Ingoma
Mom and Dad are out of town
– Umama Notata babengekho edolophini
The two of us are grown-ups now
– Ngoku sobabini sikhulile
Pepper had to be put down
– I-Pepper kufuneka ihlulwe
Hard to take, hard to own
– Kunzima ukuthatha, kunzima ukuba ngumnini
Not hard to break a collarbone
– Akukho nzima ukwaphula ithambo
A little late, but not alone
– Emva kwexesha, kodwa kungekhona yedwa
And you’re only twenty-two
– Kwaye ndineminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini kuphela
And the world is watching you
– Ihlabathi likujongile
Judging everything you do
– Ukugweba yonke into oyenzayo
Just a house and just a room
– Indlu nje kunye negumbi
Just a handful of balloons
– A little baloo baloo
Just another afternoon
– Ngenye imva kwemini
Just the way it almost was
– Nje indlela kwaba phantse
When it’s just the two of us
– If we’re both
Sleep all day, I’ll wake you up
– Lala imini yonke, ndokuvusa
When it’s just the two of us
– If we’re both
Choir trip, chaperone
– Uhambo lwe-Choir, i-chaperone
Got homesick, got sent home
– Ndikhumbula ekhaya, ndathunyelwa ekhaya
Mom and Dad on the phone
– Umama Notata kwifowuni
And you’re only twenty-two
– Kwaye ndineminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini kuphela
And there’s nothin’ I can do
– Kwaye akukho nto ndinokuyenza
I made mistakes, you’ll make ’em too
– Ndenza iimpazamo, nawe uyazenza
Part of me is part of you
– Inxalenye yam yinxalenye yakho
Just a different shade of blue
– Bambi blues
Just a little family feud
– Usapho oluncinci nje
Just the way it almost was
– Nje indlela kwaba phantse
When it’s just the two of us
– If we’re both
Sleep all day, I’ll wake you up
– Lala imini yonke, ndokuvusa
When it’s just the two of us
– If we’re both
Mm-mm-mm-mm
– Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
– Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
(Ah-ah, ah)
– (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Ahh-ahh-ahh
– Kwakum-ahh
(Ahh) And you’re only twenty-two
– (Ahhh) kwaye wena ungamashumi amabini anesibini kuphela
And there’s nothin’ I can do
– Kwaye akukho nto ndinokuyenza
Part of me is part of you
– Inxalenye yam yinxalenye yakho
Just a different shade of blue
– Bambi blues
