Big Zulu feat. Mduduzi - Inhlupheko - перевод текста песни на английский

Ayi shun'wenkabi (ngizomosha)

Oh, excuse me, young man (I will wash him)

Ayi sawubona mtanami

Oh, hello my child

Ngithemba okuthi uyaphila

I hope you are well

Ngokwe gama nguDoris

According to the name, it's Doris

Ngiyabonga usuze wa fika

Thank you for finally coming

Mzukulu, leth' amanzi ukutheng' icold-drink ngyafisa

Grandson, please fetch water, I'd like to buy a cold drink, I'm thirsty

Kodwa ikati lilele ezikho

But the cat is sleeping on them

Sibong' umphefumulo masiphila

We thank the soul, we are alive

Mtanami angixolise, ukuk'moshela isikhathi

My child, please forgive me for wasting your time

Okungezeka ukuthi umatasa

It's possible that you are busy

Kodwa ngeke ngithath' isikathi

But I won't take much of your time

Mzukulu, awleth' icansi

Grandson, please bring a chair

Umalume ake ahlale phansi

Let your uncle sit down

Angazi ng'zoqalaphi

I don't know where to start

Kodwa ng'celi ukuqala phansi

But please let me start from the beginning

Mangithi ngiya bheka, umama ugqwele usizi

When I look, your mother is filled with sorrow

Kodwa imbokodo yokuqina le iyibambe ishisa insimbi

But the grindstone of strength, she holds the hot iron

Mzukulu uyahlakula kukha'l igeja ugcwel' insimbi

Grandson, you are diligent, even when the hoe breaks, you fill it with iron

Sesizwa ileya nkomo ukuthi silale sidlile ubisi

We already hear that cow saying we should sleep having eaten milk

Mtanami angikusho lokhu

My child, I'm not telling you this

Mina ngazalelwa ukuhlupheka

I was born to suffer

Ngiyinhlekisa emphakhathini nginana impuphu neshugela

I'm a joke in the community, I have porridge with sugar

Abanye bathi ngiya thakatha

Others say I'm bragging

Ngithule bengisukela

I keep quiet, they mock me

Angiyazi injabulo

I don't know happiness

Kodwa eZulwini ngiyokhululeka

But in Heaven, I will be relieved

Kuyozeze kube nini, isimo singashintshi?

Until when will the situation not change?

Inhlupheko, ngikhala eb'suku ne mini

Poverty, I cry day and night

Ngothemba kuwe wedwa, mdali wami

I trust in you alone, my creator

We-Jesu nguwe ithemba lami

Oh Jesus, you are my hope

Yebo, kunzima, nethemba lingiphelele

Yes, it's hard, and hope is fading

Lobubuhlungu nesimo ngisamukele

This pain and situation I accept

Imizamo yami iyophela kuwe

My efforts will end with you

Ngizophumula xa ndifika kuwe

I will rest when I reach you

Intokozo, mina iyami inzima

Happiness, for me it's difficult

Njegoba ubona amathuna

When I bend down, I see graves

Ay bonke la ekhaya bangishiya

Everyone here at home left me

Lomtwana omsehlana yena ubabakhe wamphika

This little one next to me, his father denied him

Kusele mina neMzukulu

It's just me and Grandson left

Masihamba kuyosala inxiwa

Let's go, the hyena will remain

Ngyazi isisho sithi "Alikho ithuna lendlala"

I know the saying, "There's no grave for hunger"

Lomtwana engimtetile, unina wamshiya ekhala

This child I'm carrying, his mother left him crying

Lona omdala uhlale ebuza, "Ukuphi umama?"

This older one always asks, "Where is mom?"

Wahamba eyofuna itoho

She went to look for a job

Akaphindanga wabuya ekhaya

She never came back home

Mtanami, kunzima kunokuphela iviki ngadlile

My child, it's hard to go a week without eating

Ngikhalela uMzukulu abuye eskoleni elambile

I cry for Grandson, he comes back from school hungry

Kodwa usebenza kanzima

But he works hard

Ukuba nekusasa eliqhakazile

To have a bright future

Ukuthi uphuma enhluphekweni

To get out of poverty

Kodwa ezifundweni udlal' ephasile

But in his studies, he excels

Eqinisweni, mtanami mina ngyafisa ubaba angithathe

In fact, my child, I wish my father would take me

Kodwa abazukulu mina ngeke ngibalahle

But my grandchildren, I will never abandon them

Uyazi isifiso sami ukuthi bafunde baphase

You know my desire is for them to learn and succeed

Nali ithawula, mtanami

Here's a towel, my child

Bengaqondile ukuthi ukhale

I didn't mean for you to cry

Kuyoze kube nini, isimo singashintshi?

Until when will the situation not change?

Inhlupheko, ngikhala eb'suku ne mini

Poverty, I cry day and night

Ngothemba kuwe wedwa, mdali wami

I trust in you alone, my creator

Ey we-Jesu nguwe ithemba lami

Oh Jesus, you are my hope

Yebo, kunzima, nethemba lingiphelele

Yes, it's hard, and hope is fading

Lobubuhlungu nesimo ngisamukele

This pain and situation I accept

Imizamo yami iyophela kuwe

My efforts will end with you

Ngizophumula xa ndifika kuwe

I will rest when I reach you

Liyaphuma, liyashona

It rises, it sets

Kimi akuna mehluko

For me, there's no difference

Yebo, ekukhuleni kwami nami ngakhula ngina amaphupho

Yes, in my growth, I too grew up with dreams

Ngyathula nje, ngilalele enkozweni besho amahubo

I just keep quiet, listening to the hymns sung in happiness

Isiqalekiso sami ubaba wabamba elentulo

My curse is that my father held the food

Kwakhala inyonini layikhaya basiqalekisa

The mourning dove cried, they cursed our home

Amathuna anele ebaleni kushoda elami ngivalelise

There are enough graves in the yard, mine is missing, it's waiting for me

Bengaqondile ukudabukisa

I didn't mean to sadden you

Ngyaxolisa mtanami, akuyona inhloso nje ukubalisa

I apologize my child, it's not the intention, just to tell the story

Namhlanje mtanami, asazi siyolala sidleni

Today, my child, we don't know if we will sleep having eaten

Into enokungisiza ukuyothengisa erenkeni

The only thing that can help is to go sell at the rank

Ngizivulele itafula ngiqokelele osheleni

I open a table and collect cents

Kokunye nginokulala khona

I can sleep there sometimes

Ngivuke ngithengise ekuseni

Wake up and sell in the morning

Kunzima mtanami, sidla imbuya ngothi

It's hard, my child, we eat pumpkin leaves with mielie meal

Angilazi icala lami, emhlabeni ngiyi soni

I don't know my crime, on earth I am a disgrace

Kodwa sengivumile, injabula angiyitholi

But I've accepted, I don't find happiness

Angikukhulule mtanami uhambe ilang lingashoni

Let me release you, my child, go before the sun sets

Kuyoze kube nini, isimo singashintshi?

Until when will the situation not change?

Inhlupheko, ngikhala eb'suku ne mini

Poverty, I cry day and night

Ngothemba kuwe wedwa, mdali wami

I trust in you alone, my creator

Ey we-Jesu nguwe ithemba lami

Oh Jesus, you are my hope

Yebo, kunzima, nethemba lingiphelele

Yes, it's hard, and hope is fading

Lobubuhlungu nesimo ngisamukele

This pain and situation I accept

Imizamo yami iyophela kuwe

My efforts will end with you
