Lovers kiss in a garden made of thorns
– Abathandi bamanga egadini eyenziwe ngameva
Traces of lonely words, illusions torn
– Iloilo iloilo iloilo iloilo iloilo iloilo iloilo
You said, “How does a man like me love a woman like you?”
– Wathi, “umntu onjengam uthanda njani umfazi onjengawe?”
I said, “Hold me until I die and I’ll make you brand new”
– Me: “Haibo ndzohlala ndikuthanda”
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Yiza usonge loo blade yengca
Around my finger like a cast
– Ukujikeleza umnwe wam njengecast
‘Cause even though the church burned down
– Kuba icawa yayitshile
I’ll be your queen without a crown
– I’ll be your queen without the crown ukulele
I’ve been so lonely in this field
– Ndililolo kweli candelo
Fighting a battle with no shield
– Umlo ongenamakhaka
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Yiza usonge loo blade yengca
And we’ll make it last
– Kwaye siya kuyenza yokugqibela
This is the lawn of memories I mourn
– Lo ngumkhwa weenkumbulo endizilileyo
I fall into your eyes, shelter from storm
– I’m into your eyes, indawo yokuhlala kwisaqhwithi
You said, “How does a man like me love a woman like you?”
– Wathi, “umntu onjengam uthanda njani umfazi onjengawe?”

Come on and wrap that blade of grass

Come on and wrap that blade of grass

And we’ll make it last
– Kwaye siya kuyenza yokugqibela
I’ll give you something
– I’ll concede somthing
Yeah, it’s no diamond ring
– Yes, diamond no
The air that I’m breathing
– Breathing i’m breathing
Forever’s not enough
– Anele ngcongca
A song we’ll both sing
– Kwinana both
Yeah, it’s not the same thing
– Yes, it’s nothing
Yeah, it’s not the same thing
– Yes, it’s nothing
Forever’s not enough
– Anele ngcongca
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
