[Intro - DJ-friendly 8-bar filtered build]
(Filtered synths, distant vocal hums)
Breath in the room, lights low — log-drum taps, piano stabs rise.
(Spoken, soft) Sengiyakhathala — but the dance keeps me moving.
[Verse 1]
Ngivuka ekuseni ngicabanga ngawe,
Amakhefu enhliziyo agcwele ukukhathazeka,
Izandla zami zifuna ukuthinta ukuthula,
Kodwa ukuthula kuyahleba lapho uhlala khona.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ngidlala nomoya, ngizama ukuphunyuka,
Amazwi akho angibuza: uyaphi? uyaphi?
Ngikhipha umoya, ngizwa i-log drum izwa inhliziyo yami.
[Chorus]
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
[Chorus Ad-libs / Call & Response]
(Lead) Ay suka wena! (Group) Uyangikhathaza!
(Lead, stacked harmonies) Ha! Ha! — (Response, percussive) Yeh! Yeh!
Short percussive chant: Sha! Sha! (clap) Sha! Sha!
[Verse 2]
Ngibuka ama-streetlight, ngicabanga impilo yakho,
Kuhlala kuba khona omunye lapho ngidinga khona wena,
Ngifuna inkululeko, ngifuna ngenene inhlonipho,
Kodwa imfihlo yakho iyaphinda, iyaphinda njalo.
[Bridge - Emotional lift]
Ngivele ngikhathele, sengiyakhathala — kodwa ibhasi liyashaya,
Isigqi siyangithatha, izinhliziyo zisebenza njengomoya,
Ngicela uxolo, ngicela ukunqoba lokhu okungangikhathaza,
Ngibekezele — kodwa manje sengidinga ukuthula.
[Breakdown - 16-bar for log-drums & piano stabs]
(Instrumental: log-drum groove, chopped vocal sample of hook, piano stab motifs)
(Lead whisper) Sengiyakhathala... (Echo reduced, reverb heavy)
(Chanted hook loop under beat)
[Chorus - Full, club lift]
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
wena Yaz uyangikhathaza ,njalo mangikubuka ngifikelwa ukukhala,iznhliziyo ayisakwazi ukubekezela,hlezi wena njalo unabafana ,ay suka wena uyangikhathaza
[Outro - DJ tag friendly]
(Filtered outro with fading piano stabs and log-drum echo)
(Spoken) Sengiyakhathala — kodwa ngiyazulazula,
Final tag: (whispered, looped) Ay suka wena... uyangikhathaza... (fade)
