Ikliphu Yevidiyo
Ingoma
I think too much of all that’s gone
– Ndicinga ukuba yonke into ihambile
Of how it was before my thoughts
– Njani ngaphambi kokuba iingcinga zam
Obsessed with choices made for sure
– Obsessed kunye nemigaqo yokusebenzisa imichiza made kuba uqinisekile
In ignorance of history
– Ukungazi imbali
And consequence as more and more
– Kwaye iziphumo ngakumbi nangakumbi
I misremember hopelessly
– Andikhumbuli ndiphelelwe lithemba
The way love turned out every time
– Indlela uthando lwavela ngalo lonke ixesha
Was never quite enough
– Zange ngokwaneleyo
I lose all my life like this
– Ndilahlekelwa bubomi bam bonke ngolu hlobo
Reflecting time and memories
– Ukubonakalisa ixesha kunye neenkumbulo
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Kwaye konke ngenxa yokoyika into endiza kuyifumana
If I just stop and empty out my mind
– Ukuba ndiyayeka kwaye ndikhuphe ingqondo yam
Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
– Zonke iziporho kunye nawo onke amaphupha
All I hold to in belief
– All i’m sayin’
That all I ever am
– All i’m always
Is somehow never quite all I am now
– Anyway i’m okay now
I think too much of all to come
– Ndicinga ukuba kukho kakhulu ukuba kuza
Of how it will be after I give up
– Kuza kwenzeka njani emva kokuba ndinikezele
My weary dance with age
– Umdaniso wam wokudanisa kunye nobudala
And resignation moves me slow
– Kwaye ukurhoxa kundenza ndicothe
Toward a dark and empty stage
– Kwinqanaba elimnyama nelingenanto
Where I can sing the world I know
– Apho ndicula khona, ndiyazi
The way love turns out every time
– Indlela uthando luvela ngalo lonke ixesha
Will never be enough
– Soze sanele
I waste all my world like this
– Ndichitha lonke ihlabathi lam ngoluhlobo
Intending time and memories
– Ixesha kunye neenkumbulo
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Kwaye konke ngenxa yokoyika into endiza kuyifumana
If I just stop and empty out my mind
– Ukuba ndiyayeka kwaye ndikhuphe ingqondo yam
Of all the ghosts and all the dreams
– Zonke iziporho kunye nawo onke amaphupha
All I hold to in belief
– All i’m sayin’
That all I ever am
– All i’m always
Is somehow never quite all I am now
– Anyway i’m okay now
And all for fear of what I’ll find
– Kwaye konke ngenxa yokoyika into endiza kuyifumana
If I just stop
– Ukuba ndiyayeka
