
But you can’t outrun yourself, you’ll see
– Awunokwazi yima, uza kubona
And I’m powerless, oh, don’t remind me
– Kwaye andinamandla, owu, ungandikhumbuzi
And it’s the old religion but the urge remains the same
– Chandini chandini kodwa umnqweno uhlala ufana
Freedom from the body, freedom from the pain
– Inkululeko emzimbeni, inkululeko kwiintlungu
And it’s your troubled hero back for season six
– Kwaye liqhawe lakho elikhathazekileyo emva kwexesha lesithandathu
When it’s at its darkest, it’s my favourite bit
– Xa kusemnyama, yeyona nto ndiyithandayo
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
– Kwaye ndinenxeba eliqinileyo, kunzima nokuphefumla
You wonder why we’re hungry for some kind of release
– Kutheni ndilambe mva nje
Watch me crawl on hands and knees
– Ndibukele ndikhasa ezandleni nasemadolweni
And scratch at the door of heaven
– Kwaye ukrwela emnyango wezulu
A lightning strike, a fallen tree
– Khanyisa, mthi
And I’m afraid, oh, don’t let it find me
– Kwaye ndiyoyika, owu, ungandivumeli ukuba ndifumane
But you can’t outrun yourself, you’ll see
– Awunokwazi yima, uza kubona
And I’m powerless, I know, don’t remind me
– Kwaye andinamandla, ndiyazi, musa ukundikhumbuza
And it’s the old religion humming in your veins
– Chandini chandini chandini chandini chandini chandini chandini chandini chandini
Some animal instinct starting up again
– Isilwanyana siqala kwakhona
And I am wound so tightly, I hardly even breathe
– Kwaye ndinenxeba eliqinileyo, kunzima nokuphefumla
You wonder why we’re hungry for some kind of release
– Kutheni ndilambe mva nje
A lightning strike (And it’s the old religion), a fallen tree
– A kombane uqhankqalazo (Kwaye ke endala wecawe), i-emphaya umthi
And I’m afraid, oh, don’t let it find me
– Kwaye ndiyoyika, owu, ungandivumeli ukuba ndifumane
But you can’t outrun (And it’s the old religion) yourself, you’ll see
– Kodwa awukwazi ukuphuma (kwaye inkolo endala) ngokwakho, uya kubona
And I’m powerless, oh, don’t remind me
– Kwaye andinamandla, owu, ungandikhumbuzi
