| Thamela 'mbulu thamela!
|
| Warm yourself in the sun, water lizard or monitor (legavaan)!
|
| Ziyaphuza izinsizwa, uxamu lothela ilanga
|
| The warriors drink their beer. |
| while the water monitor enjoys warming itself in
|
| the sun
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| Die son trek water, soos ek en my bier
|
| The sun draws the water, like me and my beer
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| Maar die osean is nie bang vir die son se vuur
|
| But the ocean is not afraid of the sun’s fire
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| Ek dink aan jou want jy is nie hier nie
|
| I’m thinking of you because you are not here
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| En my bottle is leeg, en my hart is seer
|
| And my bottle is empty, and my heart is sore
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| Die pad na jou hart, is sonder a brug
|
| The road to your heart is without a bridge
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| En die myle na jou deur, is my bitter plig
|
| And the miles to your door, have become my relentless destiny
|
| Ziyaphuz' 'insizwa
|
| The warriors are drinking
|
| Sigukile egoli madoda!
|
| We have grown old in johannesburg, men!
|
| Njengegolovane, ngendaba zemali, ngendaba zemali
|
| Like a rusty mine cocopan, we did this because we needed money
|
| Guka! |
| guka wena. |
| uzoguka othandayo
|
| Grow old! |
| grow old!.. only someone who gives up will grow old!
|
| Binne in my, ek dra jou binne in my, vir ewig
|
| Inside me, I carry you inside me, forever
|
| My bloed is koud, en ek word oud, soos tai kalahari hout
|
| My blood is cold, and I grow old, like tough-hard kalahari wood
|
| Maar herrineringe aan jou stook die kole in my hart
|
| But memories of you stoke the coals in my hart
|
| Diep in my .jy's diep in my.
|
| Deep inside me, you are deep inside me
|
| Die afstand tussen ons is so krom en skeef
|
| The distance between us, is bent and crooked
|
| Selfs die bottle sal my nie gou laat vergeet
|
| Even this bottle does’nt help me to forget quickly
|
| Daars n' sagte klank in die nag se lug
|
| There is a gentle sound on the evening air
|
| As jy slaap in die donker en in jou drome vlug
|
| As you sleep in the darkness and flee into your dreams
|
| My bottle is gebreek en my hart is seer
|
| My bottle is broken and my heart is sore
|
| Jy’s so ver van my af, en die toekoms is leeg
|
| You are so far from me and the future is empty
|
| Sigukile egoli madoda!
|
| We have grown old in johannesburg, men!
|
| Njengegolovane, ngendaba zemali, ngendaba zemali
|
| Like a rusty mine cocopan, we did this because we needed money |
