Lyrics
Did no one ever teach you how to dance?
– Ingabe akekho owake wakufundisa ukudansa?
Nobody ever taught you how to dance?
– Akekho owake wakufundisa ukudansa?
Well—well, everyone knows how to dance
– Yebo, wonke umuntu uyakwazi ukudansa
There’s only so much time
– Kunesikhathi esiningi kakhulu
Yeah, somebody died today, I
– Yebo, othile wafa namuhla, mina
I saw his picture in the funny papers
– Ngabona isithombe sakhe emaphephandabeni ahlekisayo
Didn’t think anybody died on a Friday
– Angicabangi ukuthi ukhona owafa ngolwesihlanu
Some angry banker, some kind of money trader
– Omunye umnikazi webhange othukuthele, uhlobo oluthile lomthengisi wemali
Recently divorced, was drunk drivin’ down the highway
– Muva nje uhlukanisile, udakiwe ukushayela emgwaqweni omkhulu
And drove off the bridge to his wedding song
– Futhi wasuka ebhulohweni waya engomeni yakhe yomshado
Blew out the bass in his speakers, you can still hear the treble goin’ (Treble goin’)
– Waqhuma i-bass ezikhulumi zakhe, usengezwa i – treble goin ‘(treble goin’)
The hospital was useless, and everything was quiet but the music
– Isibhedlela sasingasizi ngalutho, futhi konke kwakuthule ngaphandle komculo
Recently, I only meet peace when in deep sleep
– Muva nje, ngihlangana nokuthula kuphela lapho ngilele ubuthongo obukhulu
Been the same dream, world safe, smile on her face
– Kube iphupho elifanayo, izwe liphephile, ukumamatheka ebusweni bakhe
Waitin’ on the other side (The other side)
– Ukulinda ngakolunye uhlangothi (ngakolunye uhlangothi)
I wonder if He’ll take me to the other side (The other side), yeah
– Ngiyazibuza ukuthi uzongithatha yini aye kolunye uhlangothi (kolunye uhlangothi), yebo
What your eyes see, too naive for war, and that’ll screw ya
– Lokho amehlo akho akubonayo, okuwubuwula kakhulu empini, futhi lokho kuyokuphazamisa
Still bet it all on the glory, hallelujah
– Ngisabheja konke ngenkazimulo, haleluya
I heard the answer in the gibberish of an old drunk
– Ngezwa impendulo engaqondakali yesidakwa esidala
All he said was he’s in no rush
– Konke akusho ukuthi akasheshi
If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
– Uma ngingakhokha nje irenti yami ngolwesibili
I bet I’d be rich by April Fools’ day
– Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngizoba yisicebi ngosuku lwama-April Fools
The moon’s wide awake, with a smile on his face
– Inyanga iphapheme kakhulu, imomotheka ebusweni bayo
As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
– Njengoba ehambisa izinkanyezi ngokungemthetho esikhwameni sakhe
Don’t you love silence? (Silence)
– Awuthandi ukuthula? (Ukuthula)
Everything quiet but the music (Music)
– Konke kuthule ngaphandle komculo (Umculo)
Everything quiet but the music
– Konke kuthule ngaphandle komculo
Do you love silence? (Ooh)
– Ingabe uyakuthanda ukuthula? (Ooh)
Everything quiet but the music
– Konke kuthule ngaphandle komculo
(Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo)
– (I-Hoo-hoo, i-hoo-hoo, i-hoo-hoo, i-hoo)
Somebody gave birth to a baby boy
– Othile wazala umfana
I saw his picture in the funny papers
– Ngabona isithombe sakhe emaphephandabeni ahlekisayo
Eleven pounds, named after his uncle Gabriel
– Amakhilogremu ayishumi nanye, aqanjwe ngomalume Wakhe Ugabriel
His mother cried with her lips against his soft face (Soft face)
– Unina wayekhala ngezindebe zakhe ebusweni bakhe obuthambile (ubuso Obuthambile)
Why’d she bring these bright eyes into this dark place?
– Kungani eletha la mehlo akhanyayo kule ndawo emnyama?
Oh, sweet, sweet oblivion
– Oh, ukukhohlwa okumnandi, okumnandi
Way before the information gets settled in
– Ngaphambi kokuba ukwaziswa kuxazululwe
I swear to God I never wanna sin again
– Ngifunga Kunkulunkulu angisoze ngafuna isono futhi
But I fear that trouble’s on its way (Yeah)
– Kodwa ngiyesaba ukuthi inkinga isendleleni (Yebo)
The mind go with age, don’t surrender
– Ingqondo ihamba ngokuguga, unganikezeli
My mistake, I misplaced all of my remembers
– Iphutha lami, ngilahlekelwe yizo zonke izinkumbulo zami
Baby, there’s a little vacation in the dresser
– Baby, kukhona iholide kancane ekhabetheni
Take one for depression, and two for your temper
– Thatha eyodwa ngenxa yokucindezeleka, futhi ezimbili ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho
If I could just pay my rent by Tuesday
– Uma ngingakhokha nje irenti yami ngolwesibili
I bet I’d be rich by April Fools’ day
– Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ngizoba yisicebi ngosuku lwama-April Fools
The moon’s wide awake, with a smile on his face
– Inyanga iphapheme kakhulu, imomotheka ebusweni bayo
As he smuggle constellations in his suitcase
– Njengoba ehambisa izinkanyezi ngokungemthetho esikhwameni sakhe
Don’t you love silence?
– Awuthandi ukuthula?
Oh shit, here come the icebreaker
– Oh shit, nansi i-icebreaker
It’s danger when he’s bringin’ out the lightsaber
– Kuyingozi lapho ekhipha inkemba yokukhanya
The words awesome but he’s talkin’ outta turn often
– Amazwi awesome kodwa ukhuluma outta turn kaningi
I blew the fuck up, then became the world’s problem
– Ngaqhuma, ngabe sengiba inkinga yezwe
Bad hygiene, all about that gross life
– Inhlanzeko embi, konke mayelana nalokho kuphila okubi
Hate to see somebody fuckin’ up their own life (Their own life)
– Hate ukubona umuntu fuckin ‘ up ukuphila kwabo siqu (ukuphila Kwabo siqu)
Just roll the dice, put a twenty on midnight
– Vele ugingqe idayisi, ubeke amashumi amabili phakathi kwamabili
Have a feelin’ we gon’ win tonight (Win tonight)
– Yiba nomuzwa wokuthi ‘sizonqoba’ namuhla ebusuku (Win tonight)
‘Cause when the snakes start slitherin’, you spot the chameleons
– ‘Ngoba lapho izinyoka ziqala ukugeleza,’ ubona ama-chameleon
You realize you surrounded by reptilians (‘Tilians)
– Uyaqaphela ukuthi uzungezwe izilwane ezihuquzelayo (‘Tilians)
Shit, I ain’t an innovator, just a motherfuckin’ illustrator (Illustrator)
– Shit, i ain ‘t an innovator, just a motherfuckin’ illustrator (Umdwebi Wezithombe)
Why does it matter
– Kungani kunendaba
At all? Oh, woah, woah
– Nhlobo? Oh, woah, woah
