Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Lovers kiss in a garden made of thorns
– Abathandi bayanga engadini eyenziwe ngameva
Traces of lonely words, illusions torn
– Izimpawu zamagama anesizungu, izinkohliso zidwenguliwe
You said, “How does a man like me love a woman like you?”
– Wathi, ” indoda enjengami ingithanda Kanjani owesifazane onjengawe?”
I said, “Hold me until I die and I’ll make you brand new”
– Ngathi, ” ngibambe ngize ngife futhi ngizokwenza ube musha sha”
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
Around my finger like a cast
– Ezungeze umunwe wami njengenduku
‘Cause even though the church burned down
– Ngoba ngisho noma isonto lashiswa
I’ll be your queen without a crown
– Ngizoba yindlovukazi yakho ngaphandle komqhele
I’ve been so lonely in this field
– Ngiye ngaba nesizungu kakhulu kulo mkhakha
Fighting a battle with no shield
– Ukulwa impi ngaphandle isihlangu
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
And we’ll make it last
– Futhi sizokwenza kube okokugcina
This is the lawn of memories I mourn
– Lona utshani bezinkumbulo engizililelayo
I fall into your eyes, shelter from storm
– Ngiwela emehlweni akho, indawo yokukhosela esivunguvungwini
You said, “How does a man like me love a woman like you?”
– Wathi, ” indoda enjengami ingithanda Kanjani owesifazane onjengawe?”
I said, “Hold me until I die and I’ll make you brand new”
– Ngathi, ” ngibambe ngize ngife futhi ngizokwenza ube musha sha”
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
Around my finger like a cast
– Ezungeze umunwe wami njengenduku
‘Cause even though the church burned down
– Ngoba ngisho noma isonto lashiswa
I’ll be your queen without a crown
– Ngizoba yindlovukazi yakho ngaphandle komqhele
I’ve been so lonely in this field
– Ngiye ngaba nesizungu kakhulu kulo mkhakha
Fighting a battle with no shield
– Ukulwa impi ngaphandle isihlangu
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
And we’ll make it last
– Futhi sizokwenza kube okokugcina
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
And we’ll make it last
– Futhi sizokwenza kube okokugcina
I’ll give you something
– Ngizokunika okuthile
Yeah, it’s no diamond ring
– Yebo, akuyona indandatho yedayimane
The air that I’m breathing
– Umoya engiwuphefumulayo
Forever’s not enough
– Kuze kubeeverade akwanele
A song we’ll both sing
– Ingoma sobabili esizoyicula
Yeah, it’s not the same thing
– Yebo, akuyona into efanayo
Yeah, it’s not the same thing
– Yebo, akuyona into efanayo
Forever’s not enough
– Kuze kubeeverade akwanele
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
Around my finger like a cast
– Ezungeze umunwe wami njengenduku
‘Cause even though the church burned down
– Ngoba ngisho noma isonto lashiswa
I’ll be your queen without a crown
– Ngizoba yindlovukazi yakho ngaphandle komqhele
I’ve been so lonely in this field
– Ngiye ngaba nesizungu kakhulu kulo mkhakha
Fighting a battle with no shield
– Ukulwa impi ngaphandle isihlangu
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
And we’ll make it last
– Futhi sizokwenza kube okokugcina
Come on and wrap that blade of grass
– Wozani nigoqe lelo khala lotshani
And we’ll make it last
– Futhi sizokwenza kube okokugcina
