And now we’re all here, we’ve moved to New York
– Kwaye ngoku sonke silapha, safudukela Enew York
We’ve found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
– Sifumene indawo yokupaka encinci kufutshane nesikolo esincinci esimnandi
Now I’m looking at houses with four or five floors
– Ngoku ndijonge izindlu ezinemigangatho emine okanye emihlanu
And you’ve found us a brownstone, said “You want it? It’s yours”
– Kwaye usifumene ilitye elibrownstone, utshilo ” ngaba uyayifuna? Yeyakho
So we went ahead and we bought it
– Emva koko sahamba saza sayithenga
Found ourselves a good mortgage
– Sifumene imboleko elungileyo
Billy Cotton got sorted
– Billy Cotton ukelele
All the furniture ordered
– Yonke ifenitshala iyalelwe
I could never afford this
– Andinakuze ndikwazi ukuyithenga le nto
You were pushing it forward
– Wena wawulityhalela phambili
Made me feel a bit awkward
– Undenze ndaziva ndingento yanto
Made me feel a bit awkward
– Undenze ndaziva ndingento yanto
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
– Ndinyuka, ndafaka isitshixo emnyango
And then my phone started ringing so I answered the call
– Kwaye ke ifowuni yam yaqala ukukhala ngoko ndaphendula umnxeba
And they were like “Hey, you’ve got a lead in a play
– Kwaye babenjani ” hey, unalo ukhokelo emdlalweni
You’ve gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May”
– Kufuneka ubuyele Elondon ukuze uziqhelanise Nomeyi”
And then later that evening you said how was my day
– Kwaye emva koko ngobo busuku wathi ibinjani imini yam
I said “I got some good news, I got the lead in a play”
– Ndathi ” ndifumene iindaba ezilungileyo, ndikhokele kumdlalo”
That’s when your demeanour started to change
– Yilapho i-diaper yakho yaqala ukutshintsha
You said that I’d have to audition, I said “You’re deranged”
– Uthe kufuneka ndivavanye, ndathi “you’re unemployed”
And I thought
– Kwaye ndacinga
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
– Ndacinga ukuba kwakuyinto engaqhelekanga (ndafumana into engavamile)
And I thought
– Kwaye ndacinga
I thought that that was quite strange (So very strange)
– I think it’s strange (thethethethe)
But I ignored it
– Kodwa andizange ndiyihoye
Went ahead and I bought it
– Ndahamba ndathenga
Got a flight and I boarded
– Ndifumene inqwelomoya kwaye ndakhwela
I’m on my way
– Ndisendleleni yam
Now I’m in London, I’m on my own
– I’m In london, i’m okay
I’m in a hotel room, I’m on my own
– I’m in a hotel room-kwasizabantu mission
Now I’m in London and I’m all alone
– I’m in london soon, i’m okay
I’m in a hotel room, I’m all on my own
– Ndikwigumbi lehotele, yonke into yeyam
Now I’m a West End Girl
