I'm In Love
The Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kanti ndoyik'uthetha ngoKhumbane
Heh uyokhokhoba mama
Kanti ndoyik'uthetha ngoKhumbane
Heh uyokhokhoba mama

Ngoba ndilapha nje sisimanga mntanam
Heh uyokhokhoba mama
Ngoba ndilapha nje sisimanga
Heh uyokhokhoba mama

Ho hayo ndikhwelele lebhasi yaka nongoma
Ho hayo sana lam
Ho hayo ndoyikile kodwa (Hamba mntana)
Ho hayo nohalala

Ho kwayobonel'abafana (Hamba mntana)
Ho hayo nohalala
Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna (Hamba mntana)
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam
Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna (Hamba mntana)
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam
Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam

Ho ndoyik'ulala ngoKhumbane
Heh uyokhokhoba mama
Ndithi ndoyik'uthethel'ethimbeni
Heh uyokhokhoba mama

Ho baboyik'abafana (Hamba mntana)
Heh uyokhokhoba mama
Ho undalele ntoni mntu walengoma
Ho ndoyikile mna
Ho ndoyika ntoni madodana (Hamba mntana)
Ho ndoyika ntoni bantwana

Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam
Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam

Ho bepheth'ibhuku ndabhala mna
Ho bepheth'ibhuku mntanam
Niza ngeloli mntanam
Hayi bhuti ndoyik'ukuhamba

Babethelen'ikoleka
Isimanga mntanam
Babethelen'ikoleka (Hamba mntana)
Isimanga mntanam





He uyo ndoyika lona sandlana
He uyo hoyo mama
