Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
She said, “You think the devil has horns? Well, so did I
– Wathi, ” Ucabanga ukuthi udeveli unezimpondo? Nami nganginjalo
But I was wrong, his hair is combed and he wears a suit and tie
– Kodwa nganginephutha, izinwele zakhe ziyahlanzwa futhi ugqoka isudi nothayi
He’s nice, polite, he’ll catch you by surprise
– Unomusa, unenhlonipho, uzokubamba ngokumangala
A smile so bright, you’d never bat an eye”
– Ukumamatheka okukhanyayo, awusoze washaya iso”
Said she was in a hurry
– Wathi wayeshesha
That’s when she met him Sunday walking down the street
– Yilapho ahlangana khona naye ngesonto ehamba emgwaqweni
She dropped her bag and it fell to his feet, he got down on one knee
– Walahla isikhwama sakhe futhi sawela ezinyaweni zakhe, wawela phansi edolweni elilodwa
He handed her the purse and gave a warning to her saying
– Wamnika isikhwama semali futhi wamxwayisa ngokuthi
“Miss, you know the devil has horns, he’s out tonight
– “Miss, uyazi ukuthi udeveli unezimpondo, uphumile kulobubusuku
Walking round downtown carrying a gun and knife
– Ukuhamba uzungeze idolobha uphethe isibhamu nommese
He’ll fight, you’ll die, but you’ll see him clear as light
– Uzolwa, uzokufa, kodwa uzombona ecacile njengokukhanya
An evil sight, you should know the warning signs”
– Ukubona okubi, kufanele wazi izimpawu eziyisixwayiso”
So then he walked her to her home
– Ngakho wabe esemyisa ekhaya lakhe
He said, “A pretty girl like you can’t be alone
– Wathi, ” intombazane enhle enjengawe ayikwazi ukuba yodwa
Because the devil he will take all that you own
– Ngoba udeveli uyothatha konke onakho
And he’ll strip you to the bone”
– Futhi uzokukhumula emathanjeni”
She thanked him twice and said, “Good night”
– Wambonga kabili wathi, ” Ubusuku Obuhle”
She checked her bag, but nothing was inside
– Wabheka isikhwama sakhe, kodwa akukho okwakungaphakathi
You think the devil has horns? Well, so did I
– Ucabanga ukuthi udeveli unezimpondo? Nami nganginjalo
But I was wrong, his hair is combed and he wears a suit and tie
– Kodwa nganginephutha, izinwele zakhe ziyahlanzwa futhi ugqoka isudi nothayi
He’s nice, polite, he’ll catch you by surprise
– Unomusa, unenhlonipho, uzokubamba ngokumangala
A smile so bright, he’s the devil in disguise
– Ukumamatheka kukhanya kakhulu, ungudeveli ogqoke izingubo
