Ngifanele Lyrics English Translation by The Silent Partner
The Silent Partner describes a night of struggle. The performer says, ‘I survived the night that wanted to break me.’ Now, hands are open and heart is free.
Ngake ngazithulisa, ngazenza ngincane,I once silenced myself, I made myself small,
Ngivumela umhlaba ungihlulele.letting the world pass judgment on me.
Ngasinda ebusuku obungifuna ngiphuke,I survived the night that wanted to break me,
Manje ngimi ekukhanyeni kwelanga.now I’m standing in the golden sunlight.
Ngikhokhe intengo, ngedwa ngibekezelela,I’ve paid the price, enduring it all alone,
Ngafunda ukuphefumula ebuhlungwini.I learned to breathe through the pain.
Izinyembezi zami zageleza njengomfula,My tears flowed just like a river,
Zageza ihlazo, zangikhulula.they washed away the shame and set me free.
Angisathi mhlawumbe, angisathi kusasa,I don’t say maybe anymore, I don’t say tomorrow,
Angisalindi emnyango.I’m no longer waiting at the door.
Ngazalelwa okungaphezu kokusinda,I was born for more than just survival,
Ngivunyelwe ukufuna okuningi.I’m allowed to want so much more.
Ngifanele zonke izibusiso empilweni,I deserve every blessing in life,
Zonke izinto ezinhle, zonke izinkanyezi.all the beautiful things, all the stars.
Angixolisi ngokuthi ngiyakholwa,I won’t apologize for believing,
Yebo, ngifanele izibusiso empilweni.yes, I deserve the blessings in life.
Izandla vulekile, inhliziyo ivulekile,My hands are open, my heart is open,
Angisenalo neze isaba.I don’t have a single fear left.
Makuna, makuthulule izibusisoLet it rain, let the blessings pour down,
Ngifanele zonke empilweni.I deserve them all in this life.
Angisabizi inhlanhla engiyisebenzele,I don’t call it luck when I’ve worked for it,
Yonke impi yaba isifundo.every battle became a lesson.
Ngakha ngezandla zami, kancane kancane,I built with my own hands, bit by bit,
Iminyango ivaliwe ngazenzela indlela.when doors were closed, I made my own way.
Ngikhuluma kahle nomoya wami,I speak kindly to my own soul,
Ngivikele ukuthula kwami.protecting my inner peace.
Angijahi okungangikhethi,I don’t chase what doesn’t choose me,
Ngiyakudedela, ngiyaqhubeka.I’m letting you go, I’m moving on.
Angisazibuzi ukuthi ngingubani mina,I’m no longer asking myself who I am,
Amaphupho aseduze nami.the dreams are right here with me.
Ngiyibufakazi bokuphulukisa,I’m the living proof of healing,
Ngimi lapha, ngiqinile.I’m standing here, strong.
Ngifanele zonke izibusiso empilweni,I deserve every blessing in life,
Zonke izinto ezinhle, zonke izinkanyezi.all the beautiful things, all the stars.
Angixolisi ngokuthi ngiyakholwa,I won’t apologize for believing,
Yebo, ngifanele izibusiso empilweni.yes, I deserve the blessings in life.
Izandla vulekile, inhliziyo ivulekile,My hands are open, my heart is open,
Angisenalo neze isaba.I don’t have a single fear left.
Makuna, makuthulule izibusisoLet it rain, let the blessings pour down,
Ngifanele zonke empilweni.I deserve them all in this life.
Uma ngithwale ubuhlungu, ngithwala nomqhele,If I’ve carried the weight of pain, I’m wearing a crown now,
Uma ngidlule ebumnyameni, ngiyakhanya manje.since I’ve walked through the darkness, I’m shining bright today.
Angisazinciphisi, angisazithulisa,I won’t make myself small anymore, I won’t be silenced again,
Ngiyisimangaliso esiphilayo.for I’m a living miracle.
Angisaceli imvume yokuba yimi,I’m not asking for permission to be myself anymore,
Ngiyisizathu, ngiyimpendulo.I’m the reason and I’m the answer.
Ngiyimpande, ngiyiqiniso,I’m the root and I’m the truth,
Ngimi ngiqinile namuhla.and I’m standing firm today.
Ngifanele zonke izibusiso empilweni,I deserve every blessing in this life,
Yonke “yebo”, zonke izibani ziluhlaza.every ‘yes’ and every green light.
Angixolisi ngokuthi ngiyakholwa,I won’t apologize for having faith,
Yebo, ngifanele izibusiso empilweni.yeah, I’m worthy of life’s blessings.
Izandla vulekile, inhliziyo ivulekile,My hands are open, my heart is open,
Angisenalo neze isaba.and I don’t have any fear left.
Makuna, makuthulule izibusisoLet it rain, let the blessings pour down,
Ngifanele zonke izibusiso empilweni.since I deserve every blessing in this life.
