Текст и перевод песни Smoosh - Kwashona Ilanga

Kwashona Ilanga

Kazi uzwa abanjani
Kazi uphendula abanjani nje
Sekukaningi mina ngithandaza
Kobanini ngihleli ngikhala

Nginokungena eStage ku-empty esiswini
They say exposure is just for free
Ngi-perform ngiphume ku-empty still
Ngijabulise two or three
Soon abangangazi manje bazongicela amafeature
Acting like they'd always believed.

Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona behubhana nami
Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona befuna imali

Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule phela
Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule
Nomusic manje kumele ungibhadale
Kunini ngispana manje kumele ngikhokhelwe

Nomphakathi awungihloniphi
Uthi ngiliphara
Nomastende silwa njalo naye udinga imali
Umama ukhala njalo uthi angibuye ekhaya
Uthi angibuye ekhaya

Noma ungathi impande yesono kodwa nawe uyayidinga imali
Mina ngikhulele esonto and bekuhlezi kubizwa imali
Kwesinye isikhathi ngizibuza, sinikelelani singenalutho sinikelelani

Besilushova lodwa uphuthu awazi wena
Umane ukhulumele futhi awazi wena
Sekukaningi mina ngithandaza
Awazi wena, awazi wena

Senginokuvala amehlo ami, ngivele ngikhale
Akukho engingakusho kuwena, wazi konke manje
Manje ngiphelelwe ushatini engabe ngizodlani, ngabe ngizodlani

Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona behubhana nami
Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona befuna imali

Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule phela
Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule
Nomusic manje kumele ungibhadale
Kunini ngispana manje kumele ngikhokhelwe

Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona behubhana nami
Sekuze kwashona ilanga labantu bona befuna imali

Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule phela
Wena nkosi manje kumele ungiphendule
Nomusic manje kumele ungibhadale
Kunini ngispana manje kumele ngikhokhelwe

The Sun Has Set

How do you feel?
How do you even respond?
I've been praying so many times
For so long I've been sitting here crying

I go on stage with an empty stomach
They say exposure is just for free
I perform and leave still empty
Having entertained two or three
Soon those who don't know me now will be asking for features
Acting like they'd always believed.

The sun has set on those who used to mock me
The sun has set on those who only want money

Lord, you have to answer me now
Lord, you have to answer me
My music has to pay me now
I've been hustling for so long, I have to get paid

The community doesn't respect me
They say I'm a failure
We always fight with the police, he also needs money
My mother always cries, saying I should come back home
Saying I should come back home

Even if you say it's the root of all evil, you also need money
I grew up in church and they always asked for money
Sometimes I ask myself, what are we offering if we have nothing to offer?

We used to only eat maize meal porridge, you don't know
You just talk, and you don't know
I've been praying so many times
You don't know, you don't know

I just close my eyes and cry
There's nothing I can't tell you, you know everything now
Now I'm out of ideas, what will I eat, what will I eat?

The sun has set on those who used to mock me
The sun has set on those who only want money

Lord, you have to answer me now
Lord, you have to answer me
My music has to pay me now
I've been hustling for so long, I have to get paid

The sun has set on those who used to mock me
The sun has set on those who only want money

Lord, you have to answer me now
Lord, you have to answer me
My music has to pay me now
I've been hustling for so long, I have to get paid
