Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Mother of my baby
You are my number one lady baby
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Daddy of my baby
My Black Cinderella
Ngikuthanda wakwempela
A'kuna bari ezongitshela
Mina ngawe ngiyazifela my girl
You worth more than diamonds
Worth more than the pearl
Listen let me tell
You are my love, my sun
My reason to wake in the morning
The reason I smile all day
You are my one
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Mother of my baby
You are my number one lady baby
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Daddy of my baby
You are my number one baby
Ndithe ndithe ndithe ndithez'iinkuni mna
Ndadibana nalo mhloshazana yo
Ndithe ndithe ndithe ndithezinkuni mna
Ndadibana nalo mhloshazana va
Ubuhle bakhe bunje ngentyatyambo
Bundenza ndibe namandla
Ndifane no Boro
My lyrics become sharp nje nge nkemba kaZoro
Akekho ongandithinta ngisho no Vangalero
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Mother of my baby
You are my number one lady baby
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Daddy of my baby
You are my number one baby
Seen a lot of chicks in my life
Had a lot of flings here and there in my life (In my life)
Had a lot first dates
First kisses, first hugs never did it twice till you
Coochy coo coo Baby Boo
I'm so gaga over you
I'm here to make your dreams come true
What you want Boo?
Diamond rings, shopping sprees, anything
Mandla come through for you
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifun'onje ngawe
Mother of my baby
You are my number one lady baby
You are my love, my sun
My reason to wake in the morning
The reason I smile all day
You are my one
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifun'onje ngawe
Mother of my baby
You are my number one lady baby
Ngithi kudala ngizula
Ngifuna onje ngawe
Daddy of my baby
You are my number one baby
