Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
My hair is high, coke is cheap
– Izinwele zami ziphakeme, i-coke ishibhile
It’s a great time to be alive
– Yisikhathi esihle sokuphila
Studies are now saying that cigarettes are recommended and women belong in the kitchen
– Ucwaningo manje luthi kunconywa ugwayi futhi abesifazane bangabasekhishini
We’d go to church on a Sunday, wake up on Monday
– Sasiya esontweni ngesonto, sivuke ngomsombuluko
You’d go to work and I’d stay home and sing and do fun things
– Wawuya emsebenzini futhi ngangihlala ekhaya ngicule futhi ngenze izinto ezijabulisayo
I might get a little slap-slap, but you wouldn’t hit me on Snapchat
– Ngingase ngithole i-slap-slap encane, kodwa ubungeke ungishaye Ku-snapchat
Don’t fuckin’ text me at 2 AM sayin’, “Where you at, at?”, boy, fuck you
– Ungangithumeli umyalezo NGO-2 EKUSENI uthi, ” Uphi, ku -? “, mfana, fuck you
You’d handwrite me letters when you went away
– Ubungangibhalela izincwadi lapho uhamba
You’d make me feel better, you’d know what to say
– Ubungangenza ngizizwe ngingcono, ubungazi ukuthi ngithini
And maybe you’d still be a ho
– Futhi mhlawumbe usengumfana
But if you cheated, hell, I wouldn’t know
– Kodwa uma ubungakhohlisa, ngingeke ngazi
I want you to love me
– Ngifuna ungithande
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
Like it’s 1965
– Njengoba kunjalo ngo 1965
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
Oh-oh
– Oh-oh
I want you to want me
– Ngifuna ungifune
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
I think I’d give up a few rights
– Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizonikela ngamalungelo ambalwa
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
If you would just love me
– Ukube ubungangithanda nje
Like it’s 1965
– Njengoba kunjalo ngo 1965
You’d show up at the door with flowers and ask me
– Uzovela emnyango ngezimbali ungibuze
What I am doing an hour half past three
– Engikwenzayo isigamu sehora ngemva kwezintathu
We’d go to diners and movies and such
– Sasiya ezindaweni zokudlela nasemabhayisikobho nokunye okunjalo
We’d just hold hands and I’d love every touch and
– Sasivele sibambe izandla futhi ngangithanda yonke into futhi
I would be twenty, and it’d be acceptable for you to be forty
– Ngingaba neminyaka engamashumi amabili, futhi kungamukeleka ukuba ube neminyaka engamashumi amane
And that is fucked up, I know
– Futhi lokho kuyisiphukuphuku, ngiyazi
But at least you wouldn’t drive off before I get in the fuckin’ door
– Kodwa okungenani wawungeke uhambe ngemoto ngaphambi kokuba ngingene emnyango
You fuckin’ fuck, fuck you
– Wena fuckin ‘ fuck, fuck wena
I want you to love me
– Ngifuna ungithande
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
Like it’s 1965
– Njengoba kunjalo ngo 1965
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
Oh-oh
– Oh-oh
I want you to want me
– Ngifuna ungifune
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
I think I’d give up a few rights
– Ngicabanga ukuthi ngizonikela ngamalungelo ambalwa
(Hair up high, hair up high, hair up high)
– (Izinwele up high, izinwele up high, izinwele up high)
If you would just love me
– Ukube ubungangithanda nje
Like it’s 1965
– Njengoba kunjalo ngo 1965
I guess Bud Light didn’t exist
– Ngicabanga Ukuthi Ubud Light wayengekho
Fuck, and I guess movies didn’t exist
– Fuck, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi amafilimu ayengekho
Maybe they did, I’m not sure about that timeline, but
– Mhlawumbe bakwenza, angiqiniseki ngaloloineu lwezikhathi, kodwa
I’m sure about that you are mine and I am yours
– Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ungowami futhi ngingowakho
And I’d have nine daughters, and Dirty Dancing wasn’t a thing yet, I love that movie, fuck
– Futhi ngangizoba namadodakazi ayisishiyagalolunye, Futhi Ukudansa Okungcolile kwakungeyona into okwamanje, ngiyayithanda leyo filimu, fuck
But oh, woah, you’d read a lot of books, ah-la
– Kodwa oh, woah, ubungafunda izincwadi eziningi, ah-la
