Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela baby)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Ukuqala ukuqala kokuhlakanipha wathi angilwengi mina
Ukwazi ukuthi isthandwa sakho siyisibusiso kuwe
Ngeke ngize ngiye lenalena
Sengikhathele ukuthatha amacala engingawazi njalo nsukuzonke
Makunge loku yiloku makunge loku yiloku
Ngigcina ngixolisa ngingekho ephutheni just to make you happy kodwa still naloko wena awukuboni
Cause you busy seaching for izinto ezingekho
You need to stop it before ubulahlekelwa okukhona ngokungekho
Mina ngithanda wena wedwa
Why kungakujabulisi loko
Why kungakwenelisi loko
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela baby)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngathi sekuzofika langikhathala khona
Ngathi sengizoyehla lenqola
Sesilwa kakhulu sjabule kancane
Sbanga into engesusa umsindo ngento encane
Nento engekho sekuyinjwayelo
No no no no no no no no
Ndinengqondo zokthatha into zami ngigoduke Mazwai
Ngeke ngeke ngiyabonga this shit I don't need it
Mina ngithanda wena wedwa
Why kungakujabulisi loko
Why kungakwenelisi loko
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela baby)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga (Ngeke ngiqambe amanga)
Ngikthanda impela (Ngikthanda impela baby)
Kodwa ngeke ngivume (Ngeke)
Udlale ngami (Ngeke ngeke ngeke)
Ngeke ngiqambe amanga
Ngikthanda impela
Kodwa ngeke ngivume
Udlale ngami

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
