Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Ever since I was a little girl
– Ukususela ekubeni ndiyintombazana
I only wanted to be sexy
– Ndifuna nje ukuba sexy
Nine years old, tryna wax my legs with tape
– Iminyaka esithoba ubudala, tryna wax imilenze yam ngeteyiphu
There were some things only I can see
– Ndandibona nje izinto ezimbalwa
A little spot that can’t be lifted
– Indawo encinci engenakuphakanyiswa
On my left hand, dig in like a car key
– Kwisandla sam sasekhohlo, dig ngaphakathi njengesitshixo semoto
So you see, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Uyabona, ndinexesha elibi
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Emva kwexesha, andinalo uvelwano lwakho
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke iintlungu zibetha kwaye inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Kwaye ke kakhulu ukuba unyango
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Owu, mntwana, mamela isisombululo sam
And take a sexy picture
– Kwaye thatha umfanekiso othandekayo
Take a sexy picture of me
– Look into my sexy photo
And make me look sixteen
– Kwaye undenze ndijonge ishumi elinesithandathu
Listen
– Mamela
I did the butcher, I did the baker
– Ndenzel’, ndenzel ‘ idlozi
I did the home and the family maker
– Ndenza ikhaya kunye nomenzi wosapho
I did school girl fantasies
– Ndenza intombazana yesikolo fantasies
Oh, I did leg things and hand stuff
– Owu, ndenze izinto zomlenze kunye nezinto zesandla
And single woman banter
– Kwaye umfazi ongatshatanga
Now tell me, what was in it for me?
– Ndixelele, yintoni eyayingaphakathi kum?
Oh, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Yes, i’ve been awkward time
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Emva kwexesha, andinalo uvelwano lwakho
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke iintlungu zibetha kwaye inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Kwaye ke kakhulu ukuba unyango
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Owu, mntwana, mamela isisombululo sam
And take a sexy picture
– Kwaye thatha umfanekiso othandekayo
Take a sexy picture of me
– Look into my sexy photo
And make me look fifteen
– Kwaye undenze ndijonge ishumi elinesihlanu
You haven’t looked at me the same
– Awungandijongi ngendlela efanayo
Since I turned twenty-seven
– Ninety-six ninety
Where goes my potential?
– Uya phi amandla am?
Oh, she’s up in Heaven
– Uphakamile Ezulwini
Rest in peace to any chance of me
– Lala ngoxolo tata madiba ulale ngoxolo tata madiba
Dating within the station
– Dating kwisikhululo
Ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ooh-ooh
– Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And no doctor or Pope can grant diagnosis
– Kwaye akukho gqirha Okanye Upopu unokunika ukuxilongwa
I’ve peeled through the forums
– Ndapandula forums
And there’s no cure for old sis
– No healing ukulele
But here’s a message to the party girls
– Kodwa nantsi umyalezo kumantombazana
Dragged out by their ankles
– Erhuqwa ngamaqatha awo
I’m here if you need me, deep in your afters
– If’n ya need me, nzulu emveni kwakho
Oh, I’ve been having a horrible time
– Yes, i’ve been awkward time
Of late, I get none of your sympathy
– Emva kwexesha, andinalo uvelwano lwakho
But all of the pain hits and the fog lifts
– Kodwa zonke iintlungu zibetha kwaye inkungu iyaphakama
And then it’s too much for therapy
– Kwaye ke kakhulu ukuba unyango
Oh, baby, heed my solution
– Owu, mntwana, mamela isisombululo sam
And take a sexy picture
– Kwaye thatha umfanekiso othandekayo
Take a sexy picture
– Thatha umfanekiso sexy
Can’t you see me wither?
– Ungandiboni xa ndinomsindo?
Take a sexy picture of me
– Look into my sexy photo
And make me look fourteen, oh
– Kwaye undenze ndijonge ishumi elinesine, oh
Or like ten, or like five
– Okanye njengeshumi, okanye njengesihlanu
Or like two, like a baby
– Okanye njengababini, njengomntwana
Whoever it is that you’re gonna love
– Ngubani na oya kuthanda
So you’ll be nice to me
– Ngoko uya kuba mnandi kum
