Amaphutha Lyrics Translation (from “Acquiesce”)
Babalwa M says she carries faults and still chooses to love. She mentions the line that it is better to fail after trying.
Nguwe Lo Yimi LoIt’s you and it’s me.
Uthando Luvuth’ UmlililoLove’s burning like a fire.
Nawe Ndoda Nje ShelaYou, man, just go ahead and court me.
Leyo Indoda NgiyacelaI’m asking for that man.
Leyo Indoda NgiyacelaI’m asking for that man.
Leyo Indoda NgiyacelaI’m asking for that man.
Nguwe Lo Yimi LoIt’s you and it’s me.

Nawe Ndoda Nje ShelaYou, man, just go ahead and court me.
Leyo Indoda NgiyacelaI’m asking for that man.
Leyo Indoda NgiyacelaI’m asking for that man.
Ncono Ng’hluleke Ng’zamileIt’s better that I fail, as long as I’ve tried.
