Impilo yami (impilo yami) umculo wami
Umculo wami mina (umculo wami) impilo yami
Impilo yami umculo wami mina
Impilo yami (umculo wami) umculo wami
I've been walkin' for days and days, listenin' to you
You keep on hummin' the same old tune
Impilo yami (umculo wami), umculo wami
All of the things that you've been through
Match the scars on your face like tattoos
Impilo yami, hey bo! (Umculo wami) umculo wami
In a couple of days, we could be gone
Leave with nothin' and start travelin' home
Umculo wami, impilo yami, umculo wami
No time to waste, I've been here before
In the undergrowth, divided by the single moon
He said, "In this town, I'm beggin' to find someone who can save me"
And it's been tearin' me apart
Well, I've been waitin'
And nothing's been that easy for me lately
But this city has my heart and I've been waitin' (thandaza, ingoma yemazulu)
This city has my heart and I've been waitin' (umculo wami impilo yami)
I'm lookin' for somethin' now (umculo wami impilo yami)
Don't trip or you might stall out
Stop thinkin' you're too tall (umculo wami impilo yami)
Magnificent come around
Another trip in the cop car (umculo wami impilo yami)
Take time to reform, yeah
Just give me the fool for a while (umculo wami impilo yami)
Why live if you don't fall down?
Why live if you don't fall down? (Umculo wami impilo yami)
Why live if you don't fall?
In this town, I'm beggin' to find someone who can save me (thandaza)
And it's been tearin' me apart
Well, I've been waitin'
And nothing's been that easy for me lately (umculo wami, hey bo!)
But this city has my heart
She said, "In this town, there's nothin' in my name unless I make it
And it's not written in the stars, but I got patience
And I'll tell my story even if it breaks me (umculo wami impilo yami)
'Cause this city has my heart
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy
In this town (ngisize) I'm beggin' to find someone who can save me (ng'yasindwa)
