Heid apart X – iGoli, yaseNingizimu Afrika

~
Ngilahlekile

iGoli lidolobha elimangalisayo
isiZulu sami sibi

Musa ukwenqena
iNingizimu Afrika lizwe elimangalisayo

akulanga lashona lingendaba
ithemba kalibulali

Ngilahlekile,
yaseNingizimu Afrika

Jo’burg, South Africa

I’m lost

Johannesburg is a wonderful city
my zulu is bad

Don’t worry
South Africa is a wonderful country

no sun sets without it’s histories
hope does not kill

I’m lost,
Suid-Afrika
