Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I’m starvin’, darlin’
– Ngiyalamba, sithandwa
Let me put my lips to something
– Ngivumele ngibeke izindebe zami kokuthile
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
– Ngivumele ngigoqe amazinyo ami emhlabeni wonke
Start carvin’, darlin’
– Start ucarvin, darlin
I wanna smell the dinner cooking
– Ngifuna ukuhogela ukupheka isidlo sakusihlwa
I wanna feel the edges start to burn
– Ngifuna ukuzwa ukuthi imiphetho iqala ukushisa
Honey I, wanna race you to the table
– Uju mina, ngifuna ukukugijimela etafuleni
If you hesitate, the gettin’ is gone
– Uma unqikaza, i-gettin ‘ ayisekho
I won’t lie, if there’s something to be gained
– Ngeke ngiqambe amanga, uma kukhona okuzuzwayo
There’s money to be made, whatever’s still to come
– Kunemali okumelwe yenziwe, noma yini esazofika
Get some
– Thola ezinye
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
– Khuphuka isitebhisi lapho kufika uzamcolo
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
– Phonsa intambo eyanele kuze kube yilapho imilenze isishintshile
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
– Izindlela ezintsha eziyisikhombisa ongadla ngazo amazinyane akho
Come and get some
– Woza uzothola ezinye
Skinning the children for a war drum
– Ukususa izingane ukuze zithole isigubhu sempi
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
– Ukubeka ukudla etafuleni ukuthengisa amabhomu nezibhamu
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young
– Kuyashesha futhi kulula ukudla amazinyane akho
You can’t buy this fineness
– Awukwazi ukuthenga lokhu ubuhle
Let me see the heat get to you
– Ake ngibone ukushisa kuwe
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
– Ake ngibuke ukugqoka kuqala ukukhumula
It’s a kindness, highness
– Umusa, mhlonishwa
Crumbs enough for everyone
– Imvuthuluka ngokwanele kuwo wonke umuntu
Old and young are welcome to the meal
– Abadala nabancane bayamukelwa esidlweni
Honey I’m, makin’ sure the table’s made
– Honey I ‘ m, siseka ukuthi itafula lenziwe
We can celebrate, the good that we’ve done
– Singagubha, okuhle esikwenzile
I won’t lie, if there’s something still to take
– Ngeke ngiqambe amanga, uma kukhona okusamele ngikuthathe
There is ground to break, whatever’s still to come
– Kunesizathu sokwephula, noma yini esazofika
Get some
– Thola ezinye
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
– Khuphuka isitebhisi lapho kufika uzamcolo
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
– Phonsa intambo eyanele kuze kube yilapho imilenze isishintshile
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
– Izindlela ezintsha eziyisikhombisa ongadla ngazo amazinyane akho
Come and get some
– Woza uzothola ezinye
Skinning the children for a war drum
– Ukususa izingane ukuze zithole isigubhu sempi
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
– Ukubeka ukudla etafuleni ukuthengisa amabhomu nezibhamu
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young
– Kuyashesha futhi kulula ukudla amazinyane akho
