I Feel Love
Brenda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you
Are the words I wanna hear everyday
You're mine
Are the words I wanna feel when you say
I'm yours, I've told you so many times
Now you know
My love is yours, and I'll be yours
I love you, and I showed you
And I've told you many times ago
I love you, and I showed you
And I've told you many times ago

Ngitshele ngingowakho
Ngitshel'uyangithanda
Ngitshele uzongifela
Ngitshele ngingowakho

Ngitshele ngingowakho
Ngitshel'uyangithanda
Ngitshele uzongifela
Ngitshele ngingowakho

So kiss me when you're sorry
So I could feel all your love
Emhlabeni wona wonke
Soz'abikho onjengawe baby
Iza kimi, bamb'isandla
So I could feel paradise in you
My love is yours, you are mine

I love you, and I showed you
And I've told you many times ago
I love you, and I showed you
And I've told you many times ago

Ngitshele ngingowakho
Ngitshel'uyangithanda
Ngitshele uzongifela
Ngitshele ngingowakho

Ngitshele ngingowakho
Ngitshel'uyangithanda
Ngitshele uzongifela
Ngitshele ngingowakho





I love you baby

John G Byrne

MotownMagic1959
As you may know John, I try hard to find those superb tracks that Brenda (like other artists) recorded for Motown, but they were put by, and I'm sure they intended on releasing them, but there were so many in those days that they were just forgotten, until now!! so I'm really glad you like this, and Brenda at last, deserves the credit eh? from a good time!! Cheers, JOHN

I believe this was the original 1964 version while there was another version she did of that in 1966 that never released.
