Impilo Lyrics Translation – Tutu Soundtrack
Mandlakayise Mogomotsi writes about the inevitability of life’s phases: ‘Everything has its appointed time, in this world that we live in.’ This line emphasizes the natural progression of life, highlighting how each stage has its own purpose and timing, yet often goes unnoticed by us.
Into nento ines’khathiEverything has its appointed time,
Kulomhlaba es’phila kuwoin this world that we live in,
Sinok’khohlwa thina singabantuthough we as humans tend to forget.
Into nento ines’khathiEverything has its appointed time,
Kulomhlaba es’phila kuwoin this world that we live in,
Sinok’khohlwa thina singabantuthough we as humans tend to forget.
Ngob’ impilo ingeny’ indlela (Ngob’ impilo ingeny’ indlela)Because life takes its own unpredictable path (because life takes its own unpredictable path),
Khona kunzima nokuyichazaand it’s truly difficult to explain.

Kunesikhathi sokutshalaThere is a season to plant,
Singatshala siyis’cukuwhere we might sow the seeds together as a crowd.
Makufik’ isikhathi sokuvunaBut when the time comes to harvest,
Kuvuna ababili kanjaloonly a few remain to reap the rewards.
Kunesikhathi sokuzalwaThere is a time to be born,
Ngisho nesokufaand even a time to die.
Amalanga awafaniEvery day brings something different,
Lesosikhathi sona sifikela wonk’umuntubut that final moment comes for everyone.
Buka baniLook at some people,
Mabekhalawhile they are weeping,
Abanye bayajabulaothers are rejoicing,
K’yakhanya ngendlelaas everything unfolds in its own mysterious way.
Ngob’ impilo ingeny’ indlela (Ngob’ impilo ingeny’ indlela)Because life takes its own unpredictable path (because life takes its own unpredictable path),
