There’ll be no strings to bind your hands
– Akukho ntambo yokubopha izandla zakho
Not if my love can’t bind your heart.
– Hayi ukuba uthando lwam alunakubopha intliziyo yakho.
And there’s no need to take a stand
– Kwaye akukho mfuneko yokuma
For it was I who chose to start.
– Kuba mna wakhetha ukuqala.
I see no need to take me home,
– Andiboni mfuneko yokundigodusa,
I’m old enough to face the dawn.
– Ndimdala ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndijongane nokusa.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
– Nditsalele umnxeba ingelosi yasekuseni
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
– Chukumisa nje isidlele sam phambi kokuba undishiye, mntwana.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
– Nditsalele umnxeba ingelosi yasekuseni
Then slowly turn away from me.
– Emva koko usuke kancane kancane kum.
Maybe the sun’s light will be dim
– Mhlawumbi ukukhanya kwelanga kuya kufiphala
And it won’t matter anyhow.
– Kwaye ayinamsebenzi nokuba kunjalo.
If morning’s echo says we ve sinned,
– Ukuba i echo kusasa ithi sonile,
Well, it was what I wanted now.
– Yile nto bendiyifuna ngoku.
And if we’re the victims of the night,
– Kwaye ukuba singamaxhoba obusuku,
I won’t be blinded by light.
– Andizukuphambana nokukhanya.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
– Nditsalele umnxeba ingelosi yasekuseni
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
– Chukumisa nje isidlele sam phambi kokuba undishiye, mntwana.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
– Nditsalele umnxeba ingelosi yasekuseni
Then slowly turn away,
– Emva koko ujike kancinci,
I won’t beg you to stay with me
– Andisoze kuba ndonwabe ukuya kuhlangana nani
Through the tears of the day,
– Iinyembezi zosuku,
Of the years, baby baby baby.
– Years away, baby.
Just call me angel of the morning ANGEL
– Nditsalele umnxeba ingelosi yasekuseni
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
– Chukumisa nje isidlele sam phambi kokuba undishiye, mntwana.
