Boohle Ndizijongile Lyrics (feat. Villosoul & Bravo Le Roux)
Ndazisola xa ndiphuma
Ekhaya ndiyofuna uphuza inxaki zam
Ndaqgiba amabhodlela
Ngitshakadula ngath akuna kusasa
I regret leaving home to go
drink my problems away (drown my sorrows)
Finishing all the bottles (of alcohol)
Dancing like there was no tomorrow
Wooo kube bendisazi
Wooooo kube ndazimamela
Uba sendiqhawukile Yoh sendinxilile
Jonga ngoku ndiyagxadazela
If only I knew (what would happen),
If only I listened to my body telling me I am wasted,
Yoh, I am already drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
Wooo kube bendisazi
Woooo Jonga ndigqib indlela
Sendiqhawukile yoh sendinxilile
Bona nje ndiyagxadazela
Wooo kube bendisazi
Woooo Jonga ndigqib indlela
Sendiqhawukile yoh sendinxilile
Bona nje ndiyagxadazela
If only I knew (what would happen),
Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road
I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
If only I knew (what would happen),
Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road
I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umntanomuntu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umfowethu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Kube bendizibhekile, ngabe ndise nobomi bam
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umntanomuntu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umfowethu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Kube bendizibhekile, ngabe ndise nobomi bam
If I had checked (looked after) myself
That person’s child would still be alive
If I had checked (looked after) myself
My brother would still be alive
If I had checked (looked after) myself
I could have saved lives in our community
If I had checked (looked after) myself
I would still be alive
Yazi itayma yam yacisha ngalo line?
Zange wanethuba londibona ndiyi’dyan
Yazi nam ndaphantse ndacisha ngalo line?
Did you know my father died in this way (on the roads)?
He never had an opportunity to see me become a man
Did you know that even I almost died in this way?
Ndisafuna uphila, ndisamncanywa lo life
ndisamncanywa lo life
Ndisafuna uphila, ndisamncanywa lo life
ndisamncanywa lo life
I still want to live, I still love this life.
I still love this life.
I still want to live, I still love this life.
I still love this life.
Hey man!
Yindoda kabani lena iqhuba kanje?
Yindoda kabani lena ingena limit?
Indoda enjani lena igqiba ispirit?
Wen’ uyagqithis’
Hey man!
What kind of man is this driving (recklessly) like that?
What kind of man is this who doesn’t know his limit?
What kind of man is this killing our party?
You’re killing the vibe
Celubuza?!
Yindoda kabani igxadazela endleleni?
Yindoda kabani lena ingena limit?
Indoda enjani lena igqiba ispirit?
Wen’ uyagqithis’
Can I ask?!
What kind of man is this stumbling on the road?
What kind of man is this who doesn’t have a limit?
What kind of man is this killing our party?
You’re killing the vibe (note: literally means sucking out the good energy of a moment)
Ubomi bam!
Hayi ubomi bam
Ngoba ndise nobomi bami
Impilo yam inye
Kumele ndiyithande
Ndingahlulwa, zingxaki, nabangani
Ndilumkele, ndicingele, nomakatsi
Hayoyoyo, ubomi bam
Hayoyoyo
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umntanomuntu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngab uyaphila
Umfowethu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Kube bendizibhekile, ngabe ndise nobomi bam
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe uyaphila
Umntanomuntu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngab uyaphila
Umfowethu,
Kube bendizijongile, ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Kube bendizibhekile, ngabe ndise nobomi bam
Ngabe uyaphila umntanomuntu,
Ngab uyaphila umfowethu,
Ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Ngabe ndise nobomi bam
Ngabe uyaphila umntanomuntu,
Ngab uyaphila umfowethu,
Ngabe ngisize isizwe,
Ngabe ndise nobomi bam
Mojo mojo,
Mojo mojo,
Pholas,
Pholas.
My life!
Ooh, my life,
Because I still have my life (ahead of me)
I (only) have one life
I’m supposed to love it/I should love it
I must not be beat, by problems, of/or
Boohle Ndizijongile Lyrics English Translation
I regretted it when I left
At home I want you to kiss my cheeks
I closed the bottles
I’m getting married as soon as it rains in the morning
I regret leaving home to go
drink my problems away (drown my sorrows)
Finishing all the bottles (of alcohol)
Dancing like there was no tomorrow
Oh, I wish I knew
Wow I’ve been listening to them
When I’m broke Yoh I’m drunk
Look now I’m struggling
If only I knew (what would happen),
If only I listened to my body telling me I am wasted,
Oh, I am already drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
Oh, I wish I knew
Woooo Look I’ve come a long way
I’m broke, I’m drunk
Look, I’m struggling
Oh, I wish I knew
Woooo Look I’ve come a long way
I’m broke, I’m drunk
Look, I’m struggling
If only I knew (what would happen),
Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road
I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
If only I knew (what would happen),
Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road
I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!
Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
son of man,
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
Brother,
If I had looked after myself, I would have helped the nation,
If I had looked after myself, I would have taken my life
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
son of man,
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
Brother,
If I had looked after myself, I would have helped the nation,
If I had looked after myself, I would have taken my life
If I had checked (looked after) myself
That person’s child would still be alive
If I had checked (looked after) myself
My brother would still be alive
If I had checked (looked after) myself
I could have saved lives in our community
If I had checked (looked after) myself
I would still be alive
Did you know that my timer went off on this line?
He never had the chance to see me as a ‘dyan
Do you know that I almost turned off this line?
Did you know my father died in this way (on the roads)?
He never had an opportunity to see me become a man
Did you know that even I almost died in this way?
I still want you alive, I still hate this life
I still hate this life
I still want you alive, I still hate this life
I still hate this life
I still want to live, I still love this life.
I still love this life.
I still want to live, I still love this life.
I still love this life.
Hey man!
Whose man is this?
Whose man is this entering the limit?
What kind of man is this spirit?
You’re too much
Hey man!
What kind of man is this driving (recklessly) like that?
What kind of man is this who doesn’t know his limit?
What kind of man is this killing our party?
You’re killing the vibe
Question?!
Whose man is he stumbling along the road?
Whose man is this entering the limit?
What kind of man is this spirit?
You’re too much
Can I ask?!
What kind of man is this stumbling on the road?
What kind of man is this who doesn’t have a limit?
What kind of man is this killing our party?
You’re killing the vibe (note: literally means sucking out the good energy of a moment)
My life!
Not my life
Because I have my life
My health is the same
Gotta love it
I can be separated by problems and friends
Be careful, considerate, and cat
Hey, my life
It’s not
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
son of man,
If I checked myself, would you be fine?
Brother,
If I had looked after myself, I would have helped the nation,
If I had looked after myself, I would have taken my life
If I had checked myself, he would be fine
son of man,
If I checked myself, he was fine
Brother,
If I had looked after myself, I would have helped the nation,
If I had looked after myself, I would have taken my life
Are you alive son of man,
Is my brother alive?
I have helped the nation,
I would have taken my life
Are you alive son of man,
Is my brother alive?
I have helped the nation,
I would have taken my life
mojo mojo
mojo mojo
Pholas,
Pholas.
My life!
Oh, my life,
Because I still have my life (ahead of me)
I (only) have one life
I’m supposed to love it/I should love it
I must not be beaten, by problems, of/or
