(Intro – softly, emotional tone)
Yebo…
Ngangingazi ukuthi lolu suku luzofika,
Lapho uthando lwethu luba yinto engasekho.
Ngangingazi ukuthi uzokhetha yena,
Kodwaa Zethu…
Waqoma uNzuzo…
---
(Verse 1)
Ngikhumbula lapho sihlala khona phansi,
Phansi kwesihlahla sothando lwethu,
Uthe mina ngiyingelosi yakho,
Uthe mina ngingaphila ngaphandle kwakho.
Kodwa manje sengiyizwa indaba,
Uthandana noNzuzo, ngathi ngiyaphupha.
Ngithi mhlawumbe yiphutha labantu,
Kodwa ngiyabona, Zethu, sekuyiqiniso.
---
(Pre-Chorus)
Ngazama ukucela ukuthi sikhulume,
Wathi angisakhathali, unomunye manje.
Ngazama ukuhleka, kodwa izinhliziyo zami zakhala,
Ngoba ngangingakulindela ukuthi ungishintshe kanje.
---
(Chorus)
Kodwaa Zethu wakhetha ukungishiya,
Waqoma uNzuzo, waphula inhliziyo yami.
Ngisazibuza, baby why you lie?
You said forever, but forever died.
Ngithi kodwaa Zethu, kungani ungishiya?
Ngithe mina nawe sizohlala phakade.
Waqoma uNzuzo, ungilibele kalula,
Kodwa ngisakuthanda, angikwazi ukukukhohlwa.
---
(Verse 2)
Ngibona izithombe zakho ku-Instagram,
Usenama-smiles, ubonakala ujabulile.
Mina ngihlala ngedwa ngibuka i-screen,
Ngizibuza ukuthi ngabe uthando lwethu lwalungelona iqiniso yini.
Ngikhumbula indlela obungibiza ngayo “my king”,
Manje ubiza uNzuzo ngalelo gama elilodwa.
Ngathi mhlawumbe izinto ziyadlula,
Kodwa lobu buhlungu abupheli.
---
(Bridge – soft piano part)
Maybe you found what you needed,
Maybe I was just a season.
But Zethu, I gave you my heart,
And you tore it apart for no reason.
Ngazinikela konke, uthando lwami lwalungelona iqhinga,
Kodwa wena wakhetha indlela engeyona eyami.
Ngisazizwa izwi lakho ebusuku,
Ngisazizwa inkumbulo yakho njalo ekuseni.
---
(Chorus – powerful, full band)
Kodwaa Zethu wakhetha ukungishiya,
Waqoma uNzuzo, waphula inhliziyo yami.
Ngisazibuza, baby why you lie?
You said forever, but forever died.
Ngithi kodwaa Zethu, kungani ungishiya?
Ngithe mina nawe sizohlala phakade.
Waqoma uNzuzo, ungilibele kalula,
Kodwa ngisakuthanda, angikwazi ukukukhohlwa.
---
(Verse 3 – rap part / spoken rhythmically)
Ngathi ngizokwakha ikusasa nawe,
Ngaphupha ngendlu, izingane, impilo yethu.
Manje wonke lawo maphupho ayaphaphama,
Ngoba wena ukhethe ukuba noNzuzo.
Ngathi sengimdala ngokweqiniso,
Kodwa inhliziyo yami isafuna wena.
Wena owathi “ngizohlala nawe till the end”,
Kodwa manje, Zethu, you’re holding his hand.
---
(Bridge 2 – emotional harmony)
Ngabe uthando lwethu lwalungelona iqiniso?
Ngabe konke engikukhumbulayo kuyamanga?
Ngabe mina nganginganele kuwe?
Kodwa Zethu, ngisakuthanda ngempela.
---
(Final Chorus – emotional, fading vocals)
Kodwaa Zethu wakhetha ukungishiya,
Waqoma uNzuzo, waphula inhliziyo yami.
Ngisazibuza, baby why you lie?
You said forever, but forever died.
Kodwaa Zethu, ngisakuthanda…
Even though you’re gone, I still feel you inside.
Ngithi kodwaa Zethu, kungani ungishiya?
Waqoma uNzuzo… kodwa mina ngisakufuna.
---
(Outro – whispered / echo)
Zethu…
Ngoba mina ngisakuthanda,
Ngisho noma sekuphelile.
Uthando lwethu luhlala kimi,
Njengezinyemb
