Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
I walked across an empty land
– Ndahamba ngaphaya kwelizwe elingenanto
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
– Ndayazi indlela enjengomva wesandla sam
I felt the earth beneath my feet
– Ndeva umhlaba ngaphantsi kweenyawo zam
Sat by the river and it made me complete
– Ndahlala ngasemlanjeni kwaye yandenza ndaphelela
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
– Owu, into elula, uye phi?
I’m gettin’ old, and I need something to rely on
– Ndiza ubudala, kwaye ndifuna ukufumana umntu othile ukuze ndonwabe
So, tell me when you’re gonna let me in
– Ndixelele xa ungena
I’m gettin’ tired, and I need somewhere to begin
– Ndidiniwe, ndifuna indawo yokuqalisa
I came across a fallen tree
– Ndadibana nomthi omdaka
I felt the branches of it looking at me
– Ndeva amasebe awo endijongile
Is this the place we used to love?
– Ngaba le yindawo esasihlala siyithanda?
Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?
– Ngaba le yindawo endiyiphuphayo?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
– Owu, into elula, uye phi?
I’m gettin’ old, and I need something to rely on
– Ndiza ubudala, kwaye ndifuna ukufumana umntu othile ukuze ndonwabe
So, tell me when you’re gonna let me in
– Ndixelele xa ungena
I’m gettin’ tired, and I need somewhere to begin
– Ndidiniwe, ndifuna indawo yokuqalisa
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
– Kwaye ukuba unomzuzu, kutheni ungahambi
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
– Thetha ngayo kwindawo esiyaziyo kuphela?
This could be the end of everything
– Oku kunokuba sisiphelo sayo yonke into
So, why don’t we go
– Ngoko kutheni singayi
Somewhere only we know?
– Kwindawo ethile kuphela esaziyo?
Somewhere only we know
– Kwindawo ethile kuphela esaziyo
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
– Owu, into elula, uye phi?
I’m getting old, and I need something to rely on
– Ndikhulile, kwaye ndifuna into yokuthembela
So, tell me when you’re gonna let me in
– Ndixelele xa ungena
I’m getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
– Ndidiniwe, ndifuna indawo yokuqalisa
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
– Kwaye ukuba unomzuzu, kutheni ungahambi
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
– Thetha ngayo kwindawo esiyaziyo kuphela?
This could be the end of everything
– Oku kunokuba sisiphelo sayo yonke into
So, why don’t we go?
– Ngoko kutheni singayi?
So, why don’t we go?
– Ngoko kutheni singayi?
Ooh, hey, hey
– Oooh, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh
– Oh-oh-oh
This could be the end of everything
– Oku kunokuba sisiphelo sayo yonke into
So, why don’t we go somewhere only we know?
– Ngoko kutheni singayi kwindawo ethile esiyaziyo?
Somewhere only we know
– Kwindawo ethile kuphela esaziyo
Somewhere only we know
– Kwindawo ethile kuphela esaziyo
