Hlasela
Vuk' uhlasele vuka vuka
Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini mhh
Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini
Uyolwel'iksasa lakho lakho lakho
Uyolwel'iksasa lakho lakho lakho

(Hlasela) You better get up get out do something
Never give up get up when you're crimping
Oksalayo one day is one day you'll become what you wanna be
This world is yours young girl young boy what are you waiting for
This world is yours young girl young boy reemo and go explore
Kena kankani cause you got god has gave you a talent so earn by it
Learn from it can't buy this high way
Higher you aim today is the day higher and higher you earn
Today is the day higher and higher you earn

(Lakho lakho) Ekse aint no time to chill man hey
Ngoba iskhathi siyahamba
And we've got this dream to chase
So you got to do the same thing gcwala

Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini mhh
Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini
Uyolwel'iksasa lakho lakho lakho
Uyolwel'iksasa lakho lakho lakho

(Hlasela) Sawubona sawubona (Sawubona)
Mtakababa ngicela ungiphe indlebe
Kancane nje unglalele
Uyabona yini ukuthi kuyonakala
Ulukuhleli ubalisa ukhala
Ukukhala kwehlul' imbuzi
Wena ke kuyokusiza ngani

Nami ngingumuntu njengawe (Njengawe)
Nginegazi elibomvu njengawe (NJengawe)
Nami kukhona okungahambi kahle empilweni yami
Nami nginenkinga njengawe (Njengawe)
Kodwa azange ngivume zingsithe ngingakhoni ukuban' iksasa lami
If I can do it wena ke ungahluleka kanji
Nabaya nabaya nabaya sebeyosithela bayakushiya
Nabaya nabaya nabaya bayakushiya
Thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini

Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini mhh
Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini
Uyolwel' iksasa lakho lakho lakho
Uyolwel'iksasa lakho lakho lakho

Hlasela (Thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini mhh)




(Hlasela thatha iyikhali zakho ushonempini)
(Uyolwel'khaya lakho)

on Eweni

Ukuk'thanda kwam ngathi kuzongholela ek'feni
My love feels for you feels like will be the death of me

Ang'saboni noma kwonakala ngwela eweni
I don't know if it will end or if it will last

Bathi ukuk'thanda kwam ngathi kuzongholela ek'feni
They say my love will last forever

Ngisho abafowethu
I'm telling my friends

Mabengbonisa ngawe
They should show you

Ang'bambeki, Ang'khuzeki
I'm not shaken, I'm not moving

Ngisho ekhaya mabengbonisa ngawe ang'bambeki
At home they should show you, I am not moved

Nangiklobolela inhloso yodwa
I have one purpose

Nganthanda ukuma kwakho
To stand by you

Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kube
I won't be impatient, it will happen

Ngachazwa ukuma kwakho
I am encouraged to stand by you

Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kube kanje
I won't be impatient, it will happen like this

Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi koze kufike nje
I won't be impatient, it will arrive soon

Namhlanje ungumkam Umkami
Today you are a king, my king

Ngangingazitsheli ukuthi kuyoze kufike leskhathi
I won't be impatient, it will arrive at the right time

Ang'kafuni ukuzwa lutho
I don't want to hear anything

Beng'nga'funga ukufa komntu
I wasn't thinking about someone dying

Ngang'ngak qhuba ukusuka kothul'
I didn't run away from home

Ngiyafunga ngiyagomela
I think and confirm

Makakuhluphe umuntu kulokhu
Someone will be hurt by this

Lalingaphuma ukhuni kumuntu
It hurts someone like a spear

Mayengacuphu uchuku umuntu
It doesn't matter how strong someone is

Wami engimthandayo oh yeah
My love, yes I love him

Yena ulubambo
He is my pillar
