Thando Lwami (My Love)

Mmm… Ngik’thanda baby… (Mmm… I love you, baby…) Ngithi qhubeka, (I say, continue,) Ngizwe is’khathi siphela, (I feel time slipping away,) Ngizokugcina enhlizweni yami, (I will keep you in my heart,) Ngifuna ukuk’bamba, ungahambi. (I want to hold you, don’t leave.) Sizohamba kancane, (We will walk slowly,) Silande izinkanyezi, (Following the stars,) Ngifisa ukuba nawe, (I long to be with you,) Njengamanzi olwandle. (Like water in the ocean.) Oh my love, my fire, Ngoba wena ungokhokho wami! (Because you are my destiny!) Thando lwami, (My love,) Hamba nami, (Walk with me,) Thando lwami, (My love,) Hlale kimi… (Stay with me…) Ngibona izinkanyezi emehlweni akho, (I see the stars in your eyes,) Izwi lakho liqhakaza ezulwini, (Your voice glows in the sky,) Ngiyazi uthando lwethu lungunaphakade, (I know our love is eternal,) Ngeke luphume, luhlale njalo. (It will never fade, it will remain forever.) Ngithandaza ngothando, (I pray for love,) Ngithandaza ngawe… (I pray for you…) Ngik’thanda njalo… (I will always love you…)
