Overall Meaning

The repetitive chorus "Malilel'imango ingasiyo yakho" translates to "I'm crying for the things that don't belong to you." The verses seem to be addressed to a mother figure, possibly expressing some sort of guilt over leaving or disappointing her.

The words "Undithukela ntoni ngomzi wam mama" roughly translate to "what have I done to you, my mother." The repetition of "kushush'emzini" could be a reference to the sound of crying or weeping. The phrase "Hamba lelele" means "go to sleep," perhaps indicating a desire to escape from the pain or guilt.

Overall, the lyrics create a sense of longing and sadness, with the repetition of certain phrases emphasizing the emotional weight of the singer's words.
