Ingoma
This is the end of every song that we sing
– Yiyo yonke ingoma esiyiculayo
The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears
– Umlilo watshisa uthuthu kwaye iinkwenkwezi zafiphala ziinyembezi
Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we’ve been
– Kubanda kwaye kuyabanda, the ghosts i’ve been
We toast with bitter dregs, to our emptiness
– Sigcoba ngeentsipho ezikrakra, ukuze singabi nto yanto
And the birds falling out of our skies
– Kwaye iintaka ziwa esibhakabhakeni sethu
And the words falling out of our minds
– Amazwi aphuma ezingqondweni zethu
And here is to love, to all the love
– Kwaye nantsi ukuthanda, kulo lonke uthando
Falling out of our lives
– Ukuwa ebomini bethu
Hopes and dreams are gone
– Amathemba kunye namaphupha aphelile
The end of every song
– Ukuphela kwengoma nganye
And it all stops
– Kwaye konke kuyayeka
We were always sure that we would never change
– Sasiqinisekile ukuba soze sitshintshe
And it all stops
– Kwaye konke kuyayeka
We were always sure that we would stay the same
– Sasisoloko siqinisekile ukuba siya kuhlala sifana
But it all stops
– Kodwa yonke into iyayeka
And we close our eyes to sleep
– Kwaye sivala amehlo ethu ukuze silale
To dream a boy and girl
– Ukuphupha inkwenkwe nentombazana
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream
– Ngubani ophuphayo ihlabathi aliyonto ngaphandle kwephupha
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
– Chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik
This is this end of every song we sing
– Oku kukuphela kwengoma nganye esiyiculayo
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Where did it go?
– Yaya phi?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
– Chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik chrum chrum chrum chrum chrum kwik
This is the end of every song we sing, alone
– Zonke dikana-singles songs
