Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
There’s guitars ringin’ now from the top floor of this house
– Ngoku kukho amagitare akhalayo ukusuka kumgangatho ophezulu wale ndlu
That I’ve learned to rest my soul inside
– Ndifunde ukuphumla umphefumlo wam ngaphakathi
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Zola-zola kweli hlabathi elikhulu
That I don’t feel like facing tonight
– Andiziva ngathi ndijamelene nobusuku ngoku
I don’t have the words yet, I’ll smoke a cigarette
– No comments yet, i’ll tsukuba
Even though she’ll smell it on my breath
– Nokuba uyaliva iphunga lam
I say I want kids even though I can’t quit
– Ndifuna abantwana nangona ndingakwazi ukuyeka
The things that make me childish
– Things i’m into childhood
But it ain’t all bad, the windows are cracked
– Kodwa akusiyo yonke into embi, iifestile ziqhekekile
I came down to hear you laughin’ in the kitchen, babe
– Ndivile ukuba uhleka into the kitchen, babe
Let’s pour some wine, there’s still a little time
– Masigalele iwayini, kusekho ixesha elincinci
And maybe a little bit left in me to save
– Kwaye mhlawumbi kancinci ekhohlo kum ukugcina
Be still, be quiet, the world’s a giant
– Zola-zola – ihlabathi likhulu
I ain’t ever had myself a David’s heart
– Andikaze ndicinge ukuba Ndingubani ngentliziyo Kadavide
I’ll say sorry to God for all the trouble I caused
– Ndiyaxolisa Uthixo ngayo yonke ingxaki endikubangeleyo
Maybe that’s a good place for me to start
– Mhlawumbi le yindawo elungileyo ukuba ndiqale
You’ll be holdin’ to no other holdless boy
– Awungekhe uhambe gwenxa ngale ndoda ingenasiphelo
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Nazwa u breathytkownika ” eli sela livuya
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Kungcono ukulwa nawe kunokuba ufile
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Ixesha lokuphumla ngoku ngoba abantwana badinga ukondliwa
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Ixesha lokuphumla ngoku ngoba abantwana badinga ukondliwa
Guitars ringin’ now from the top of that house
– Guitars zikhala ngoku ukusuka phezulu kule ndlu
We used to rest our souls inside
– Sasidla ngokuphumla imiphefumlo yethu ngaphakathi
Nothing lasts, memories pass
– Akukho nto ihleliyo, iinkumbulo ziyadlula
Think of home on an August night
– Cinga ekhaya ngo-agasti ebusuku
There’s reasons to go, reasons to stay
– Kukho izizathu zokuya, izizathu zokuhlala
Just know you’ll fear it all anyway
– Yazi ukuba uyoyika yonke into
Be still, be quiet, this world’s a giant
– Zola-zola kweli hlabathi elikhulu
Maybe there’s a little bit left to save
– Mhlawumbi kuncinci okuseleyo ukugcina
You’ll be holding to no other holdless boy
– Awungekhe uhambe gwenxa ngale nkwenkwe ingenasinxibo
I heard breathin’ this world is the thief of joy
– Nazwa u breathytkownika ” eli sela livuya
You’re better off fightin’ than you are dead
– Kungcono ukulwa nawe kunokuba ufile
The time for rest ain’t now ’cause the kids need fed
– Ixesha lokuphumla ngoku ngoba abantwana badinga ukondliwa
The time for rest ain’t now, the kids need fed
– Ixesha lokuphumla now, we don’t need nutrition, we need nutrition
