Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
For a while there it was rough
– Okwesikhashana kwakunzima
But lately, I’ve been doin’ better
– Kodwa muva nje, bengilokhu ngenza kangcono
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
– Kunamadecember amane okugcina abandayo ngiyakhumbula
And I see my family every month
– Futhi ngibona umkhaya wami njalo ngenyanga
I found a girl my parents love
– Ngathola intombazane abazali bami abayithandayo
She’ll come and stay the night
– Uzofika azolala
And I think I might have it all
– Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ngingaba nakho konke
And I thank God every day
– Futhi ngibonga Unkulunkulu nsuku Zonke
For the girl he sent my way
– Ngoba intombazane wathumela indlela yami
But I know the things he gives me
– Kodwa ngiyazi izinto anginika zona
He can take away
– Angamthatha
And I hold you every night
– Futhi ngikubamba njalo ebusuku
That’s a feeling I wanna get used to
– Lokho kuwumuzwa engifuna ukujwayela
But there’s no man as terrified
– Kodwa akekho umuntu owesaba kangako
As the man who stands to lose you
– Njengendoda ezokulahlekelwa
Oh, I hope I don’t lose you
– Oh, ngithemba ukuthi ngeke ngikulahlekelwe
Mm
– Mm
Please stay
– Sicela uhlale
I want you, I need you, oh God
– Ngifuna wena, ngiyakudinga, O Nkulunkulu
Don’t take
– Ungathathi
These beautiful things that I’ve got
– Lezi zinto ezinhle enginazo
Please stay
– Sicela uhlale
I want you, I need you, oh God
– Ngifuna wena, ngiyakudinga, O Nkulunkulu
Don’t take
– Ungathathi
These beautiful things that I’ve got
– Lezi zinto ezinhle enginazo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
– Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Please don’t take
– Sicela ungathathi
I found my mind, I’m feelin’ sane
– Ngathola ingqondo yami, ngizizwa ngiphilile engqondweni
It’s been a while, but I’m finding my faith
– Sekuyisikhathi eside, kodwa ngithola ukholo lwami
If everything’s good and it’s great
– Uma konke kuhle futhi kuhle
Why do I sit and wait ’til it’s gone?
– Kungani ngihlala futhi ngilinde ‘kuze kube yilapho sekuphelile?
Oh, I’ll tell ya, I know I’ve got enough
– Oh, ngizokutshela, ngiyazi ukuthi nginakho okwanele
I’ve got peace and I’ve got love
– Nginokuthula futhi nginothando
But I’m up at night thinkin’
– Kodwa ngiphapheme ebusuku ngicabanga
I just might lose it all
– Ngingase ngilahlekelwe yikho konke
Please stay
– Sicela uhlale
I want you, I need you, oh God
– Ngifuna wena, ngiyakudinga, O Nkulunkulu
Don’t take
– Ungathathi
These beautiful things that I’ve got
– Lezi zinto ezinhle enginazo
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
– Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Please stay
– Sicela uhlale
I want you, I need you, oh God
– Ngifuna wena, ngiyakudinga, O Nkulunkulu
I need
– Ngidinga
These beautiful things that I’ve got
– Lezi zinto ezinhle enginazo
