Dudlu

Gegela gege
Ntombi zamgegela we

Dudlu ntombi nay’ imbewu yothando
Ng’cel’ uyitshale kule nhliziyo yami efundile
Ngeke ngiphel’ umoya ng’zoqhubeka ng’kwehle
Ezondonga zenhliziyo ziyoze y’bhidlike

Ngathi ng’yabona seziwushaya silokho sitshontshan’ es’gcawini
K’yobe kuhle k’delile
Laph’ amehlo akho ayovuleka khona ubone yim’ ubani
Ng’yobe ng’mile ng’lindile

Maye muhl’obakwam, muhl’obakwam
Muhl’obakwam, mu-, muhle
Muhl’obakwam, muhl’obakwam
Muhl’obakwam, mu-, muhle

Uthando l’fana nembali
Kuze lungabuni
Kumele luhlale l’thenelwe
Nalenhlazi nginayo ngawe kuze ingafi
Hlal’ ilangabile sikhwezele

Ngok’thanda ng’sokwadule
Ng’cel’ uthele ng’phuze
Leyonhliziyo yakh’ egcwel’ uthando
Ngothando nguJean-Clude
Kulezo nkomo ng’zok’lobola ngazongicel’ ungeluse

Ng’cel’ ungiph’ ithuba
Sibe ngamajuba
Sindize ndawonye
Ng’cel’ utshel i-sheli zakho
Vele yikhohlwe ngawe
Ngob’ usungowam ucul’ ungenele

Dudlu ntombi nay’ imbewu yothando
Ng’cel’ uyitshale kule nhliziyo yami evundile
Ngeke ngiphel’ umoya ng’zoqhubeka ng’kwehle
Lezondonga zenhliziyo ziyoze y’bhidlike

Ngathi ng’yabona seziwushaya silokho sitshontshan’ es’gcawini
K’yobe kuhle k’delile
Laph’ amehlo akho ayovuleka khona ubone yim’ ubani
Ng’yobe ng’mile ng’lindile

Maye muhl’owakwam, muhl’owakwam
Muhl’owakwam, mu-, muhle
Muhl’owakwam, muhl’owakwam
Muhl’owakwam, mu-, muhle

Shona langa shona kuse limil’ iduku
Bon’ umhlaba wonke usungowami
Imvula isazo s’netha uthando lwethu yoli-test’a
S’thandwa please ngiyak’cela kuth’ ungaling’ uvume

Dali sometimes sojabula
Sometimes ngek’ sijabule
Up and down yothando
Love yi-roller coaster

Kodwa dali mawung’thanda
Nami futh’ ngik’thanda
Kumnandi s’thandana okunye akusho lutho

Babonile baningi bezama
Kodwa akekho ofana nawe
Engimthanda kanjena uwena
Mhlambe omunye usazoza

Dudlu ntombi nay’ imbewu yothando
Ng’cel’ uyitshale kule nhliziyo yami efundile
Ngeke ngiphel’ umoya ng’zoqhubeka ng’kwehle
Lezondonga zenhliziyo ziyoze zibhidlike

Ngathi ng’yabona seziwushaya silokho sitshontshan’ es’gcawini
K’yobe kuhle k’delile
Laph’ amehlo akho ayovuleka khona ubone yim’ ubaba
Ng’yobe ng’mile ng’lindile

Maye muhl’owakwam, muhl’owakwam
Muhl’owakwam, mu-, muhle
Muhl’owakwam, muhl’owakwam
Muhl’owakwam, mu-, muhle
