Lyrics and translation Kelly Khumalo - Empini




Empini
In War
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Kutheni na?
Why?
Yini udangele, konakele?
What's wrong, what's broken?
Amathemba akho, wonke 'wabeka kimi
All your hopes, you placed them on me
Awazi na? Abant' abayifuni intw' enhle
Don't you know? People don't want good things
Bayamangaza, bak'limaza bak'buk' emehlweni
They surprise you, they hurt you, they look you in the eye
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Abany' abantu, umgosi baphila ngawo
These people, gossip is their life
Ubezwe bethi, "Awus'nik' amagqabantshintshi"
You heard them say, "Don't give her any attention"
Amathemba akho, wonke 'wabeka kimi
All your hopes, you placed them on me
Awazi na? Abant' abayifuni intw' enhle
Don't you know? People don't want good things
Bayamangaza, bak'limaza bak'buk' emehlweni
They surprise you, they hurt you, they look you in the eye
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Mina nawe akekh' omunye
You and I, there's no one else
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
Ng'yathemb' uyabona
I trust you see
Sofela khon' empini
We will die in this war
Ngeke baskhona
They won't be able to
Lingashon' emini
Extinguish it in broad daylight
