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
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)

Lisa
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
