Impilo
Sengaze kuf'umuntu
Sengaze kuf'umuntu
Ngenxa yothando
Ngiyazi akukho lula
Umuntu umthande ak'tshele ukuthi uthando luphelile
Kodwa impilo kumele iqhubeke
Kuyokusiza ngani ukumgwaza
Kuyok'siza ngani ukumdubula, umshise, myekele
Kodwa impilo kumel'qhubeke
Khala some mntaka ma
Seza ndlula lezontsuku
Sisa khula sithandana
Kwakumnandi emhlabeni
Ngith'akusekho lokho
Sekuy'phupho lokho
'Thi iyanciph'imishado
Kwand'imingcwabo
Ngiyazi akukho lula
Umuntu umthande ak'tshele ukuthi uthando luphelile
Kodwa impilo kumele iqhubeke
Kuyokusiza ngani ukumgwaza
Kuyok'siza ngani ukumdubula, umshise, myekele
Kodwa impilo kumel'qhubeke
Anibize abadala, bashise impepho emsamu
Nibize nabafundisi bathandaze
Ngith'akusekho lokho siya qhuma islilo
Iyanciph'imshado kwand'imingcwabo
Ngoba akume njalo
Bazophela oh mama bethu
Bazophela oh odade kwethu
Zopheli ngane
Sekwanele, sekwanele leligazi el'chithekile selanele
Ngiyazi akukho lula
Umuntu umthande ak'tshele ukuthi uthando luphelile
Kodwa impilo kumele iqhubeke
Kuyokusiza ngani ukumgwaza
Kuyok'siza ngani ukumdubula, umshise, myekele
Kodwa impilo kumel'qhubeke
Life
I won't be with anyone
I won't be with anyone
Because of love
I know it's not easy
For someone to love you and tell you that love is over
But life must go on
How will it help to cry
How will it help to mourn, to be bitter, to be angry
But life must go on
Cry, my child
We will pass these days
We will grow and love each other
It was good on earth
I say there's no other way
It's just a dream
They say it's a wedding
And it's a lie
I know it's not easy
For someone to love you and tell you that love is over
But life must go on
How will it help to cry
How will it help to mourn, to be bitter, to be angry
But life must go on
Call the elders, burn the incense
Call the priests to pray
I say there's no other way, we will dance the dance
It's a wedding and it's a lie
Because it's not always like this
It will end, oh our mothers
It will end, oh our brothers
It will end, children
It's enough, it's enough, this spilled blood is enough
