Siyizimbongi sakh’isizwe

Abanye obaba bayasikhohlisa
Abanye obaba bayasilahlekisa
ungizwe kahle dade angididekile
ngithi abanye obaba bayasidukisa
Uma senza kahle bathi sifuze bona
‘Oh my boy boy ufuze mina mfana
wami okusho ukuthi uhamba
ezinyathelweni zikayihlo’

Kodwa uma sike senza iphutha bayasiduba
bathi sidudwa omamabethu bayasivuna
bakhohlwe ukuthi ibona abajola phambi
kwethuuma sibabamba oqotsheni bathi
asibabize ngomalume nobhuti

Koze kube nini mihla namalanga lomama
ukhiqiza isiphethu sezinyembezi?
Koze kube nini mihla namalanga kulomama
kugobhoza umfula wezinyembezi?
Usunakene nalaba othi asibabize ngomam’ncane
awusho ngani ukuthi ibona omam’khulu ngoba
lona owashada naye wafunga izithembiso phambi
komfundisi usumlahlise okwenyongo
yenyathi.

Usengumtshingo ubethwa ngubani.
Minake nezingane zakwethu usenzelani
suffice it I say wake wasenzelani?
Ubhizi wondlana nezingane zamanye
amadoda sewaphenduka i-ATM labo nondindwa
nabangani bamanga dadonsa kuwena.

Baba bangaki odadewethu nabafwethu
obafihlile esingabazi ekhaya?
Noma ungangithembisa isibhakela anginendaba
kodwa akukho okufihliwe okungasoze kwavela
obala.
Bonke bokubona la, sonke sokubona la
nazo zonke zokubona la.
… baba ngicel’impendulo

Ngimbongi ngakh’isizwe
vumelani lesi sizwe sizwe lemiyalezo yami
Simbongi sakh’izizwe vumelani lezizizwe
zizwe lemiyalezo yalezinkondlo zethu.
Buphi ubuntu emadodeni?

Angilahlekelwe inhlonipho,
Ukukhula kwami okusho inhlakanipho
Kudala ngithuli ngoba ngisaba isibhakela, impama,
unyawo nokungaphakelwa uma ngike ngabuza.
Ma anginayo imali yokudl’esikoleni
impendulo izinyembezi ubab’akanazo izinseka
ingakho engangiseki

Mama mama ungakhali ubaba komqoqa ukuhlwa
Mama mama ubaba komqoqa ukufa.
Ilamapiki namafosholo nalomhlabathi
kobe sekuphenduke ikhaya lakhe.

Nalo ekade ngithembele kuyena usemile
izimpiko wangiphika ngoba anginamali,
angigqoki kahle, ngihamba ngezinyawo
anginamoto.
Usethole abazomnika ngakho konke naye
abagixabeze ngakho konke futhi bonke.
...
Usedayisa ngomzimba wakhe akhohlwe ukuthi
uyithempeli lophezulu usehambela phezulu
uhlala emaflethini lapho ngingeke ngifike
khona mina.
Usekhohliwe ukuthi awukho umngwcabo
eflethini uzobuya somgwcaba la.

Bobe sebemulaxazile ngoba vele bayilamagovu
akhonkothayo, nezimbodla ezibhodla amazwi
enkohliso nezethembiso zembumbiso nemiqondo
ehlale iqhonyelwe.
Bavukelwe ...uthando olungekho ngoba bahlale
bebheke njalo ngaphansi kwesiketi
ngoba imiqondo yabo ihlale ingqanyelwe ucansi

Ngimbongi ngakh’isizwe
vumelani lesi sizwe sizwe lemiyalezo yami
Simbongi sakh’izizwe vumelani lezizizwe
zizwe lemiyalezo yalezinkondlo zethu.

We are the poets we are building this,
that, these the...the...the
those nations.
Let these people perceive and conceive
the notion of justice and give birth to
the spirit of ubuntu.
Buphi ubuntu emadodeni?
Buphi ubuntu emadodeni?




Egameni lezimbongi
Kubona bonke laba abasilalelayo abasikhuthazayo-
Siyabonga
Kubona bonke laba abasigxeka ngokwakhayo-
Ukwanda kwaliwa umthakathi.
Kubona bonke laba abasicindezelayo
… asinendaba

Ngimbongi ngakh’isizwe
vumelani isizwe sizwe lemiyalezo yami
Simbongi sakh’izizwe vumelani izizwe
zizwe lemiyalezo yalezinkondlo zethu

Ngoba sesila emhlabeni sesihamba

Uyazi ukuthi ngicabanga ngaye.
Ngimuthanda okudlula yonk’into -

For now it may seem less but one day if not weeks

Lo muntu … lo .. lo
Ngisho wena muntu
Ngiyamu …… uthando
Hey lo muntu

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

Yo ntombazane
Uyazi uyangihlanyisa
Futhi uyangihlahlamelisa
Amahips ,amalips kuvele kuthi angikukisse
Those sexy eyes drive me crazy
Kuvele kuthi angikwenze isex
Sengizwa ngishiselwa nayigazi
Kodwa y ungihlanyisa ka so
Uyazi phela ngawe ngingazishaya ziphele ezelobolo
Twenty five wezinkukhu it what you deserve
Kodwa ngoba uwena ungcono u -6 wezimbuzi
Never izinkomo khohlwa
Phela neyakho inkomo ayisaphelele
Ku Joe uwena, ku Mandla, uwena, ku Myende uwena…. Ko yini ube isifebe
Yo phela iqembu lebhola leli
With the reserves ayi -3 ngaphezulu
Abafana basendaweni sebeyayazi bonke imbobo yakho
but still y ungihlanyisa so
phela I don’t mind ukukwenza umfazi
Phela uSihle no Anele bona laba owabazala ngingabakhulisa
Not forgetting u Sanele noSqgemeza
No …no I have made a mistake
Angeke ngikwenze umfazi vele kade waba uye
Mina sengingakwenza umfazikazi
Noma nje intombi yami yokugcina
Kwenginazo
Mhu u kodwa ngingaze ngithi ngizokwenza eyokugcina
Uma kade uyinto yokubalwa yini wena?
Ube nje ungunamba bani kodwa
Uma ziphelele zizonke?
Phela nami ngicela kufana nabo o-joe no mandla, ngicela phale ungizwiswa
Mangabe isekhona yona i-taste
But I don’t think induku yami izofitha
I’ll try and use isibhakela
Although naso ngodinga zibe ningi
Kodwa akunani ngizobhangqa amacondom
Not the usually one ngidinga at least enziwe ngesikhumba senkomo
Kodwa y ungihlanyisa ka so
I love u …
No ..no I wanna make love with you
Just satify my feelings
Im sure nawe uyafuna, vele uhlezi ugovozile
Uveze obala i-anaconda

No matter what they say
The fact is ukuthi uyangihlanyisa
Futhi uyangihalisa
Vele ungivulele maqede ngizenelise
I remember sisakhula sidlala omasgcosi
You were my breakfast, lunch and Supper
Hha ntombazane yakamakhelwane

LOVE

Sbu: Kudala ngibezwa bekhuluma ngothando
Thinking ukuthi bayayazi lento abakhuluma ngayo
They say bayathanda but abazi yini uthando?
My brother can you tell me what is love?

Sihle: love is nothing till we make it to be something
Love does not exist till you make it exist.
Love can be created but never destroyed
You can’t touch love but you can feel it

Sbu: Hhayi angiyazi mina lento
Ngike ngizwe inhliziyo yami ishaya ngamandla
I can even feel my blood running through my vains
Ingabe wuthand lolu noma cha.

Sihle: Suka lapha wena,
Kanti awuyifundanga yini ibiology at school
Lokhu okushoyo is just blood circulation.
Love is about imaginations
It has nothing to do with the movement of your blood.

Sbu: Okush’ ukuthi this thing of love is complicated
Nakhu ulokhu ushona le nale
Ungangitsheli into eqondile

Sihle: Love is a simple thing
It is us who complicate it.
And it end up complicating our lives
Anyway mfana kithi my advise to you
Ukuthi stay away from this love thing
Wena usemncane kabi
Uthando lukankulunkulu nolwabazali bakho ikhona okusakufanele.

Sivukile isishimane

Khuluma ngithule, thula ngikhulume
Zithini ezakamumva?
Bathini abazishwashwathayo?
Bathi isishimane sivukile emaqandeni
sesizame kwaze kwalunga
Bengisafihle induku emqubeni bengisazulisile
Kodwa ngasho ngathi loze line nasemhlabeni
wezishimane amaNdiya azotshala
ihalaal khona nami ngizodla upelepele
ngize ngibe nesishwapha kodwa mina owami
ngeke ngimgone emphakathini
ngizohlonipha ngizomgona ehlathini

Baqinisile abazishwashwathayo yize bekade
bengicindezela phela nami sengizocindezela
...ezinye izishimane
Usizi lwesishimane seluphenduke injabulo
yesishimane sengihleka kuze kuvele elomhlathi
kudala ngithanda kodwa ngiyaqala ukuthandwa
heyi uNkulunkulu ubathanda bonke abantu bakhe.

Uma ngiyomvala ngixegelwa ibhulukwe,
amadolo nomunye umbhemu ophuma kuphela
uma ngisendlini encanyana okwathiwa ekhaya
angingamkhiphi ngoba wandisa abantu eMzansi
ngendlela edid'uSathane

Angisheshe ngivalelise phela ngeskill sothando
ziyasala ngisemusha kulendima yezothando
nalomabebeza angaze acele isinqanda umqansa
Habe! nay'ingulube inginonela

Uvukil'uMphumeleli
Heyi mina ngis'shimane
