Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
The sky is grey, the trees are pink
– Isibhakabhaka siyamnyama, imithi ipinki
It’s almost spring and I can’t wait and I can’t think
– Intwasahlobo iphantse ibe yintwasahlobo kwaye andinakulinda kwaye andinakucinga
The sidewalk’s paved with petals like a wedding aisle
– I-sidewalk ke paved kunye petals na wedding aisle
I wonder how long it would take to walk eight hundred miles
– Ndiyazibuza ukuba kuya kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuhamba ngeekhilomitha ezisibhozo
To say I do, I did, I will, I would
– Saying, i’d do, i’d
I’m not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good
– Andizisoli, andizisoli, andizisoli, andizisoli
But I love you, and every day
– Ndiyakuthanda kwaye yonke imihla
That I knew and didn’t say
– Bendingayazi kwaye ndingatsho
Is lost time
– Ixesha elilahlekileyo
And I’m knocking down your door
– Ndinkqonkqoza emnyango wakho
‘Cause I’m trying to make up for
– Kuba ndizama ukwenza
Lost time
– Ixesha elilahlekileyo
Wish you were here
– Ndinqwenela ukuba ubelapha
Wish I was there
– Akwaba bendilapho
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
– Akwaba bekukho indawo esasinokwabelana ngayo
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
– Hayi nje amaxesha abiweyo kwiiholo ezilahliweyo
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
– Cwaka touch kwiilifti kunye nezitali zangasese
But I will, I would, I did, I do
– But i’ll, i’ll, i’ll, i’ll
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
– Ngenxa yempilo yami, ngenxa yami, ngenxa yakho
‘Cause I love you, and every day
– Ndikuthanda imini yonke
That I knew and didn’t say
– Bendingayazi kwaye ndingatsho
Is lost time
– Ixesha elilahlekileyo
Knocking down your door
– Ukucima umnyango wakho
‘Cause I’m trying to make up for
– Kuba ndizama ukwenza
Lost time
– Ixesha elilahlekileyo
Nothing lasts forever but let’s see how far we get
– Akukho nto ihlala ngonaphakade kodwa makhe sibone ukuba side kangakanani
So when it comes my time to lose you
– Ngoko xa kufika ixesha lam ukuba ulahlekelwe
I’ll have made the most of it
– I’ll concede the most
Our formal attire
– Isinxibo sethu esisesikweni
On the floor
– Phantsi
In a pile
– Kwimfumba
In the morning
– Kusasa
I will fold it while you get ready for work, I hear you
– Ndiza kuyisonga xa ulungele umsebenzi, ndiyakuva
Singing in the shower, it’s the song I showed you years ago
– Kwinana washington, kwinana washington, washington years ago
It’s nice to know you listen to it after all this time
– Kumnandi ukukwazi ukuba uliphulaphule emva kwalo lonke eli xesha
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60 day chip
– Ndibeka iimpahla zakho kwisinxibo nge-chip yakho yeentsuku ezingama-60
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
– Kwaye ikhonkco lakho legolide elaphukileyo, itikiti lakho lokupaka elingahlawulwanga
I notice everything about you, I can’t help it
– Ndibona yonke into ngawe, andinakukunceda
It’s not a choice, it’s been this way since we met
– Akukho khetho, oko kwakunjalo ukususela oko sadibana
‘Cause I love you, and every day
– Ndikuthanda imini yonke
That I knew and didn’t say
– Bendingayazi kwaye ndingatsho
Is a crying shame
– Shona liliya
It’s a crime
– Ulwaphulo-mthetho
A waste of space
– Inkunkuma yendawo
Lost time
– Ixesha elilahlekileyo
