Ndizijongile (Extended Version)

Ndazisola xa ndiphuma

Ekhaya ndiyofuna uphuza inxaki zam

Ndaqgiba amabhodlela

Ngitshakadula ngath akuna kusasa

I regret leaving home to go

drink my problems away (drown my sorrows)

Finishing all the bottles (of alcohol)

Dancing like there was no tomorrow

Wooo kube bendisazi

Wooooo kube ndazimamela

Uba sendiqhawukile Yoh sendinxilile

Jonga ngoku ndiyagxadazela

If only I knew (what would happen),

If only I listened to my body telling me I am wasted,

 Yoh, I am already drunk!

Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)

Wooo kube bendisazi

Woooo Jonga ndigqib indlela

Sendiqhawukile yoh sendinxilile

Bona nje ndiyagxadazela

Wooo kube bendisazi

Woooo Jonga ndigqib indlela

Sendiqhawukile yoh sendinxilile

Bona nje ndiyagxadazela

If only I knew (what would happen),

Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road

I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!

Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)

If only I knew (what would happen),

Oh nooooo, look at me stumbling all over the road

I am wasted, Yoh, I am drunk!

Now look at me staggering (as I walk home)

Yazi itayma yam yacisha ngalo line?

Zange wanethuba londibona ndiyi’dyan

Did you know my father died in this way (on the roads)?

He never had an opportunity to see me become a man

Did you know that even I almost died in this way?

Ndisafuna uphila, ndisamncanywa lo life

Ndisafuna uphila, ndisamncanywa lo life

What kind of man is this who doesn’t have a limit?

What kind of man is this killing our party?

You’re killing the vibe (note: literally means sucking out the good energy of a moment)
