Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
(Half past 12) and I’m watching the late show
– (Isigamu esedlule ku-12) futhi ngibuka umbukiso wokugcina
In my flat all alone
– Efulethini lami ngedwa
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
– Indlela engizonda ngayo ukuchitha ubusuku ngedwa
(Autumn winds) blowing outside the window
– (Imimoya yasekwindla) evunguza ngaphandle kwefasitela
As I look around the room
– Njengoba ngibheka ekamelweni
And it makes me so depressed to see the gloom
– Futhi kungenza ngicindezeleke kakhulu ukubona ubumnyama
There’s not a soul out there
– Akukho mphefumulo lapho
No one to hear my prayer
– Akekho ozokuzwa umthandazo wami
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away?
– Ngeke yini umuntu angisize ngixoshe izithunzi?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
– Ngithathe ebumnyameni kuze kube sekupheleni kosuku
(Movie stars) find the end of the rainbow
– (Izinkanyezi zamabhayisikobho) thola ukuphela kothingo
With a fortune to win
– Ngenhlanhla yokuwina
It’s so different from the world I’m living in
– Ihluke kakhulu ezweni engihlala kulo
(Tired of TV) I open the window
– (TIRED OF TV) ngivula iwindi
And I gaze into the night
– Futhi ngibheke ebusuku
But there’s nothing there to see, no one in sight
– Kodwa akukho lutho lapho ongalubona, akekho obonayo
There’s not a soul out there
– Akukho mphefumulo lapho
No one to hear my prayer
– Akekho ozokuzwa umthandazo wami
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away?
– Ngeke yini umuntu angisize ngixoshe izithunzi?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
– Ngithathe ebumnyameni kuze kube sekupheleni kosuku
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
There’s not a soul out there
– Akukho mphefumulo lapho
No one to hear my prayer
– Akekho ozokuzwa umthandazo wami
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away?
– Ngeke yini umuntu angisize ngixoshe izithunzi?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
– Ngithathe ebumnyameni kuze kube sekupheleni kosuku
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Won’t somebody help me chase the shadows away?
– Ngeke yini umuntu angisize ngixoshe izithunzi?
Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight
– Gimme, gimme, gimme indoda ngemva kwamabili
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
– Ngithathe ebumnyameni kuze kube sekupheleni kosuku
