Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
You don’t see stars here, they’re just city lights
– Awuboni nkwenkwezi apha, zizibane zedolophu kuphela
I think back to where you live and how you can see the entire sky
– Ndicinga emva apho uhlala khona kunye nendlela onokubona ngayo isibhakabhaka sonke
It’s occasional, sometimes I’ll see the moon
– Ngamany ‘ amaxesha ndiyayibona inyanga
And I’ll think of you
– Kwaye ndiza kucinga ngawe
My mom will convince me and I’ll get the courage to ask
– Umama uya kundiqinisekisa kwaye ndiza kufumana isibindi sokubuza
We will get coffee in Canton and you’ll nervously laugh
– Uya kufumana ikofu ecanton kwaye uya kuhleka
When we hug, ’cause we don’t hug, we never used to do that
– Xa sanga, ‘ kuba asiwoli, asizange siyenze loo nto
We don’t do that
– Asikwenzi oko
Sometimes I go to sleep
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndilala
And I’m still seventeen
– Kwaye ndineshumi elinesixhenxe
You still live down my street
– Usaphila kwisitalato sam
You’re not mad at me
– Loo you’re not mad loo
And in that dream I will say everything I wanted
– Kwaye kweli phupha ndiza kuthetha yonke into endiyifunayo
That every day after May, I haven’t found what I needed
– Ukuba yonke imihla emva Kukameyi, andikayifumani into endiyifunayo
No one has come close to you
– Akukho mntu uya kusondela kuwe
And I don’t think anyone will
– I think nobody wants
Sometimes I go to sleep
– Ngamanye amaxesha ndilala
And I’m still seventeen
– Kwaye ndineshumi elinesixhenxe
You still live down my street
– Usaphila kwisitalato sam
You’re not mad at me
– Loo you’re not mad loo
I have a feeling you got everything you wanted
– Ndivakalelwa kukuba unakho konke okufunayo
And you’re not wastin’ time stuck here like me
– Kwaye awuchithi ixesha apha njengam
You’re just thinkin’ it’s a small thing that happened
– Ucinga nje ukuba yinto encinci eyenzekileyo
The world ended when it happened to me
– Ihlabathi laphela xa kwenzeka kum
I have a feeling you got everything you wanted
– Ndivakalelwa kukuba unakho konke okufunayo
And you’re not wastin’ time stuck here like me
– Kwaye awuchithi ixesha apha njengam
You’re just thinkin’ it’s a small thing that happened
– Ucinga nje ukuba yinto encinci eyenzekileyo
The world ended when it happened to me
– Ihlabathi laphela xa kwenzeka kum
When it happened to me
– Xa kwenzeka kum
When it happened to me
– Xa kwenzeka kum
– Ndivakalelwa kukuba unakho konke okufunayo
I have a feeling you got everything you wanted
– Kwaye awuchithi ixesha apha njengam
And you’re not wastin’ time stuck here like me
– Ucinga nje ukuba yinto encinci eyenzekileyo
You’re just thinkin’ it’s a small thing that happened
– Ihlabathi laphela xa kwenzeka kum
The world ended when it happened to me
