Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Please allow me to introduce myself
– Ngicela ungivumele ngizethule
I’m a man of wealth and taste
– Ngingumuntu onengcebo nokunambitheka
I’ve been around for a long, long years
– Sekuyiminyaka eminingi ngikhona
Stole million man’s soul an faith
– Weba umphefumulo womuntu oyisigidi ukholo
And I was ’round when Jesus Christ
– Futhi ngangiseduze Lapho Ujesu kristu
Had his moment of doubt and pain
– Wayenesikhathi sakhe sokungabaza nobuhlungu
Made damn sure that Pilate
– Waqinisekisa ukuthi Upilatu
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
– Wageza izandla zakhe futhi wavala isiphetho sakhe
Pleased to meet you
– Ngiyajabula ukuhlangana nawe
Hope you guess my name
– Ithemba wena ukuqagela igama lami
But what’s puzzling you
– Kodwa yini ekudidayo
Is the nature of my game
– Ingabe uhlobo umdlalo wami
Stuck around St. Petersburg
– Ukubambeka eduze Kwasest. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
– Lapho ngibona kwakuyisikhathi sokushintsha
Killed Tsar and his ministers
– Wabulala Uczar nezikhonzi zakhe
Anastasia screamed in vain
– U Anastasia wamemeza ngeze
I rode a tank
– Ngagibela ithangi
Held a general’s rank
– Wayenesikhundla sokuba ujenene
When the blitzkrieg raged
– Lapho impi esheshayo iqala
And the bodies stank
– Futhi izidumbu zazinuka kabi
Pleased to meet you
– Ngiyajabula ukuhlangana nawe
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
– Ithemba wena ukuqagela igama lami, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
– Ah, yini ekudidayo
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
– Ingabe uhlobo umdlalo wami, oh yeah
I watched with glee
– Ngabuka ngenjabulo
While your kings and queens
– Ngesikhathi amakhosi akho namakhosikazi
Fought for ten decades
– Walwa amashumi eminyaka
For the gods they made
– Onkulunkulu ababenzayo
I shouted out
– Ngamemeza
Who killed the Kennedys?
– Ubani owabulala abakwakennedy?
When after all
– Lapho phela
It was you and me
– Kwakunguwe nami
Let me please introduce myself
– Ngicela ungethule
I’m a man of wealth and taste
– Ngingumuntu onengcebo nokunambitheka
And I laid traps for troubadours
– Futhi ngabeka izicupho zama troubadour
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
– Ababulawa ngaphambi kokuba bafinyelele Ebombay
Pleased to meet you
– Ngiyajabula ukuhlangana nawe
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
– Ithemba wena waqagela igama lami, oh yeah
But what’s puzzling you
– Kodwa yini ekudidayo
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
– Ingabe uhlobo umdlalo wami, oh yebo, wehla, baby
Pleased to meet you
– Ngiyajabula ukuhlangana nawe
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
– Ithemba wena waqagela igama lami, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
– Kodwa yini ekudidayo
Is just the nature of my game
– Kumane nje kuyimvelo yomdlalo wami
Just as every cop is a criminal
– Njengoba nje wonke amaphoyisa eyisigebengu
And all the sinners saints
– Futhi bonke abangcwele bezoni
As heads is tails
– Njengoba amakhanda eyimisila
Just call me Lucifer
– Ngishayele Ulusifa
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint
– Ngoba ngidinga ukuzithiba okuthile
So if you meet me
– Ngakho uma uhlangana nami
Have some courtesy
– Yiba nomusa othile
Have some sympathy, and some taste
– Yiba nozwela, nokunambitheka okuthile
Use all your well-learned politnesse
– Sebenzisa yonke inhlonipho yakho efundiswe kahle
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
– Noma ngizolahla umphefumulo wakho, mm yeah
Pleased to meet you
– Ngiyajabula ukuhlangana nawe
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
– Ithemba wena waqagela igama lami, mm yeah

Woo, who
