Lyrics
This is the end of every song that we sing
– Lona ukuphela kwengoma ngayinye esiyihlabelelayo
The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears
– Umlilo washisa waba umlotha futhi izinkanyezi zafiphala izinyembezi
Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we’ve been
– Sibanda futhi sesaba, izipoki zakho konke ebesinakho
We toast with bitter dregs, to our emptiness
– Siphuza imfucumfucu ebabayo, ukuze singabi nalutho
And the birds falling out of our skies
– Futhi izinyoni ziwa esibhakabhakeni sethu
And the words falling out of our minds
– Futhi amazwi aphuma ezingqondweni zethu
And here is to love, to all the love
– Futhi nansi uthando, lonke uthando
Falling out of our lives
– Ukuwa ezimpilweni zethu
Hopes and dreams are gone
– Amathemba namaphupho asekho
The end of every song
– Ukuphela kwengoma ngayinye
And it all stops
– Futhi konke kuyama
We were always sure that we would never change
– Sasihlale siqiniseka ukuthi sasingeke sishintshe
And it all stops
– Futhi konke kuyama
We were always sure that we would stay the same
– Sasihlale siqiniseka ukuthi siyohlala sinjalo
But it all stops
– Kodwa konke kuyama
And we close our eyes to sleep
– Futhi sivala amehlo ethu ukuze silale
To dream a boy and girl
– Ukuphupha umfana nentombazane
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream
– Ubani ophupha umhlaba awulutho ngaphandle kwephupho
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
– Broken izwi lament ukusibiza ekhaya
This is this end of every song we sing
– Lokhu ukuphela kwengoma ngayinye esiyihlabelelayo
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Where did it go?
– Laya kuphi?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
– Broken izwi lament ukusibiza ekhaya
This is the end of every song we sing, alone
– Lesi yisiphetho sengoma ngayinye esiyihlabelelayo, sisodwa
