Lyrics and translation Kid X feat. Shwi Nomtekhala & Makwa - Mtan 'Omuntu

Mtan 'Omuntu

Ngabe uzalwa ngubani uzalwa ngubani
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila

Yazi uthando luyisiqalekiso umangabe ungenamali ezweni
(Ngathi sisebanzis' umuthi baba)
Hayi bo
Wamuhle mtanomuntu wena
Dela owazi kini
Dela owazi nabazali bakho ntombi

WeNu
Lovey (lovey)
Mtwanomuntu (mtwanomuntu)
Awusemuhle (awusemuhle)
Ngabe uzalwa ubani, zalwa ubani
Ngithi ngiyokbheka mababy
Ngabe uzalwa ubani, zalwa ubani
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila

Kumele ube intombiyami - ntombazana lelipansula liyakufila
Kumele ube intombiyami - noma bangathini mina ngyak'dinga hier
Kumele ube intombiyami - beng' zofika kodwa maje anginatrans
Kumele ube intombiyami - ungijabulisa noma umoya wami uphans (intombiyami)

You're the hottest in the city that's without a doubt
Uzphethe fresh you're not the type ethanda ukugcwala indawo
Always show up just to show off, then you shut it down
Independent miss could be worth a couple hundred thou'
On my yearly budget uma ungafika upheke ukline uwashe
Uphinde uneke iwashingi, you got every single thing
A man can live to imagine
I'd have had you on my radar for a minute
I'm infatuated with everything about you
You're a beauty pageant queen
Wouldn't sell you dreams about things I couldn't guarantee
Falling in love, I talking 'cause it's such a bad routine
You'd fall head first
Could end up in casualty
I could be boyfriend number two
In case you need a pleasure bee
I'd been all around looking for the right time
Until I ran into a rough diamond
I'm finna change your name ngikwenze uMahlangu
Senz'abantwana, sofas'lahlane

WeNu (wenu)
Lovey (lovey)
Mtwanomuntu (mtwanomuntu)
Awusemuhle (awusemuhle)
Ngabe uzalwa ubani, zalwa ubani
Ngithi ngiyokbheka mababy
Ngabe uzalwa ubani, zalwa ubani
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila
Ngoba lelipansula liyakfila

Kumele ube intombiyami - ntombazana lelipansula liyakufila
Kumele ube intombiyami - noma bangathini mina ngyak'dinga hier
Kumele ube intombiyami - beng' zofika kodwa maje anginatrans
Kumele ube intombiyami - ungijabulisa noma umoya wami uphans (intombiyami)

Ngithande uNoyizwe, wanginik' uthando
Wangitshel' ukuthi angizomlanda ngemoto yami kubo
Ngaleso skhathi kanginayo imoto
Ngisaba ukumtshela
Oh, wena wawungenzenjani?
Akukho moto ekhaya

Yize uthando lwami
Xola nhliziyo yami
Ngoba kanginay' imoto
Yize uthando lwami
Xola nhliziyo yami
Ngoba kanginay' imoto

Uyaz ungumbulali
Wayibulala inhliziyo yami
Wabulala unembeza wami
Xola nhliziyo yami

Yazi uthando luyisiqalekiso umangabe ungenamali ezweni
Hayi bo
Wamuhle mtanomuntu mama
Dela owazi kini
Dela owazi abazali bakho Ntombi

Mele ube intombiyami - beng' zofika kodwa manje anginatrans
Kumele ube intombiyami - ungijabulisa noma umoya wami uphans (intombiyami)

Child of Man

Who are you the child of, who are you the child of?
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me

You know love is a curse if you don't have money in this world
(Like we're still using muthi, dad)
Oh no
You are beautiful, child of man
Tell me who you belong to
Tell me who your parents are, girl

WeNu
Lovey (lovey)
Child of man (child of man)
You're so beautiful (you're so beautiful)
Who are you the child of, who are you the child of?
I'm telling you I'm gonna check on the babies
Who are you the child of, who are you the child of?
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me

You gotta be my girl - girl, this fine lady is gonna kill me
You gotta be my girl - no matter what they say, I need you here
You gotta be my girl - they were gonna come, but I don't have transport
You gotta be my girl - you make me happy even when my soul is down (my girl)

You're the hottest in the city that's without a doubt
You're always fresh, you're not the type who likes to be crowded
Always show up just to show off, then you shut it down
Independent miss could be worth a couple hundred thou'
On my yearly budget, if you could come cook, clean and do the laundry
And iron the clothes, you got every single thing
A man can live to imagine
I'd have had you on my radar for a minute
I'm infatuated with everything about you
You're a beauty pageant queen
Wouldn't sell you dreams about things I couldn't guarantee
Falling in love, I talking 'cause it's such a bad routine
You'd fall head first
Could end up in casualty
I could be boyfriend number two
In case you need a pleasure bee
I'd been all around looking for the right time
Until I ran into a rough diamond
I'm finna change your name, make you Mahlangu
Let's make babies, let the sofas wear out

WeNu (wenu)
Lovey (lovey)
Child of man (child of man)
You're so beautiful (you're so beautiful)
Who are you the child of, who are you the child of?
I'm telling you I'm gonna check on the babies
Who are you the child of, who are you the child of?
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me
Because this fine lady is gonna kill me

You gotta be my girl - girl, this fine lady is gonna kill me
You gotta be my girl - no matter what they say, I need you here
You gotta be my girl - they were gonna come, but I don't have transport
You gotta be my girl - you make me happy even when my soul is down (my girl)

I loved Noyizwe, she gave me love
She told me that she would pick me up from home in my car
At that time I didn't have a car
I was afraid to tell her
Oh, what would you have done?
There's no car at home

Even though it's my love
Forgive my heart
Because I don't have a car
Even though it's my love
Forgive my heart
Because I don't have a car

You know you're a killer
You killed my heart
You killed my conscience
Forgive my heart

You know love is a curse if you don't have money in this world
Oh no
You are beautiful, child of man, mama
Tell me who you belong to
Tell me who your parents are, Ntombi

You gotta be my girl - they were gonna come but now I don't have transport
You gotta be my girl - you make me happy even when my soul is down (my girl)
