Ndibambe - The One Who Sings lyrics and translation



NDIBAMBE

Ndibambe

Ndibambe

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyowela kulamlambo we Dali wam


Xa sileli kunye kwezi intsuku

Andide ndifike kuwe

Ndlebe aziva

S’thulu nguwe

Undishiyile

Dali

Ndibambe

Ndibambe

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyowela kulamlambo we Dali wam


Wena ukude. Ukude okwephupho

Lebanjwa

Langa liphuma emhlabeni

Njengomlilo

Vul’ umlomo

Dali ndibambe


Ndibambe

Ndibambe

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyowela kulamlambo we Dali wam

Ndibambe

Ndibambe

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyowela kulamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam

Ndiyoyika oh lamlambo we Dali wam


ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

NDIBAMBE = HOLD ME

Hold me

Hold me

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling

I’m crossing over that river my Darling


When we lay side by side these days

I can’t seem to reach you

Ears cannot hear

The deaf one is you

You’ve left me

Darling


Hold me

Hold me

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling

I’m crossing over that river my Darling


You are far. As far as the dream of a prisoner:

Sun rising out of the earth

Like fire

Open your mouth

My beloved (and) hold me

Hold me

Hold me

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling

I’m crossing over that river my Darling


Hold me

Hold me

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling

I’m crossing over that river my Darling

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling

I’m afraid ... oh that river my Darling
