Lyrics
And now we’re all here, we’ve moved to New York
– Futhi manje sonke silapha, sithuthele Enew York
We’ve found a nice little rental near a sweet little school
– Sithole indawo enhle yokuqasha eduze kwesikole esincane esimnandi
Now I’m looking at houses with four or five floors
– Manje ngibheka izindlu ezinemigqa emine noma emihlanu
And you’ve found us a brownstone, said “You want it? It’s yours”
– Futhi usitholile itshe elinsundu, wathi ” Uyayifuna? Ingeyakho”
So we went ahead and we bought it
– Ngakho saqhubeka futhi sayithenga
Found ourselves a good mortgage
– Sazithola siyimalimboleko enhle
Billy Cotton got sorted
– Ubilly Cotton wahlungwa
All the furniture ordered
– Zonke ifenisha wayala
I could never afford this
– Ngangingeke ngikwazi ukukhokhela lokhu
You were pushing it forward
– Wawuyiqhubela phambili
Made me feel a bit awkward
– Kwangenza ngazizwa ngingakhululekile
Made me feel a bit awkward
– Kwangenza ngazizwa ngingakhululekile
I walk up the stoop, I put the key in the door
– Ngihamba phezulu, ngifaka ukhiye emnyango
And then my phone started ringing so I answered the call
– Futhi-ke ifoni yami yaqala ukukhala ngakho ngaphendula ucingo
And they were like “Hey, you’ve got a lead in a play
– Futhi babefana ” Sawubona, unendima eyinhloko emdlalweni
You’ve gotta be back in London for rehearsals in May”
– Kumelwe ubuyele Elondon Ukuze uzilolonge Ngomeyi”
And then later that evening you said how was my day
– Kamuva ngalobo busuku wathi usuku lwami lwalunjani
I said “I got some good news, I got the lead in a play”
– Ngathi ” ngithole izindaba ezinhle, ngithole ukuhola emdlalweni”
That’s when your demeanour started to change
– Yilapho isimo sakho sengqondo saqala khona ukushintsha
You said that I’d have to audition, I said “You’re deranged”
– Wathi kwakuzodingeka ngihlole, ngathi ” uphazamisekile”
And I thought
– Futhi ngacabanga
I thought that that was quite strange (I found that strange)
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi lokho kwakuyinto exakile (ngakuthola kuyinqaba lokho)
And I thought
– Futhi ngacabanga
I thought that that was quite strange (So very strange)
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi lokho kwakuyinto engajwayelekile (Engajwayelekile kakhulu)
But I ignored it
– Kodwa ngayishaya indiva
Went ahead and I bought it
– Ngaqhubeka futhi ngayithenga
Got a flight and I boarded
– Ngathola indiza futhi ngagibela
I’m on my way
– Ngisendleleni
Now I’m in London, I’m on my own
– Manje Sengiselondon, ngingedwa
I’m in a hotel room, I’m on my own
– Ngisegumbini lehhotela, ngingedwa
Now I’m in London and I’m all alone
– Manje Sengiselondon futhi ngingedwa
I’m in a hotel room, I’m all on my own
– Ngisegumbini lehhotela, ngingedwa
Now I’m a West End Girl
– Manje Sengiyintombazane Yasewest End
Now I’m a West End Girl
– Manje Sengiyintombazane Yasewest End
Now I’m a West End Girl
– Manje Sengiyintombazane Yasewest End
A West End Girl
– Intombazane Yasewest End
Hi, how are you? I miss you
– Sawubona, unjani? Ngiyakukhumbula
Yeah
– Yebo
Huh?
– Ingabe?
Yeah
– Yebo
Right
– Ngakwesokudla
Um
– Um
Okay
– Kulungile
Well
– Kahle
I mean, it doesn’t make me feel great
– Ngiqonde ukuthi, akungenzi ngizizwe kahle
Well—, if that’s what you need to do, then
– Uma lokho kufanele ukwenze, khona-ke
I guess
– Ngicabanga
Well, how, how will it work?
– Kuyosebenza kanjani?
Where—, right
– Lapho -, kwesokudla
I mean it makes me really sad but
– Ngiqonde ukuthi kungenza ngidabuke ngempela kodwa
Mhm-mhm
– Mhm-mhm
Mhm-mhm
– Mhm-mhm
No, I’m, I’m fine, I’m fine, I just, I want, I want you to be happy
– Cha, ngiyaphila, ngiphilile, ngiphilile, ngifuna nje, ngifuna ujabule
Okay
– Kulungile
I’ll speak to you later
– Ngizokhuluma nawe kamuva
I love you
– Ngiyakuthanda
Bye
– Sawubona
