Nkeshemba Ngixolele Mtanami Lyrics English Translation
Please forgive me, my child’s mother
I wasn’t there at the hospital
I was trying to help, to help us
I wanted to be with you
I was trying to help, to help us
I wanted to be with you
When your mother told me you were released
I wasn’t working and didn’t have money to eat
And there were no job opportunities at that time
I decided to take the gun and go to the police
When your mother told me you were released
I wasn’t working and didn’t have money to eat
And there were no job opportunities at that time
I decided to take the gun and go to the police
I did everything for my child to live well
I did everything for my child to grow up well
You are like other children and you are well dressed
Even though I ended up in prison
I did everything for my child to live well
I did everything for my child to grow up well
You are like other children and you are well dressed
Even though I ended up in prison in prison
I tried and failed, my child
Now, I see myself as a ‘big failure’
I can’t even sleep, I’m worried
That when you and yours were there, you would have eaten
I tried and failed, my child
Now, I see myself as a ‘big failure’
I can’t even sleep, I’m worried
That when you and yours were there, you would have eaten
I don’t know how I’m going to get out?
I don’t know how I’m going to see you?
I don’t know how I’ll feel about my son
I was sentenced to life in prison
I was sentenced to life in prison
I was sentenced to life in prison
I don’t know how I’ll feel about my son
I was sentenced to life in prison
I was sentenced to life in prison
I don’t know how I’ll feel about my son
I was sentenced to life in prison
I miss my son’s mother, sleep
I miss my child oh sleep
I miss my child oh sleep
I miss my child oh sleep
I was sentenced to life in prison
There is everything my son did for me to live well
There is everything my son did for me to grow up well
You are like other children and you are well dressed
Even though I ended up in prison
There is everything my son did for me to live well
There is everything my son did for me to grow up well
You are like other children and you are well dressed you are well dressed
Even though I ended up in jail
I tried and failed, my son
Now, I see myself as a ‘big failure’
I can’t even sleep, I’m worried
That when you and yours were there, you would have eaten
I tried and failed, my son
Now, I see myself as a ‘big failure’
I can’t even sleep, I’m worried
That when you and yours were there, you would have eaten
I don’t know how I’m going to get out?
I don’t know how I’m going to see you?
I don’t know how I’m going to touch you
I was sentenced to life in prison, my son
Nkeshemba Ngixolele Mtanami Lyrics
Bengicela ungixolele mama womtanami
Angibanga khona es’bhedlela
Bengithi ngiyozama, ngizamela thina
Bengifisa ukuba nawe
Bengicela ungixolele ngane yami
Angibanga khona ekuzalweni kwakho
Bengithi ngiyozama, ngizamela thina
Bengifisa ukuba nawe
Ngesikhathi umama wakho engitshela ukuthi ukhululwe
Ngangingasebenzi ngingenayo nemali yokudla
Namathuba emisebenzi ngalesosikhathi ayengekho
Ngathatha isinqumo sokuthatha i’bhamu ngiyokhomba
Ngesikhathi umama wakho engitshela ukuthi ukhululwe
Ngangingasebenzi ngingenayo nemali yokudla
Namathuba emisebenzi ngalesosikhathi ayengekho
Ngathatha isinqumo sokuthatha i’bhamu ngiyokhomba
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi uphile kahle
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi ukhule kahle
Ufane nabanye abantwana nawe ugqoke kahle
Yize ngaphelela ejele
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi uphile kahle
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi ukhule kahle
Ufane nabanye abantwana nawe ugqoke kahle
Yize ngaphelela ejele
Ngazama ngahluleka mtanami
Kumanje, ngizibona ‘ngesikhulu is’hluleki
Angikwazi nokulala ubuthongo, ngikhathazekile
Ukuthi lapho enikhona nomawakho ngabe nidlile
Ngazama ngahluleka mtanami
Kumanje, ngizibona ‘ngesikhulu is’hluleki
Angikwazi nokulala ubuthongo, ngikhathazekile
Ukuthi lapho enikhona nomawakho ngabe nidlile
Ang’sazi ngiyophuma kanjani na?
Ang’sazi ngiyokubona kanjani na?
Angazi ngiyok’thinta kanjani wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Angazi ngiyok’bona kanjani wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Angazi ngiyok’thinta kanjani wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Ngikhumbula umama womtanami, yelele
Ngikhumbula ingane yami wowu yelele
Ngikhumbula ingane yami wowu yelele
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi uphile kahle
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi ukhule kahle
Ufane nabanye abantwana nawe ugqoke kahle
Yize ngaphelela ejele
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi uphile kahle
Kukhona konke mtanami ngangenzela ukuthi ukhule kahle
Ufane nabanye abantwana nawe ugqoke kahle
Yize ngaphelela ejele
Ngazama ngahluleka mtanami
Kumanje, ngizibona ‘ngesikhulu is’hluleki
Angikwazi nokulala ubuthongo, ngikhathazekile
Ukuthi lapho enikhona nomawakho ngabe nidlile
Ngazama ngahluleka mtanami
Kumanje, ngizibona ‘ngesikhulu is’hluleki
Angikwazi nokulala ubuthongo, ngikhathazekile
Ukuthi lapho enikhona nomawakho ngabe nidlile
Ang’sazi ngiyophuma kanjani na?
Ang’sazi ngiyokubona kanjani na?
Angazi ngiyok’thinta kanjani wemtanami
Ngagwetshwa udilika jele wemtanami
