"This Town" lyrics
(feat. Ladysmith Black Mambazo)
Mpilo yami mculo wami mina
Mpilo yami mculo wami
Mculo wami mina
Yimpilo yami
Yimpilo yami
Mculo wami mina
Yimpilo yami
Umculo wami
I've been walking for days and days listening to you
You keep on humming the same old tune (mpilo yam, mculo wami)
All of the things that you've been through
Match the scars on your face like tattoos (mpilo yam yebo, mculo wami)
In a couple of days we could be gone
Leave with nothing and start traveling home (mculo wami, mpilo yam yebo)
No time to rest
We've been here before
In the under grove
Divided by this single moan
He said in this town
I'm begging to find someone who can save me
And it's been tearing me part and I've been waiting
And nothing's been that easy for me lately
But this city's my heart and I've been waiting
The city is my heart and I've been waiting
I'm looking for something now
Don't trip or you might stall out
Stop thinking you're too tall
Magnificent come around
Another trip in the cop car
Take time to reform, yeah
Just give me the food for a while
Why live if you don't fall down
Why live if you don't fall down
Why live if you don't fall
In this town
I'm begging to find someone who can save me
And it's been tearing me apart, well I've been waiting
And nothing's been that easy for me lately (mculo wami yebo)
But this city is my heart
She said 'in this town
There's nothing in my name unless I make it'
And it's not written in the stars but I got patience
And I'll tell my story even if it breaks me
'Cause this city is my heart
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy load
Help me with this heavy
In this town (ngisize iyasinda)
I'm begging to find someone who can save me (ngithule lomthwalo)
And it's tearing me apart, well I've been waiting (ngisize iyasinda)
And nothing's been that easy for me lately (mculo wami yebo) (ngithule lomthwalo)
But this city has my heart
He said in this town
I'm begging to find someone who can save me
And it's been tearing me apart, well I've been waiting
And nothing's been that easy for me lately
But this city is my heart
She said 'in this town
There's nothing in my name unless I make it'
And it's not written in the stars but I got patience
And I'll tell my story even if it breaks me
Cause this city has my heart and I've been waiting
This city has my heart and I've been waiting
This city has my heart and I've been waiting
Mpilo yami mculo wami
Mculo wami mina
Yimpilo yami
Yimpilo yami
Mculo wami mina
Yimpilo yami
Umculo wami
