Abangifuni Lyrics Translation Eemoh | Romeo Makota | Lebelo
Romeo Makota and Eemoh sing about success bringing gossip instead of expected joy. Lyricists ask what to do when family rejects you in your own house. They mention the proverb that true family may be found elsewhere.
Kuye Kwenziwe Njani Mase KunjeWhat’s to be done when it’s like this?
Kuye Kuthiweni Mase KunjenaWhat should be said when things are this way?
Abangifuni Ekhaya LamiThey don’t want me in my own home.
Abangifuni Ekhaya LamiThey don’t want me in my own home.
Baqinisile Umndeni Uyowuthola EndleleniThey were right, you’ll find your family along the way.
Bonke Okhule Nabo Bayophela EmehlweniEveryone you grew up with will vanish before your eyes.
Abangifuni Ekhaya LamiThey don’t want me in my own home.
Abangifuni Ekhaya LamiThey don’t want me in my own home.
Baqinisile Umndeni Uyowuthola EndleleniThey were right, you’ll find your family along the way.
