Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
Written in these walls are the stories that I can’t explain
– Ezi ndonga zibhalwe kwezi ndonga ngamabali endingakwaziyo ukuwachaza
I leave my heart open, but it stays right here empty for days
– Intliziyo yam ishiya ivulekile, kodwa ihlala apha ingenanto iintsuku
She told me in the mornin’ she don’t feel the same about us in her bones
– Wandixelela kusasa ‘ akavakalelwa ngendlela efanayo ngathi emathanjeni akhe
It seems to me that when I die, these words will be written on my stone
– Kubonakala kum ukuba xa ndisifa, la mazwi aya kubhalwa kwilitye lam
And I’ll be gone, gone tonight (Oh-oh-oh)
– I’ll be away, i’ll be away tonight (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
The ground beneath my feet is open wide (Oh-oh-oh)
– Umhlaba phantsi kweenyawo zam uvulekile (Oh-oh-oh)
The way that I’ve been holding on too tight (Oh-oh-oh)
– Way i’ve been away too strong (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
With nothing in between
– Nothing into nothing
The story of my life, I take her home
– Home iindaba ndithatha ubomi bam
I drive all night to keep her warm
– Ndiqhuba ubusuku bonke ukuze ndimgcine eshushu
And time is frozen (The story of, the story of)
– Kwaye ixesha liyabanda (the history of, the history of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
– Ibali lobomi bam, ndilinike ithemba
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
– Ndichitha uthando lwakhe ade aphule ngaphakathi
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)
– Ibali lobomi bam (ibali lobomi, ibali lam)
Written on these walls are the colors that I can’t change
– Ezi ndonga zinemibala endingenakuyitshintsha
Leave my heart open, but it stays right here in its cage
– Shiya intliziyo yam ivulekile, kodwa ihlala apha kwikheyiji yayo
I know that in the mornin’, I’ll see us in the light up on the hill
– Ndiyazi ukuba kusasa, ndiza kusibona ekukhanyeni kwinduli
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still
– Nangona ndiphukile, intliziyo yam ayihlali
And I’ll be gone, gone tonight (Oh-oh-oh)
– I’ll be away, i’ll be away tonight (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright (Oh-oh-oh)
– Umlilo phantsi kweenyawo zam uvutha ukukhanya (Oh-oh-oh)
The way that I’ve been holding on so tight (Oh-oh-oh)
– “The way i’ve been away” (Oh yeah)
With nothing in between
– Nothing into nothing
The story of my life, I take her home
– Home iindaba ndithatha ubomi bam
I drive all night to keep her warm
– Ndiqhuba ubusuku bonke ukuze ndimgcine eshushu
And time is frozen (The story of, the story of)
– Kwaye ixesha liyabanda (the history of, the history of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
– Ibali lobomi bam, ndilinike ithemba
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
– Ndichitha uthando lwakhe ade aphule ngaphakathi
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)
– Ibali lobomi bam (ibali lobomi, ibali lam)
And I’ve been waiting for this time to come around
– Ndilinde ixesha elide ukuza kuthi ga ngoku
But, baby, running after you is like chasin’ the clouds
– Kodwa, baby, ukubaleka emva kwakho kufana ne-chasin ‘ amafu
The story of my life, I take her home
– Home iindaba ndithatha ubomi bam
I drive all night to keep her warm
– Ndiqhuba ubusuku bonke ukuze ndimgcine eshushu
And time is frozen
– Kwaye ixesha libanda
The story of my life, I give her hope (I give her hope)
– Ibali lobomi bam, ndimnike ithemba (i give her hope)
I spend her love until she’s broke inside (‘Til she’s broke inside)
– Ndichitha uthando lwakhe ade aphule ngaphakathi (‘Ade aphule ngaphakathi)
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)
– Ibali lobomi bam (ibali lobomi, ibali lam)
The story of my life
– Ibali lobomi bam
The story of my life (The story of, the story of)
– Ibali lobomi bam (ibali lobomi, ibali lam)
The story of my life
– Ibali lobomi bam
