The kids are in town for a funeral
– Izingane zisezidolophini ngenxa yomngcwabo
So pack the car and dry your eyes
– Ke pakisha imoto kwaye womise amehlo akho
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ’em
– Ndiyazi ukuba uninzi lwegazi elincinci eliseleyo kubo
And plenty nights under pink skies you taught ’em to enjoy
– Kwaye ubusuku obuninzi phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esipinki ubafundise ukuba bonwabe
So clean the house, clear the drawers, mop the floors, stand tall
– Coca indlu, coca iidrowa, phakamisa imigangatho, ume mde
Like no one’s ever been here before or at all
– Akukho mntu wakha waphila ngaphambili
And don’t you mention all the inches that are scraped on the doorframe
– Musa ukukhankanya zonke ii intshi ezikhutshelwe kwisakhelo somnyango
We all know you tiptoed up to 4’1″ back in ’08
– Sonke siyazi ukuba ucofe ukuya kuthi ga kwi-4’1″ emva kwi ‘ 08
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Ukuba ubunokuzibona ngoku, ubuya kuba neqhayiya ngazo
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– You think yep yep yep
Your funeral was beautiful
– Umngcwabo wakho wawumhle
I bet God heard you comin’
– Ndiqinisekile Uthixo uyakuva usiza
The kids are in town for a funeral
– Izingane zisezidolophini ngenxa yomngcwabo
And the grass all smells the same as the day you broke your arm swingin’
– Kwaye ingca yonke inuka ngokufanayo nosuku owaphula ingalo yakho’
On that kid out on the river
– Kule nkwenkwana iphuma emlanjeni
You bailed him out, never said a thing about Jesus or the way he’s livin’
– Wena bamkhiphela ngaphandle, akazange athethe into Ngoyesu okanye indlela yena livin’
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Ukuba ubunokuzibona ngoku, ubuya kuba neqhayiya ngazo
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– You think yep yep yep
Your funeral was beautiful
– Umngcwabo wakho wawumhle
I bet God heard you comin’
– Ndiqinisekile Uthixo uyakuva usiza
(Strum it)
– (Strum it)
If you could see ’em now, you’d be proud
– Ukuba ubunokuzibona ngoku, ubuya kuba neqhayiya ngazo
But you’d think they’s yuppies
– You think yep yep yep
Your funeral was beautiful

I bet God heard you comin’
