Ingoma
Everybody dies, surprise, surprise
– Wonke umntu uyafa, umothuko, umothuko
We tell each other lies, sometimes, we try
– Ngamanye amaxesha siyaxoka, ngamanye amaxesha siyazama
To make it feel like we might be right
– Ukuze sizive ngathi singaba ekunene
We might not be alone
– Mhlawumbi asisodwa
Be alone
– Yiba wedwa
“Everybody dies”, that’s what they say
– “Wonke umntu uyafa”, yiloo nto abayithethayo
And maybe in a couple hundred years
– Kwaye mhlawumbi kwiminyaka engamakhulu ambalwa
They’ll find another way
– Baya kufumana enye indlela
I just wonder why you’d wanna stay
– Ndiyazibuza ukuba kutheni ufuna ukuhlala
If everybody goes
– Ukuba wonke umntu uyahamba
You’d still be alone
– You’ll be alone ukulele
I don’t wanna cry, some days I do
– Andifuni ukukhala, ngezinye iintsuku ndiyakwenza
But not about you
– Kodwa hayi ngawe
It’s just a lot to think about the world I’m used to
– Ndicinga nje ngehlabathi endiliqhele
The one I can’t get back
– Lowo andinakubuya
At least not for a while
– Ubuncinane hayi okwethutyana
I sure have a knack for seeing life more like a child
– Ndiqinisekile ukuba unobuchule bokubona ubomi ngakumbi njengomntwana
It’s not my fault, it’s not so wrong to wonder why
– Ayilotyala lam, akuphosakalanga ukuzibuza ukuba kutheni
Everybody dies
– Wonke umntu uyafa
And when will I?
– Kwaye ndiya kuyenza nini?
You oughta know
– Kufuneka uyazi
That even when it’s time
– Ukuba nkqu ukuba ke ixesha
You might not wanna go
– Mhlawumbi awufuni ukuya
But it’s okay to cry
– It’s okay to cry ukulele
And it’s alright to fold
– Kwaye kulungile ukusonga
But you are not alone
– Kodwa awuwedwa
You are not unknown
– Awuyazi into oyaziyo
