Lyrics
Congratulations
– Siyakuhalalisela
On your jubilation
– Ngenjabulo yakho
Our hearts are breakin’
– Izinhliziyo zethu ziyaphula
Underneath all the applause
– Ngaphansi kwakho konke ukushaywa ihlombe
This devastation
– Lokhu kubhujiswa
Is of our own makin’
– Kungokwethu
But we’ve never tasted
– Kodwa asikaze sinambithe
This much bitterness before
– Lokhu kufutheka okukhulu ngaphambili
And everybody falls
– Futhi wonke umuntu uyawa
But some of us are born to fight
– Kodwa abanye bethu bazalwa ukuze balwe
And fight and fight some more
– Futhi silwe futhi silwe ezinye
So we will see you here
– Ngakho sizokubona lapha
Same time, same place next year
– Isikhathi esifanayo, indawo efanayo ngonyaka ozayo
And you may win this battle
– Futhi ungase uwine le mpi
But you’ll never win the war
– Kodwa awusoze wayinqoba impi
Better to have fought and lost
– Kungcono ukulwa nokulahlekelwa
Than never fought at all
– Kunalokho angikaze ngilwe nhlobo
Go take a bow, your
– Hamba uthathe umnsalo, wakho
Audience is waiting
– Izilaleli zilindile
We’ll take the shadows
– Sizothatha izithunzi
Since the limelight isn’t ours
– Njengoba ukukhanya kungekhona okwethu
We wanted it so bad
– Sasifuna kube kubi kakhulu
Gave it all we had
– Sanikela ngakho konke esasinakho
Oh, but wanting it
– Oh, kodwa ufuna
Doesn’t always make it yours
– Akwenzi kube okwakho ngaso sonke isikhathi
This time was ours to lose
– Lesi kwakuyisikhathi sethu sokulahlekelwa
But fortune favours those
– Kodwa inhlanhla iyabasiza labo
Who ride the storm and make it though
– Nokho ngubani ogibele isiphepho futhi asenze
So we will see you here
– Ngakho sizokubona lapha
Same time, same place next year
– Isikhathi esifanayo, indawo efanayo ngonyaka ozayo
And you can take this battle
– Futhi ungathatha le mpi
‘Cause we’re gonna win the war
– Ngoba sizonqoba impi
Better to have fought and lost
– Kungcono ukulwa nokulahlekelwa
Than never fought at all
– Kunalokho angikaze ngilwe nhlobo
So here on the same ground
– Ngakho lapha endaweni efanayo
When the tables have turned around
– Lapho amatafula esephendukile
Oh, when your tears fall
– Oh, lapho izinyembezi zakho ziwa
As your world is crashing down
– Njengoba izwe lakho liwohloka
I hope when you see me
– Ngiyethemba uma ungibona
You remember that feeling
– Uyakhumbula lowo muzwa
Oh, ’cause we’ve both seen the world
– Oh, ngoba sobabili siye sabona izwe
From both sides now
– Kusukela nhlangothi zombili manje
And everybody falls
– Futhi wonke umuntu uyawa
And life will tear you down to show you
– Futhi ukuphila kuyokudiliza ukuze kukubonise
What’s worth fighting for
– Yini okufanele ilwelwe yona
Oh, we will see you here
– Oh, sizokubona lapha
Same time, same place next year
– Isikhathi esifanayo, indawo efanayo ngonyaka ozayo
And you may win this battle
– Futhi ungase uwine le mpi
But you’ll never win the war
– Kodwa awusoze wayinqoba impi
Better to have fought and lost
– Kungcono ukulwa nokulahlekelwa
Than never fought at all
– Kunalokho angikaze ngilwe nhlobo
Better to have fought and lost
– Kungcono ukulwa nokulahlekelwa
Than never fought at all
– Kunalokho angikaze ngilwe nhlobo
