Ividyo Kliphu
Lyrics
I am the son
– Ngingumfana
And the heir
– Nendlalifa
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
– Enamahloni angcolile ngokobugebengu
I am the son and heir
– Ngiyindodana nendlalifa
Of nothing in particular
– Akukho lutho oluthile
You shut your mouth
– Uvala umlomo wakho
How can you say
– Ungasho kanjani
I go about things the wrong way
– Ngihamba ngezinto ngendlela engafanele
I am human and I need to be loved
– Ngingumuntu futhi ngidinga ukuthandwa
Just like everybody else does
– Njengabo bonke abanye
I am the son
– Ngingumfana
And the heir
– Nendlalifa
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
– Enamahloni angcolile ngokobugebengu
I am the son and the heir
– Ngiyindodana nendlalifa
Of nothing in particular
– Akukho lutho oluthile
You shut your mouth
– Uvala umlomo wakho
How can you say
– Ungasho kanjani
I go about things the wrong way
– Ngihamba ngezinto ngendlela engafanele
I am human and I need to be loved
– Ngingumuntu futhi ngidinga ukuthandwa
Just like everybody else does
– Njengabo bonke abanye
There’s a club if you’d like to go
– Kuneklabhu uma ungathanda ukuya
You could meet somebody who really loves you
– Ungase uhlangane nothile okuthandayo ngempela
So you go, and you stand on your own
– Ngakho uya, futhi ume wedwa
And you leave on your own
– Futhi uhamba wedwa
And you go home, and you cry
– Futhi uya ekhaya, futhi uyakhala
And you want to die
– Futhi ufuna ukufa
When you say it’s gonna’ happen ‘now’
– Uma uthi ‘kuzokwenzeka’manje’
Well, when exactly do you mean?
– Well, nini ngempela usho?
See I’ve already waited too long
– Bheka sengivele ngilinde isikhathi eside kakhulu
And all my hope is gone
– Futhi lonke ithemba lami seliphelile
You shut your mouth
– Uvala umlomo wakho
How can you say
– Ungasho kanjani
I go about things the wrong way
– Ngihamba ngezinto ngendlela engafanele
I am human and I need to be loved
– Ngingumuntu futhi ngidinga ukuthandwa
Just like everybody else does
– Njengabo bonke abanye
