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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

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
