Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Sounds like you really could do
– Kuzwakala sengathi ungakwenza ngempela
With a little reminder of who you’re talking to
– Ngesikhumbuzo esincane sokuthi ukhuluma nobani
An honest woman
– Owesifazane othembekile
Always there to lend an ear
– Njalo lapho ukuze uthole indlebe
I dealt with you fairly, been patient, it’s true
– Ngabhekana nawe ngendlela enobulungisa, ngaba nesineke, kuyiqiniso
But remember, my deer
– Kodwa khumbula, izinyamazane zami
You’re in my zoo
– Wena e-zoo yami
Don’t you forget
– Ungakhohlwa
You are my pet
– Wena uyisilwane sami
I say when to sit and stay
– Ngithi kufanele uhlale nini futhi uhlale nini
Roll over, or go fetch
– Guqula, noma hamba uyolanda
Don’t you forget
– Ungakhohlwa
There’s no way out
– Ayikho indlela yokuphuma
You’re a debtor ’til the day you settle your account
– Ungumuntu okweletayo ‘ kuze kube usuku uxazulule akhawunti yakho
I’ve served you faithfully for an age
– Ngikukhonze ngokwethembeka isikhathi eside
Obeyed demands, contained my rage
– Ukulalela izimfuno, kwavimbela intukuthelo yami
Went off the air for years on your behalf
– Yayeka ukusakazwa iminyaka eminingi ngenxa yakho
I know, and you’re so kind!
– Ngiyazi, futhi unomusa kakhulu!
And since you made me disappear
– Futhi njengoba wangenza nganyamalala
My name inspires much less fear
– Igama lami liphefumulela ukwesaba okuncane kakhulu
The least that you can do is fix my staff
– Okuncane ongakwenza ukulungisa abasebenzi bami
In due time
– Ngesikhathi esifanele
Sing along, dear, you know the words!
– Cula kanye, sithandwa, uyawazi amazwi!
Don’t you forget
– Ungakhohlwa
I won’t forget
– Ngeke ngikhohlwe
You are my pet
– Wena uyisilwane sami
Yours since we met
– Eyakho kusukela sahlangana
I say when to sit and stay
– Ngithi kufanele uhlale nini futhi uhlale nini
Play ball, or just play dead
– Play ibhola, noma nje ukudlala dead
Don’t you forget
– Ungakhohlwa
I’m in your net
– Ngisenetheni lakho
The coop can’t be flown
– I coop ayikwazi ukundiza
At least, not yet
– Okungenani, okwamanje
The moves you make are mine and mine alone
– Izinyathelo ozenzayo ezami nezami zodwa
Looks like you’ll have to do this on your own
– Kubukeka sengathi kuzodingeka wenze lokhu wedwa
Looks like I’ll have to do this on my own
– Kubukeka sengathi kuzodingeka ngikwenze lokhu ngedwa
Fine
– Kuhle
