Translation of the song lyrics Lila - Amanda Black

Lila (original)

Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Ubhek' eGoli ufuna ubomi obungcono
And now you’re losing yourself in the blur of the star
Ubathembisile abazili
Uzoba ngumntu phakathi kwabantu
Ukhethiwe bayakudinga
You have to make it
Keep fighting.
oh, oh!
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Oh mntakwethu lungis' ingqondo
Buyel' ekhaya, Buyel' ekhaya
Don’t let this fast life sallow you whole
Don’t let them steal your soul
Buyel' ekhaya, buyel' ekhaya
Ukhethiwe bayakudinga
You have to make it
Keep fighting
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bajonge kuwe
Bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe
Iyalil' ilali, iyalil' ilali
Bayakhal' omama
Bathi bajonge kuwe

Lila (translation)

The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
He is looking for a better life in Johannesburg
And now you're losing yourself in the blur of the star
He promised the mourners
He will become a man among men
You are chosen and they need you
You have to make it
Keep fighting.
oh, oh!
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
Oh, my brother, make up your mind
Come home, Come home
Don't let this fast life sallow you whole
Don't let them steal your soul
Go home, go home
You are chosen and they need you
You have to make it
Keep fighting
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They look to you
They look to you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
The village is crying, the village is crying
There are mothers
They are looking at you
