Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Awkho soka ladla kahle imbhani ekhaya
Iyashelwa intombi we mfana
Intombi ishelwa ngamanga
Ngithe angsi isghebengu
Ngithi angiphuzi angibhemi
Intombi ishelwa ngamanga
Angiphuzi angibhemi
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungikhipha ungikhuphe enhliziyweni ungifake enhliziyweni yakho
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungifaka ungifake entlizweni yakho ungikhiphe ekuhluphekeni
Wee ntombi a ume lapho (nayi inkulumiswano)
Miss'wa imina umiswa umendo (umtshato okhulumayo)eish
Ngithe yaz ngilahle inumber yami (okwam kwe zandla)
Ngicela unginike eyakho (ngiyazi iqala ngo zero)
Ngithe akhekho omunye
Omuhle kunawe umhlaba wonke
Jikelele
Ngithe akhekho omunye
Omuhle kunawe umhlaba wonke
Jikelele
Intombi ishelwa ngamanga
Ngithe angsi isghebengu mina sisi
Ngithi angiphuzi angibhemi
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungikhipha ungikhuphe enhliziyweni ungifake enhliziyweni yakho
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungifaka ungifake entlizweni yakho ungikhiphe ekuhluphekeni
Wee ntombi
Ngithe awuqonde
Lashona ilanga
Ngi kutshela into eyodwa
Habee
Kahle ukudlala ngam umuntu omuhle
Thanda mina ngithande wena ngeke ngik'didise eish
Mhlawumbi ukhathele
Nje ngoba ng'bongakola kanje
Nina ogijima enqondweni yami baby awuphumule
Ngithe akhekho omunye
Omuhle kunawe umhlaba wonke
Jikelele
Ngithe akhekho omunye
Omuhle kunawe umhlaba wonke
Jikelele
Intombi ishelwa ngamanga
Ngithe angsi isghebengu
Ngithi angiphuzi angibhemi
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungikhipha ungikhuphe enhliziyweni ungifake enhliziyweni yakho
Uthi uyangifaka
Noma uyangikhipha
Ma ungifaka ungifake entlizweni yakho ungikhiphe ekuhluphekeni
The lyrics of Sjava's "Intombi" talk about a young woman who is being deceived by her man. The first verse features a line that describes how the women in the village gossip about the situation, but nobody is brave enough to confront the man about his behavior. The chorus repeats the phrase "Intombi ishelwa ngamanga" which means "the girl is being deceived by lies" and expresses frustration with the situation.
In the second verse, Sjava urges the woman to stand up for herself and demand the truth from her man. He also addresses other women, encouraging them to value themselves and not settle for men who don't treat them with respect. The final verse shifts the focus to Sjava himself, as he expresses his desire for a beautiful woman but acknowledges that he doesn't want to play games or hurt her.

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
