The lyrics writer, Khaogelo Moagi, pens a direct line: ‘The gossips are nothing but cowards.’ This phrase sets the tone for the song, addressing the jealousy and chatter that come with success. The vocalist, Nkosazana Daughter, delivers these words with a mix of confidence and defiance, making the message hit home.
Abondaba AmagwalaThe gossips are nothing but cowards.
Bathutha Bathuthe Usizi LakhoThey’ll take your own sadness,
Balenze Injabulo Yaboand turn it into their own joy.
Ubani Ongazi ImpumeleloWho doesn’t know that success,
Impumelelo Yakhulumisais going to make people talk?
Bakhuluma Eyabo Impilo ImileThey’re busy talking while their own lives are standing still,
Engathi Abanazo Inkingaacting like they don’t have any problems of their own.
Ubani Ongazi ImpumeleloWho doesn’t know that success,
Impumelelo Yakhulumisais going to make people talk?
Bakhuluma Eyabo Impilo ImileThey keep on talking while their own lives are going nowhere,
Engathi Abanazo Inkingaas if they don’t have any issues to sort out.
Umakhelwane UnomonaMy neighbor is just jealous,
Mina NgiyambonaI can see it plain as day.
Njalo Ukhulum’indaba ZamThey’re always gossiping about me.
Umakhelwane UnomonaMy neighbor is so envious,
Mina NgiyambonaI see them watching me.
Njalo Ukhulum’indaba ZamThey’re always talking about my life.
Umakhelwane UnomonaThe neighbor is just jealous,
Mina NgiyambonaI see right through them.
Njalo Ukhulum’indaba ZamThey’re always talking about my business.
Umakhelwane UnomonaThe neighbor is filled with envy,
Mina NgiyambonaI see what they’re doing.
Njalo Ukhulum’indaba ZamThey’re always gossiping about me.
Ezami Nizazizwa NgamiYou’ll hear my stories directly from me,
Ningavumi Banitshele Amangaso don’t let them tell you lies.
Ezami Nizozibona NgamiYou’ll see what I’ve done for yourself,
Niyeke Ondaba Bayahlebaso leave the gossips to their whispering.
