Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
One, two
– Inye, zimbini
It’s been a couple months
– Unelungelo lokwenza oko iinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlulileyo
That’s just about enough time
– Kwanele ixesha
For me to stop crying when I look at all the pictures
– Ndiyeke ukukhala xa ndijonga yonke imifanekiso
Now I kinda smile, I haven’t felt that in a while
– Ngoku ndincuma kancinci, andikhange ndicinge njalo okomzuzwana
It’s late, I hear the door
– Mva mva mva mva mva mva mva mva mva
Bell ringing, and it’s pouring
– Inginginging and and and and and and and and and, and and and and and and and
I open up that door, see your brown eyes at the entrance
– Ndivula umnyango, jonga amehlo akho amdaka ekungeneni
You just wanna talk, and I can’t turn away a wet dog
– Ufuna nje ukuthetha, kwaye andinakukhupha inja emanzi
But please, don’t ruin this for me
– Kodwa nceda, ungonakalisi oku kum
Please, don’t make it harder than it already is
– Nceda, musa ukwenza kube nzima ngakumbi kunangaphambili
I’m trying to get over this
– Ndizama ukudlula oku
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Akwaba ubungandikhumbula
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa namhlanje ukuba wonakalise izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– Ndifuna ukukubeka kwixesha elidlulileyo ngenxa yokuba ndinxunguphele
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungandivumeli ukuba ndiyenze loo nto, kuba ngobu busuku
You’re all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
– Unxilile ekhitshini lam, ujijekile kwindawo yomntwana ongekazalwa
Too busy playing the victim to be listening to me when I say
– Uxakeke kakhulu udlala ixhoba ukuba undimamele xa ndisithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Akwaba ubungandikhumbula”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– Into my memories, into my memories
Now I can’t say, “Goodbye”
– I can’t say “Goodbye”sweatshirt
If you’ll stay here the whole night
– Ukuba uhlala apha ubusuku bonke
You see, it’s hard to find an end to something that you keep beginning
– Uyabona, kunzima ukufumana isiphelo sento oqhubeka uyiqala
Over, and over again
– Phinda-phinda
I promise that the ending always stays the same
– Ndiyathembisa ukuba isiphelo sihlala sifana
So there’s no good reason in make-believing
– Ngoko akukho sizathu esilungileyo sokungathembeki
That we could ever exist again
– Ukuba singaze siphinde sibekho
I can’t be your friend, can’t be your lover
– Andinakuba ngumhlobo wakho, andinakuba ngumhlobo wakho
Can’t be the reason we hold back each other from falling in love
– Mhlawumbi isizathu sokuba singafuni ukuthandana
With somebody other than me
– Omnye umntu ngaphandle kwam
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Akwaba ubungandikhumbula
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa namhlanje ukuba wonakalise izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– Ndifuna ukukubeka kwixesha elidlulileyo ngenxa yokuba ndinxunguphele
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungandivumeli ukuba ndiyenze loo nto, kuba ngobu busuku
You’re all drunk in my kitchen, curled in the fetal position
– Unxilile ekhitshini lam, ujijekile kwindawo yomntwana ongekazalwa

– Uxakeke kakhulu udlala ixhoba ukuba undimamele xa ndisithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Akwaba ubungandikhumbula”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– Into my memories, into my memories
Since you came
– Ukususela ekuzeni kwakho
I guess I’ll let you stay
– Ndicinga ukuba ndiza kukuvumela ukuba uhlale
For as long as it takes
– Njengoko ixesha elide njengoko ufuna
To grab your books and your coat and that one good cologne
– Ukubamba iincwadi zakho kunye nedyasi yakho kwaye enye cologne elungileyo
That you bought when we were fighting
– Into oyithengileyo xa sisilwa
‘Cause it’s still on my clothes, everything that I own
– Kuba kusekho impahla yam, yonke into endinayo
And it makes me feel like dying
– Undenza ndizive ndifile
I was barely just surviving
– Ndandisinda nje apha
I wish that you would stay in my memories
– Akwaba ubungandikhumbula
But you show up today just to ruin things
– Kodwa ubonisa namhlanje ukuba wonakalise izinto
I wanna put you in the past ’cause I’m traumatized
– Ndifuna ukukubeka kwixesha elidlulileyo ngenxa yokuba ndinxunguphele
But you’re not letting me do that, ’cause tonight
– Kodwa awungandivumeli ukuba ndiyenze loo nto, kuba ngobu busuku

– Uxakeke kakhulu udlala ixhoba ukuba undimamele xa ndisithi
“I wish that you would stay in my memories”
– “Akwaba ubungandikhumbula”
In my memories, stay in my memories
– Into my memories, into my memories
