Lyrics and Translation
Verse 1
Andinayo imali / I don't have money
Ndihluphekile / I am in misery
Thandazile / I have prayed
Kuzolunga nini / when will things be fine
Nanku ememeza / there they are shouting
Amashwa emuva /bad luck haunting them
Bunjani ubomi kwabanye bethu / how is life to some of us
Chorus
Ewe ndifile engqondweni/ yes I am dead in the mind
Inkathazo azipheli endleleni yami / my troubles never end
Yhoo yhoooo yhoo
Yhoo ii yhoo mamawe (crying for my mother basically)
Verse 02 - Ndu
Oh ilanga liyiba linye inyembezi zami ziyophenduka imvula
* (One day my tears will turn into rain)
Ithukuthuku zami zibe ibusiso izinto zibelula
* (My sweat becomes my blessings)
Sekuphele iminyaka amathuba empumelelo emphutha
