Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Oh, they say people come, say people go
– Yithi abantu bayeza, bathi abantu bayahamba
This particular diamond was extra special
– Le diamond ekhethekileyo ekhethekileyo
And though you might be gone, and the world may not know
– Kwaye nangona usenokuba uhambe, kwaye umhlaba usenokungazi
Still I see you celestial
– Ndibona wena zulu
Like a lion you ran, a goddess you rolled
– Njengengonyama wena wagijima, unkulunkulu wagijima
Like an eagle you circled in perfect purple
– Njengokhozi wajikeleza emfusa ogqibeleleyo
So how come things move on? How come cars don’t slow?
– Ngoko kwenzeka njani ukuba izinto ziqhubeke? Iimoto azizukucotha njani?
When it feels like the end of my world
– Xa uziva ngathi usisiphelo sehlabathi
When I should but I can’t let you go
– Xa ndingakuvumeli ukuba uhambe
But when I’m cold, cold
– If i’m freezing, i’m freezing
Yeah, when I’m cold, cold
– Yeah, i’m freezing, yeah
There’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow
– Kukho ukukhanya okunika mna xa ndisemthunzini
There’s a feelin’ within me, everglow
– Within me ukulele
Like brothers in blood, sisters who ride
– Njengabazalwana egazini, oodade abakhwele
And we swore on that night we’d be friends ’til we die
– Kwaye safunga ngobo busuku siya kuba ngabahlobo de sife
But the changin’ of winds and the way waters flow
– Kodwa utshintsho lomoya kunye nendlela amanzi ahamba ngayo
Life is short as the fallin’ of snow
– Ubomi bufutshane njengokuwa kwekhephu
And now I’m gonna miss you, I know
– Yhoo mama siyanikhumbula nonke
But when I’m cold, cold
– If i’m freezing, i’m freezing
In water rolled, salt
– Emanzini aqengqiweyo, ityuwa
And I know that you’re with me and the way you will show
– Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba unam kunye nendlela oza kuyibonisa ngayo
And you’re with me wherever I go
– Uhlala nam naphi na apho ndiya khona
And you give me this feelin’, this everglow
– “You iook iike this, iike this, iike that
Oh, what I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold
– Into endingazange ndiyinike umzuzwana nje wokuyibamba
Yeah, I live for this feelin’, this everglow
– Yes, yes, yes, i live this feelin’, this everglow
So if you love someone, you should let them know
– Ngoko ukuba uyamthanda umntu, kufuneka ubazise
Oh, the light that you left me will everglow
– Owu, ukukhanya owushiye kum kuya kuhlala kukhanya
