Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waze wamuhle ngathi uzovuka
Waze wamuhle themba lami, umuhle usuthuli ebhokisini
Waze wamuhle ngathi uzovuka
Ngathi uzovuka ungibambe futhi
Ngathi uzongisula izinyembezi futhi
Ngathi uzothi asiguqe sithandaze futhi
Ungitshel' ukuthi konke kuzoba right
Ngathi uzongisula izinyembezi futhi
Ngathi uzothi asiguqe sithandaze futhi
Ungitshel' ukuthi konke kuzoba right
I'm waiting. I'm waiting...
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you to call again
Ngigcina ukuk'bona, wathi uzongfonela
Namanje ngisalindile, ifoni isathule weh
Ngigcina ukuk'bona, wathi uzongfonela
Namanje ngisalindile, ifoni isathule weh
Ngilahlekelwe uyazi, ukuthi abantu abazi
Inhliziyo ibhlungu uyazi, ukuthi abantu abazi
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Konke ebesikuhlanganisile mina nawe emhlabeni sekuphelile
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend
Konke ebesikuhlanganisile mina nawe emhlabeni sekuphelile
See you on the other side (other side)
Maw'kuthi siyabonana ngempela mase sihambile emhlabeni
See you on the other side

Sjava also touches on the pains of betrayal and the difficulties that come with having a broken heart.

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
