Lyrics
What you doin’, Papa?
– Yini oyenzayo, Baba?
Hi
– Sawubona
No, uh-uh, say hi
– Cha, uh-uh, say hi
Hi
– Sawubona
Don’t you know I’m no good for you?
– Awazi yini ukuthi angilungile kuwe?
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to
– Ngifunde ukukulahlekelwa, angikwazi ukukhokhela
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’
– Ngadwengula ihembe lami ukuze ngikuvimbe ukopha
But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
– Kodwa akukho lutho olukuvimbela ukuba uhambe
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
– Ngithule lapho ngifika ekhaya futhi ngingedwa
You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Awukaze uhlangane Nobaba (ngingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyakuthanda kanjalo)
He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (like it like that)
– Yena sweet efanele, yena ugcine Mama on izinzwane zami (like it like that)
I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
– Ngangidinga usizo, wabhukha indiza (ngingaqamba amanga, futhi ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo)
In three days, you’d meet Papa (like it like that, mm)
– Ezinsukwini ezintathu, ubungahlangana Nobaba (njengalokhu, mm)
The waiting, the gazing
– Ukulinda, ukubuka
The painting, the raging
– Umdwebo, ukufutheka
The ravin’, the pacing
– I-ravin’, ukuhamba
The praying, the shaking
– Ukuthandaza, ukuzamazama
I must admit, I was breaking
– Kumelwe ngivume ukuthi ngangiphuka
I must admit, I was taking
– Kumelwe ngivume ukuthi ngangithatha
I must admit, my heart was racing
– Kumelwe ngivume ukuthi inhliziyo yami yayigijima
Telephone ring
– Indandatho yocingo
He didn’t make it
– Akazange akwenze
I just believed you wakin’
– Ngangimane ngikholelwa ukuthi uvukile
A memory in the makin’
– Inkumbulo ekwenziweni
Call me
– Ngibize
Won’t you call me? (Call)
– Ngeke yini ungibize? (Call)
No, you gone
– Cha, uhambile
Are you gone already? (Don’t you know too much already?)
– Ingabe usuhambile kakade? (Awukwazi kakade okuningi?)
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
– Ngizokulimaza kuphela uma ungivumela
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
– Call me friend, kodwa ngigcine ngiseduze (call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
– Futhi ngizokubiza lapho iphathi isiphelile
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
– Ngithule lapho ngifika ekhaya futhi ngingedwa
So deal, Nika
– Ngakho, nika
Yes real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Yebo real, Nika (i could lie, say I like it like that)
Don’t stress, Onika
– Musa ukucindezeleka, Onika
So blessed, Onika (like it like that)
– Ubusisiwe, Onika (like it like that)
Today, it’s 12-3-23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
– Namuhla, kuba 12-3-23 (ngingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo)
Your baby’s three
– Izingane zakho ezintathu
He’s the best, Onika (like it like that)
– Ungcono Kunabo bonke, Onika (like it like that)
Set me, set me, set me free
– Ngibeke, ngibeke, ngikhulule
Why didn’t you come back to get me?
– Kungani ungabuyanga ukuzongithatha?
Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
– Ngivumele, ngivumele, ngivumele ngibe (ngivumele ngibe)
Why would anyone want to love me?
– Kungani umuntu efuna ukungithanda?
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
– Ingabe ucebile, yebo, kodwa uyajabula? (Ocebile, yebo, kodwa uyajabula?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
– Konke lokhu umuzwa wecala uphethe esindayo (konke lokhu umuzwa wecala esindayo)
You’ve already made your peace with me
– Usuvele wenza ukuthula nami
One day you’ll have to forgive Mommy
– Ngelinye ilanga kuzodingeka uthethelele Umama
But she knows you know too much already
– Kodwa uyazi ukuthi usuyazi kakade
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
– Ngizokulimaza kuphela uma ungivumela
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
– Call me friend, kodwa ngigcine ngiseduze (call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
– Futhi ngizokubiza lapho iphathi isiphelile
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
– Ngithule lapho ngifika ekhaya futhi ngingedwa
And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Futhi ngangingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo, ngiyayithanda kanjalo
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Ngingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo, ngiyayithanda kanjalo
Nothin’ is better sometimes
– Ngezinye izikhathi akukho okungcono
Once we’ve both said our goodbyes
– Ngesinye isikhathi sobabili sesivalelise
Let’s just let it go
– Ake sikuyeke
Let me let you go
– Ake ngikuyeke uhambe
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
– Ngithule lapho ngifika ekhaya futhi ngingedwa
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Ngingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo, ngiyayithanda kanjalo
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
– Ngingaqamba amanga, ngithi ngiyayithanda kanjalo, ngiyayithanda kanjalo
