Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Syolala mina nawe, syolala sthandwa sam
Syolala
Aysuka valelis'abangan sobabona
Asambe, ayigubhe. yhe sthandwa sami syolala(syolala). yhe syolala
(Syolala)
Funa ukubhema ubusuku bonke, yimihlola yini le?
Gcwa! gcwal'imoto shay'ibheki bheke'ndlini Sisi
Wothi mawushay'ivosho, nghlanye sfika nini endlin'
Edance floor bowenza ishit awola ungishaye dizzy
Aksik'ukpaka lokhu aksiku'paka lokhu
Mntan'onjengawe yi-can't tholakala
Thinking mas'fik'endlini lomntana ng'zomenzani?
I'ma hit it, hit it, hit it,hit it, cuff it never pass it
Feeling like a blesser, cash no deposit
Ngathi lan ngizoshiya Umfazi coz of all the things you do
Mawukhumule konke ushiy'iduku ngath'uEryka Bhadu
Syolala mina nawe, syolala sthandwa sam
Syolala. (Siyolala Maa!)
Aysuka valelisa abangan sobabona
Asambe, ayigubhe. yhe sthandwa sami syolala(syolala). yhe syolala
(Syolala)
Ng'funa ukuzibona nginawe(nginawee)
Ngena emotweni sambe(Sambee). angifune lutho elizosiphazamisa
Laba ngan bakho bazong'hlanyisa, abanaw'amadoda yini!
Ababoni ukuthi unami yini ngabo
Shiya lama cider usuzo dakwa!
Masifika endlini ungas'ungishaye isandla
Sowuphuze imali yam engaka
Ngiyala! no no no, ngiyala! akusheshwe Sisi please lets go go go
Weee

I want to see you, come into my room. I don't want anything to disturb us. Those who are with you will feel left out, are they not men? They don't know that you belong to me. Leave the cider, we'll buy more. When we get to the house, don't let go of my hand. I have spent all my money. I'm hurting! No, no, no, I'm hurting! Don't be shy, sister, let's go!

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
