Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xolis' inhliziyo yakho mnganami
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Xola mnganami xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda
Mngani wami bamb' isandla sami
Bengingathandi nami uma usukhala njalo
Ngizwile bethi udlale ngothando lwakho
Ukuhlephulile ukuphul inhliziyo yakho
Amantombazana ubewashintsha-shintsha
Okwamasokisi wena nje ubekungcolisa
Benihlezi nixabana ubehlezi exolisa
Kwasekuqaleni lento ibisolisa
Lamanxeba akho ngizowapholisa
Noma uthe uwile ngiyazi ubuphosisa
Uthe uyakuthanda kodwa ubekukhohlisa
Ubehlezi ekukhalisa wena ubumjabulisa nje
Impumputhe uthando lwakho akalubonanga
Noma belusinda akaluphathanga
Noma mhlambe ube nenkinga akuthandanga
Bengimshayel' ucingo akalubambanga
Xola mnganami ngyazi ubumthanda
Kepha kunini ekudlala um'bamba
Kunini ekukhalisa umxolela ekshaya
Impela ubumthanda kepha ubuzophambana
Xolis' inhliziyo yakho
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xolis' inhliziyo yakho mnganami
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Xola mnganami xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Xola mnganami
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda
Xola mnganami ngiyaz ubumthanda
Kepha phela ubusuhlezi ukhala
Uhlezi umbamba namantombazana
Nezandla zakho besezihlezi zibanda
Kudala ngilindile ukuthi uzomshiya nihlukane
Besenihlezi nixabana ningqubuzana
Ngyabona benizogcina ngokubulalana
Kona impela beningasoze niphilisane
Ubekukhafulela ekubiza ngamagama
Beniphikisana beningahambiselani
Benijikisana beniqophisana
Bekungekho ngisho kwakusizana
Noma kuba uhlalile bekusazofana
Ngyabona mina ubengasoze ashintshe lomfana
Usitshela ukuthi ulubambo lwakho
kepha usimoshile iskhathi sakho
Kodwa phela lunjalo uthando
Mtshele ayibuyise leyo nhliziywana
Nothing for mahhala, niks mapha
Xola mnganami akasale esesala
Xolis' inhliziyo yakho
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xolis' inhliziyo yakho mnganami
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Xola mnganami xola mnganami
Xola xola xola xola
Xola mnganami
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda
The song Xola by Sjava is a plea for forgiveness and an acknowledgement of the pain caused by a past relationship. The title itself means "forgive me" in isiZulu. The repetition of the lines "Xolis' inhliziyo yakho, ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami" (forgive my heart, I love you forgive me my friend) emphasizes the importance of the forgiveness being sought. The second verse speaks to the confusion and hurt caused by the breakup, with the lines "Impumputhe uthando lwakho akalubonanga, Noma belusinda akaluphathanga" (the heart cannot see love, even if the ears hear the praise). The third verse is a plea for reconciliation, with the lines "Usitshela ukuthi ulubambo lwakho, kepha usimoshile iskhathi sakho" (you tell me your love is strong, but you never had time for me). The song ends with a final plea for forgiveness and the repeated lines of the chorus.

Xolis' inhliziyo yakho
Forgive me for invading your heart
Ngiyaz' ubumthanda xola mnganami
I love you, forgive me friend
Xola xola xola xola
Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive
Xola mnganami xola mnganami
Forgive me, my friend, forgive me
Mngani wami bamb' isandla sami
My friend, take my hand
Bengingathandi nami uma usukhala njalo
I didn't love it when you cry like this
Ngizwile bethi udlale ngothando lwakho
I heard that they play with your love
Ukuhlephulile ukuphul inhliziyo yakho
It hurts you to have your heart played with
Amantombazana ubewashintsha-shintsha
Girls change all the time
Okwamasokisi wena nje ubekungcolisa
As for you, you just tease me
Benihlezi nixabana ubehlezi exolisa
We sit and laugh at each other, and you stay teasing me
Kwasekuqaleni lento ibisolisa
This thing has been hurting you from the start
Lamanxeba akho ngizowapholisa
I will heal your wounds
Noma uthe uwile ngiyazi ubuphosisa
Even when you say you're fine, I know you're hurting
Uthe uyakuthanda kodwa ubekukhohlisa
You say you love me, but you're pretending
Ubehlezi ekukhalisa wena ubumjabulisa nje
You always tease me, but it makes you happy
Impumputhe uthando lwakho akalubonanga
Cupid doesn't see your love
Noma belusinda akaluphathanga
Even if you hide it, it won't go away
Noma mhlambe ube nenkinga akuthandanga
Even if there are problems, you still love me
Bengimshayel' ucingo akalubambanga
I called you, but you didn't answer
Xola mnganami ngyazi ubumthanda
Forgive me my friend, I know you love me
Kunini ekudlala um'bamba
You always play hard to get
Kunini ekukhalisa umxolela ekshaya
You always tease me and make me angry
Impela ubumthanda kepha ubuzophambana
You truly love me, but you act like you don't
Xola mnganami ngiyaz ubumthanda
Forgive me my friend, I know you love me
Kepha phela ubusuhlezi ukhala
But you always cry for no reason
Uhlezi umbamba namantombazana
You stay holding hands with girls
Nezandla zakho besezihlezi zibanda
Your hands always stay in theirs
Kudala ngilindile ukuthi uzomshiya nihlukane
I have been waiting, knowing that you'll leave me and go with others
Besenihlezi nixabana ningqubuzana
We sit and laugh at each other, talking nonsense
Ngyabona benizogcina ngokubulalana
I see that we will hurt each other
Kona impela beningasoze niphilisane
But in reality, we will never leave each other
Ubekukhafulela ekubiza ngamagama
You are always jealous when I call someone else
Beniphikisana beningahambiselani
We get angry with each other, but we never separate
Benijikisana beniqophisana
We joke with each other and tease each other
Bekungekho ngisho kwakusizana
It's like we only exist for each other
Noma kuba uhlalile bekusazofana
Even if we live apart, we will still be the same
Ngyabona mina ubengasoze ashintshe lomfana
I see that I will never change this boy
Usitshela ukuthi ulubambo lwakho
You tell me that your love is strong
kepha usimoshile iskhathi sakho
But you've wasted your time
Kodwa phela lunjalo uthando
But the truth is, there is love
Mtshele ayibuyise leyo nhliziywana
Tell me not to bring back those memories
Nothing for mahhala, niks mapha
Nothing is for free, nothing is easy
Xola mnganami akasale esesala
Forgive me my friend, don't leave me behind

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
