Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Flicking embers into daffodils
– Fixes into daffodils
You didn’t plan to tell me how you feel
– Awungandixeleli ukuba uziva njani
You laugh about it like it’s no big deal
– Uhleka ngathi akukho nto enkulu
Crush the fire underneath your heel
– Cr umlilo phantsi kwesithende sakho
I’m surprised that you’re the one who said it first
– Ndiyamangaliswa kukuba nguwe owathi kuqala
If you had waited a few years, I would’ve burst
– Ukuba bendilinde iminyaka embalwa, ngendigqabhuke
Everything comes up to the surface in the end
– Yonke into iza phezulu ekugqibeleni
Even the things we’d rather leave unspoken
– Things i’d rather be unboxing
We both know that it would never work
– Sobabini siyazi ukuba soze isebenze
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
– Unentombi yakho, uya kutshata naye
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
– I’ll look into a sweatshirt
Sincerely happy for the both of you
– Sinovuyo dimanda ngomsomnye
So what changes, if anything?
– Ke loluphi utshintsho, ukuba kukho nantoni na?
Maybe everything can stay the same
– Mhlawumbi yonke into inokuhlala ifana
But if we never talk about it again
– Kodwa ukuba asizange siphinde sithethe ngayo
There’s something I want you to understand
– Kukho into endifuna ukuba uyiqonde
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You knew when you caught me reading at your show
– Ubusazi xa undibambe ndifunda kumboniso wakho
I knew when you came to visit in the cold
– Bendisazi ukuba niza kufika nini ebusika
We could’ve done something that we’d come to regret
– Ngaba ikho into esasinokuzisola ngayo
Do you remember? You say, “How could I forget?”
– Uyakhumbula na? Nithi, ” Ndingalibala njani?”
But we both know that it would never work
– Kodwa sobabini siyazi ukuba soze isebenze
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
– Unentombi yakho, uya kutshata naye
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
– I’ll look into a sweatshirt
Not even wishing it was me and you
– Nkqu unqwenela ukuba mna nawe
So what changes, if anything?
– Ke loluphi utshintsho, ukuba kukho nantoni na?
Maybe everything can stay the same
– Mhlawumbi yonke into inokuhlala ifana
But if we never talk about it again
– Kodwa ukuba asizange siphinde sithethe ngayo
There’s something I want you to understand
– Kukho into endifuna ukuba uyiqonde
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena omkhulu
