Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Christmas night
– Ubusuku bekrisimesi
Another fight
– Omnye umlo
Tears we cried a flood
– Iinyembezi zakhala isikhukula
Got all kinds of poison in
– Fumana zonke iintlobo zetyhefu
Of poison in my blood
– Ubuthi egazini lam
I took my feet to Oxford street
– Ndithathe iinyawo zam Ndaya Eoxford street
Trying to right a wrong
– Ukuzama ukulungisa impazamo
“Just walk away” those windows say
– “Just walk away” photos
But I can’t believe she’s gone
– Kodwa andikholelwa ukuba uye
When you’re still waiting for the snow to fall
– Ukuba usalindele ukuba ikhephu liwe
Doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akukho Nto ifana Nekrismesi
Up above candles on air flicker
– Phezulu ngaphezu amakhandlela on air flicker
Oh, they flicker, and they flow
– Oooh, they’re flying, ye’re flying, ye’re flying
And I’m up here holding onto
– I’m up here ukulele
All those chandeliers of hope
– Zonke dikana ithemba
And like some drunken Elvis singing
– Kwaye njengokunxila Elvis ukucula
I go singing out of tune
– Ndicula ngaphandle kweengoma
Singing how I always loved you, darling
– Iingoma oza kuzithanda: ‘soloko ndikuthanda, sithandwa sam
And I always will
– Kwaye ndiya kuhlala
Oh, when you’re still waiting for the snow to fall
– Ukuba usalindele ukuba ikhephu liwe
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akukho Nto ifana Nekrismesi
Still waiting for the snow to fall
– Lindela ikhephu ukuba liwe
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akukho Nto ifana Nekrismesi
Those Christmas lights
– Ezi zibane Zekrisimesi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa isitalato
Down where the sea and city meet
– Phantsi apho ulwandle nesixeko zidibana khona
May all your troubles soon be gone
– Ngamana zonke iingxaki zakho zingaphela kungekudala
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
– Izibane Zekrisimesi zihlala zikhanya
Those Christmas lights
– Ezi zibane Zekrisimesi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa isitalato
Maybe they’ll bring her back to me
– Mhlawumbi baya kumbuyisela
And then all my troubles will be gone
– Kwaye ke zonke iingxaki zam ziya kuphela
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
– Izibane Zekrisimesi zihlala zikhanya
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
– Owu, owu, owu, owu, owu
Oh, Christmas lights
– Izibane Zekrisimesi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa isitalato
Light up the fireworks in me
– Breathe into me breathe into me
May all your troubles soon be gone
– Ngamana zonke iingxaki zakho zingaphela kungekudala
Those Christmas lights keep shining on
– Ezo zibane Zekrismesi zihlala zikhanya
