Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Gazing through the window at the world outside
– Ukujonga ngefestile ngaphandle
Wondering will mother earth survive
– Umbuzo ngaba umama womhlaba uya kusinda
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime
– Ngethemba lokuba uluntu luya kuyeka ukumxhaphaza ngaxa lithile
After all, there’s only just the two of us
– Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, zimbini kuphela
And here we are still fighting for our lives
– Kwaye apha sisalwela ubomi bethu
Watching all of history repeat itself time after time
– Ukubukela yonke imbali phinda ixesha emva kwexesha
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
I dream my life away
– Dream my life away ukulele
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
Who dreams of better days
– Ngubani ophupha ngeentsuku ezingcono
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
– Ndibona ilanga litshona njengathi sonke
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
– Ndiyathemba ukuba isifingo siza kuzisa umqondiso
A better place for those who will come after us this time
– Indawo engcono kwabo baya kuza emva kwethu ngeli xesha
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
I dream my life away, oh yeah
– Dream my life away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
Who dreams of better days
– Ngubani ophupha ngeentsuku ezingcono
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
– Amandla akho aphezulu anokuba Nguthixo Okanye Uyesu Krestu
It doesn’t really matter much to me
– Ayinamsebenzi kum kakhulu
Without each other’s help there ain’t no hope for us
– Ngaphandle kokuncedana akukho themba kuthi
I’m living in a dream of fantasy, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
– I’m in a dream, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If only we could all just find serenity
– Ukuba nje sonke sinokufumana ukuzola
It would be nice if we could live as one
– Bekumnandi ukuba singaphila njengaye
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?
– Uya kuphela nini umsindo, intiyo kunye nobundlobongela?
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
I dream my life away, today
– Ndiphupha ubomi bam kude, namhlanje
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
Who dreams of better days, okay
– Ngubani ophupha iintsuku ezingcono, kulungile
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
Who’s searching for the way, today
– Ngubani okhangela indlela, namhlanje
I’m just a dreamer
– Ndiphupha nje
Dreaming my life away, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
– Dream my life away, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
