LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Hlala nam nzwakazi
Noba ndiya kuxaka
impilo yami ngaphandle kwakho
ayiphelelanga...
ndinika wena isandla sami
sibambe njalo sukuyeka
noba amandla asewekho
andiphelelanga
[Pre-chorus]
Ndiyabuya ×2
mamela ×2
iphutha lami kukushiya wena
bambelela ngothando
ngoba nam ngiyakuthanda
iphutha lami kukushiya wena
[Chorus]
Nontsikelelo ndiya buya
Nontsikelelo ndifuna wena...
andilali ebusuku ndicinga ngawe
nontsikelelo ndiya buya
[Verse 2]
the many times I just can get hold of you
I know you're thinking
slowly replaying the times that we had
noba ungahamba noba ungangishiya
inhliziyo yam ifuna wena...

[@LoyisoGijana]

[@azoletule4900]

It's a song dedicated to a lady called Nontsikelelo. He says that he's coming back to her, that his only mistake was leaving her. He goes on to saying that he can't sleep at night and the only thing he thinks of is her. He says his life is not complete without her, and is giving her his hand to hold. He is basically assuring Nontsikelelo that he is coming back to her and his heart longs for her. I tried my best explaining the song. It's a Xhosa with a mix of Zulu there and there. It's beautiful 🙂

he's absolutely amazing!!! his versions of lay me down by Sam Smith is still the best performance on South African Idols, and I feel this why so many South African Idols slip through the cracks because most of them don't come close to what this young man can do. from his first audition, Jealous by Nick Jonas I knew that 16 year old had something special and hopefully now the world will get to see it. #keepgrowing #keeplearning #keepmakinggoodmusic I am you're biggest fan! #respect
