Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
In every book in the house, notes from you fall out
– Kuyo yonke incwadi endlwini, amanqaku avela kuwe ayawa
All the love that came my way, I found a way to push away
– Lonke uthando oluye lwafika indlela yam, ndafumana indlela yokutyhala
I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
– Andisenaso isizathu sokwesaba kula mabini amakhwenkwe
I don’t wanna run from love like I had before
– Andiluthandi uthando ebendinalo ngaphambili
And on the way to couples therapy, you put your headphones in
– Kwaye kwindlela eya kunyango lwezibini, ubeke ii-headphones zakho
So you didn’t have to talk to me
– Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ngathi ukuthetha kum
Listening to our own demos on the ride home
– Ukuphulaphula iidemos zethu ekukhweleni ekhaya
You have a bigger ego than you think you do
– Une ego enkulu kunokuba ucinga ukuba wenza
Slide down in my seat so as not to threaten you
– Hlalani phantsi esihlalweni sam ukuze ningasongeli
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube njalo, makube sekhaya
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
– Ukulala kwaye ungajongi ifowuni yethu
‘Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it constantly
– Kuba ndiyazi indlela yokuwa eluthandweni, ndiyenza rhoqo
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
– Ndiyamthanda wonke umntu endidibana naye imizuzu elishumi ubuncinci
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
– Emva koko kuza umsebenzi, ingqumbo nobuhlungu
Picking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt
– Picking into your dumb band t-shirt
I always thought I was nice, I thought I was kind
– Ndandisoloko ndicinga ukuba ndihle, ndicinga ukuba ndihle
‘Til I tried to do something that was almost real life
– Ndade ndazama ukwenza into ephantse ibe bubomi bokwenene
It’s not like what I’ve seen in TV shows
– Ayifani nento endiyibonileyo KUMABONAKUDE
It’s not like what I’ve read in books
– Ayikho into endandiyifunda ezincwadini zam
It’s so much harder than it looks
– Kunzima kakhulu kunokuba kubonakala
And there isn’t much applause
– Kwaye akukho ncoma kakhulu
If it required practice and dedication, I just got bored
– Ukuba kufuneka ukuziqhelanisa kunye nokuzinikela, ndikruqukile
We discussed something called compromise
– Saxoxa ngento ebizwa ngokuba kukulalanisa
A brand new concept that I never tried
– Brand new concept i’ve never seen bambi
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube njalo, makube sekhaya
Falling asleep and not looking at our phone
– Ukulala kwaye ungajongi ifowuni yethu
‘Cause I know how to fall in love, I do it easily
– Kuba ndiyazi indlela yokuthandana, ndiyakwenza ngokulula
I fall in love with everyone I meet for ten minutes at least
– Ndiyamthanda wonke umntu endidibana naye imizuzu elishumi ubuncinci
Then comes the work, the resentments, and the hurt
– Emva koko kuza umsebenzi, ingqumbo nobuhlungu
Picking at your haircut and that stupid band T-shirt, hmm
– Picking in your haircut sweatshirt that idiot band t-shirt, hmm
Breaking my bones, getting four out of five
– Ndophule amathambo am, ndifumana isine kwabahlanu
Listening to a song by The 1975
– 1975 mafikizolo ndihamba nawe song
I thought, ‘Fuck it, I might as well give music by men a try’
– Ndacinga, ‘fuck it, mhlawumbi nam ukunika umculo ngamadoda ukuzama’
Let there be love, let there be light
– Makubekho uthando, makubekho ukukhanya
Let there be a quiet day and an easy night
– Makubekho imini ezolileyo nobusuku obulula
Let me put out a record and have it not ruin my life
– Makhe ndibhale ingxelo kwaye ungonakalisi ubomi bam
Let it be us, let it be home
– Makube njalo, makube sekhaya
Let it not be a spotlight standing alone
– Makungabi ngumbono omuhle yedwa
Running back to the only love I could ever control
– Ukubuyela kuthando kuphela endinako ukululawula
