Ingoma
How does it feel
– Uziva njani
To treat me like you do?
– Ngaba uya kundiphatha njengawe?
When you’ve laid your hands upon me
– Xa ubeke izandla zakho phezu kwam
And told me who you are
– Ndixelele ukuba ungubani
I thought I was mistaken
– Ndacinga ukuba ndiphosakele
I thought I heard your words
– Ndeva amazwi akho
Tell me how do I feel
– Ndixelele ukuba ndiziva njani
Tell me now, how do I feel
– Ndixelele, ndiziva njani ngoku
Those who came before me
– Abo beza phambi kwam
Lived through their vocations
– Baphila ngemisebenzi yabo
From the past until completion
– From past into endings
They’ll turn away no more
– Abasayi kuphinda babuye
I still find it so hard
– Ndisakufumanisa kunzima
To say what I need to say
– Ukuthetha oko ndifuna ukukuthetha
But I’m quite sure that you’ll tell me
– Ndiqinisekile ukuba uya kundixelela
Just how I should feel today
– Indlela endivakalelwa ngayo namhlanje
I see a ship in the harbor
– Ndibona inqanawa ezibukweni
I can and shall obey
– Ndinako kwaye ndiya kuthobela
But if it wasn’t for your misfortune
– Kodwa ukuba bekungengenxa yentlekele yakho
I’d be a heavenly person today
– Namhlanje ndiza kusaba ndiye kweli cala lingesosibhakabhaka
And I thought I was mistaken
– Kwaye ndandicinga ukuba ndiphosakele
And I thought I heard you speak
– Bendicinga ukuba uyeva ukuba uthetha
Tell me, how do I feel
– Ndixelele, ndiziva njani
Tell me now, how should I feel
– Ndixelele, ndivakalelwa njani ngoku
Now I stand here waiting
– Ndilinde apha
I thought I told you to leave me
– Bendicinga ukuba uzondishiya
While I walk down to the beach
– While i’m away beach
Tell me how does it feel
– Ndixelele ukuba uziva njani
When your heart grows cold, grows cold…
– Xa intliziyo yakho ibanda, iyabanda…
