Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
Flicking embers into daffodils
– Amalahle ashukumisayo abe ama-daffodil
You didn’t plan to tell me how you feel
– Awuhlelanga ukungitshela ukuthi uzizwa kanjani
You laugh about it like it’s no big deal
– Uyahleka ngakho sengathi akuyona into enkulu
Crush the fire underneath your heel
– Choboza umlilo ngaphansi kwesithende sakho
I’m surprised that you’re the one who said it first
– Ngiyamangala ukuthi nguwe owasho kuqala
If you had waited a few years, I would’ve burst
– Ukube ubulinde iminyaka embalwa, ngabe ngaqhuma
Everything comes up to the surface in the end
– Konke kuza ekugcineni
Even the things we’d rather leave unspoken
– Ngisho nezinto esingathanda ukuzishiya zingakhulunywa
We both know that it would never work
– Sobabili siyazi ukuthi ngeke kusebenze
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
– Unentombazane yakho, uzoshada nayo
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
– Futhi ngizobe ngibuka ngigqoke isudi enemichilo
Sincerely happy for the both of you
– Ngijabule ngobuqotho kubo bobabili
So what changes, if anything?
– Ngakho yini eshintshayo, uma kukhona?
Maybe everything can stay the same
– Mhlawumbe konke kungahlala kufana
But if we never talk about it again
– Kodwa uma singaphinde sikhulume ngakho
There’s something I want you to understand
– Kunento engifuna uyiqonde
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You knew when you caught me reading at your show
– Wazi lapho ungibamba ngifunda embukisweni wakho
I knew when you came to visit in the cold
– Ngangazi lapho ufika ukuzovakasha emakhazeni
We could’ve done something that we’d come to regret
– Sasingenza okuthile esasizisola ngakho
Do you remember? You say, “How could I forget?”
– Uyakhumbula? Uthi, ” Ngingakhohlwa Kanjani?”
But we both know that it would never work
– Kodwa sobabili siyazi ukuthi ngeke kusebenze
You’ve got your girl, you’re gonna marry her
– Unentombazane yakho, uzoshada nayo
And I’ll be watching in a pinstriped suit
– Futhi ngizobe ngibuka ngigqoke isudi enemichilo
Not even wishing it was me and you
– Ngisho nokufisa ukuthi kube yimi nawe
So what changes, if anything?
– Ngakho yini eshintshayo, uma kukhona?
Maybe everything can stay the same
– Mhlawumbe konke kungahlala kufana
But if we never talk about it again
– Kodwa uma singaphinde sikhulume ngakho
There’s something I want you to understand
– Kunento engifuna uyiqonde
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
You’re a big deal
– Wena mkhulu
