Oko wahamb'eth'uzobuya
Wakhwela inqwelo ntaka
Watshona kweziy'ntaba
Ntyilo ntyilo njenge nyoni ndiya ntyiloza
Kwaphela iinyanga kwatshona amalanga
Neetshomi zami zithi undenza isbhanxa
Naselalini kuthethwa ngam'izindaba
Ntyilo ntyilo njenge nyoni ndiya ntyiloza
Oko wahamb'eth'uzobuya
Wakhwela inqwelo ntaka
Watshona kweziy'ntaba
Ntyilo ntyilo njenge nyoni ndiya ntyiloza
Mama ndincede khawund'size Mama
Tata ndincede khawund'size Tata
Intlungu zothando yaz'kubhlungu uthanda umuntu
Nami angizenzi cel'ungisize Mama
Mama ndincede khawund'size Mama
Tata ndincede khawund'size Tata
Intlungu zothando yaz'kubhlungu uthanda umuntu
Nami angizenzi cel'ungisize Mama
Heee... heee... heee Mama
Heee.... heee... heee Mama
Cel'ungisize Mama
Heeee Mama, heee Mama
Cel'ungisize Mama... Heee Mam

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Ever since he left and said he would return
He boarded a plane
and flew over the mountains
Twee, twee, twee like a bird I’m tweeting
For months the sun went down
Even my friends say you are my making me a fool
I’ve turned into a talk of the village
Twee, twee, twee like a bird I’m tweeting
Ever since he left and said he would return
He boarded a plane
and flew over the mountains
Twee, twee, twee like a bird I’m tweeting
Mother help me, please intervene
Father help me, please intervene
The pain of love hurts when you love someone
I'm not even asking you to help me, Mom
Mother help me, please intervene
Father help me, please intervene
The pain of love hurts when you love someone
I'm not even asking you to help me, Mom
Yes indeed I agree
Let me always be near you
Just make life easier, really easy I agree
Yes indeed I agree
Let me always be near you
Just make life easier, really easy I agree
Ever since he left and said he would return
He boarded a plane
and flew over the mountains
Twee, twee, twee like a bird I’m tweeting
For months the sun went down
Even my friends say you are my making me a fool

Twee, twee, twee like a bird I’m tweeting
Mother help me, please intervene

The pain of love hurts when you love someone

Mother help me, please intervene
Father help me, please intervene
The pain of love hurts when you love someone

Yes indeed I agree
Let me always be near you
Just make life easier, really easy I agree
Yes indeed I agree
Let me always be near you
Just make life easier, really easy I agree
