yeah…
ndzi ha ku lava mama…
2021… everything changed…
since you’ve been gone mama, life don’t feel the same
everyday i wake up, carrying this pain
things just standing still, nothing moving right
even in the daytime, it feels like night
ndzi famba ndzi ri ndzexe, mbilu ya mina yi vava
a ku na loyi a ndzi twisisaka ku fana na wena mama
(breaking down slowly, i’m losing my way)
no direction in this life, every night i pray
batho ba re nako e a alafa… mara nna? ga e dire
(maybe time heals, but not for me…)
ke sa go hloka mama, le mo lefatsheng ke timetse
but i’m still breathing… (still breathing)
though i’m barely holding on…
heart is heavy… (so heavy)
since the day you’ve been gone…
ndzi ha ku lava mama, a swi twisiseki
why you had to go, it don’t make sense to me
mbilu yanga yi lila, every night i cry
wish i had more time, didn’t say goodbye
but i thank god for the love i still have
my wife and my kids, they hold me back
from falling apart, when i feel so lost
they carry my heart through the storm and the dark
if it wasn’t for them, i don’t know where i’d be
probably drowning deep in this misery
my wife so strong, she be lifting me up
encouraging me when life gets tough
ndo livhuwa mbilu yavho, vha khou ntshimbidza
(i'm grateful for them, they guide me forward)
even when i’m weak, they remind me i’m stronger
but still… mama… i call your name
in every prayer, in every pain
you were the only one who really understood
now i’m trying to survive, just doing what i could
still i’m hoping… (i’m hoping)
that one day things will align
for my family… (my family)
better days we gon’ find
ndzi ha ku lava mama, a swi twisiseki
why you had to go, it don’t make sense to me
mbilu yanga yi lila, every night i cry
wish i had more time, didn’t say goodbye
but i thank god for the love i still have
my wife and my kids, they hold me back
from falling apart, when i feel so lost
they carry my heart through the storm and the dark
they say time heals… but i don’t feel it yet
maybe i’m not ready… maybe i’m not there yet
memories of you… they never fade away
ndzi ta tshama ndzi ku rhandza… forever and a day
u do dzula mbilu yanga… lini na lini…
ndzi ha ku lava mama…
still need you by my side…
but i’ll be strong for them…
until the day i see you again…
yeah…
ndzi ta ya emahlweni… for my family…
but you’ll always be my home…
