Lyrics
Christmas night
– Ubusuku bukakhisimusi
Another fight
– Enye impi
Tears we cried a flood
– Izinyembezi sakhala isikhukhula
Got all kinds of poison in
– Nginazo zonke izinhlobo zobuthi
Of poison in my blood
– Ubuthi egazini lami
I took my feet to Oxford street
– Ngathatha izinyawo Zami Ngaya E Oxford street
Trying to right a wrong
– Ukuzama ukulungisa okungalungile
“Just walk away” those windows say
– “Hamba nje” lawo mafasitela athi
But I can’t believe she’s gone
– Kodwa angikholwa ukuthi usehambile
When you’re still waiting for the snow to fall
– Lapho usalindele ukuba iqhwa liwe
Doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akazizwa ngempela njengokhisimusi nhlobo
Up above candles on air flicker
– Phezulu ngaphezu kwamakhandlela emoyeni flicker
Oh, they flicker, and they flow
– Oh, ziyaqhaqhazela, futhi ziyageleza
And I’m up here holding onto
– Futhi ngilapha ngibambelela
All those chandeliers of hope
– Zonke lezo zibuko zethemba
And like some drunken Elvis singing
– Futhi njengabanye U Elvis odakiwe ecula
I go singing out of tune
– Ngiyahamba ngicula ngingavumelani
Singing how I always loved you, darling
– Ukucula indlela engangikuthanda ngayo, sithandwa
And I always will
– Futhi ngiyohlale
Oh, when you’re still waiting for the snow to fall
– Oh, uma usalindele ukuba iqhwa liwe
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akubonakali ngempela njengokhisimusi nhlobo
Still waiting for the snow to fall
– Usalindele ukuba iqhwa liwe
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
– Akubonakali ngempela njengokhisimusi nhlobo
Those Christmas lights
– Lezo zibani Zikakhisimusi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa umgwaqo
Down where the sea and city meet
– Phansi lapho ulwandle nomuzi kuhlangana khona
May all your troubles soon be gone
– Kwangathi zonke izinkinga zakho zingase zingasekho ngokushesha
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
– Oh, izibani Zikakhisimusi ziyaqhubeka zikhanya
Those Christmas lights
– Lezo zibani Zikakhisimusi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa umgwaqo
Maybe they’ll bring her back to me
– Mhlawumbe bayombuyisela kimi
And then all my troubles will be gone
– Futhi zonke izinkinga zami ziyobe zingasekho
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on
– Oh, izibani Zikakhisimusi ziyaqhubeka zikhanya
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
– Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, Christmas lights
– Oh, izibani Zikakhisimusi
Light up the street
– Khanyisa umgwaqo
Light up the fireworks in me
– Khanyisa iziqhumane kimi
May all your troubles soon be gone
– Kwangathi zonke izinkinga zakho zingase zingasekho ngokushesha
Those Christmas lights keep shining on
– Lezo zibani Zikakhisimusi ziyaqhubeka zikhanya
