Mzukulu Isesheli Lyrics English Translation
A young man courted me
He said he loved me
Just as I was about to accept him, he vanished—he disappeared
He disappeared
He disappeared
Please send him my regards
A young man courted me
He said he loved me
Just as I was about to accept him, he vanished—he disappeared
He disappeared
He disappeared
Please send him my regards
Why aren’t you courting me anymore, my suitor?
Why aren’t you courting me anymore, my suitor?
Why aren’t you courting me anymore?
Why aren’t you courting me anymore?
I ran into a problem
I courted a young woman
She said she would accept me, but now she doesn’t; instead, she asks me for money
Where does money come into it?
Is it a matter of courting with money?
I ran into a problem
I courted a young woman
She said she would accept me, but now she doesn’t; instead, she asks me for money
Where does money come into it?
Is it a matter of courting with money? You aren’t dating me, yet you’re busy asking me for favors
You aren’t dating me, yet you’re busy asking me for favors
Oh, my dear
Oh, my dear
Forgive me, my dear; I didn’t know.
I’m new to Johannesburg.
Back home in Ulundi, when we woo someone, we do it by the river—
Not at a restaurant,
Not at La Parada.
Forgive me, my dear; I didn’t know.
Forgive me, my dear; I didn’t know.
I’m new to Johannesburg (I thought I’d see you).
Back home in Ulundi, when we woo someone, we do it by the river (I thought I’d see you).
Not at a restaurant,
Not at La Parada (I looked around).
Forgive me; I didn’t know (I looked around).
(I thought I’d see you)
(I thought I’d see you)
Why aren’t you wooing me anymore, my love? (I thought I’d see you)
Why aren’t you wooing me anymore, my love? (I looked around)
Why aren’t you wooing me? (I looked around)
Why aren’t you wooing me? (I thought I’d see you)
I find it hard to wait—
Waiting for you to come back and tell me you love me.
You aren’t wooing me anymore.
I don’t know what to do.
