Lorde - The Man with the Axe - Ukuguqulelwa kwisiXhosa (Lingoma)

If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away

Lorde - The Man with the Axe (Lingoma)

If I had to break it down
I'd say it's the way you love to dance
Movin' the furniture when my back is turned
The flick of the lights and the world falls away

[Chorus]
And your office job and your silver hair
But our shapes in the dark are the reason I've stayed for all these years

[Verse 2]
I thought I was a genius, but now I'm twenty-two
And it's startin' to feel like all I know how to do is
Put on a suit and take it away

[Chorus]
With my fist full of tunes that it's painful to play
Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells
They fill up my nights and then they float away

[Verse 3]
I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames
And a throat that fills with panic every festival day
Dutifully fallin' apart for the Princess of Norway

[Chorus]
But you, with your tall slashes, your infinite t-shirts
I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's

You'd take me down

[Verse 4]
I guess I'll always be this way
Swallowed up by the words, and halfway to space
But there, by the fire, you offered your hand
And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan

[Chorus]
You found me clean as a pine
The man with the axe and the look in his eyes
We've been through so many hard times
I'm writin' a love song for you, baby

Lorde - The Man with the Axe - Ukuguqulelwa kwisiXhosa (Lingoma)

Ukuba kuye kwafuneka ndiyiphule phantsi
Ndingathi yindlela othanda ukudanisa
I-Movin 'ifanitshala xa umqolo wam ujikile
I-fick yezibane kunye nelizwe liwa kude

[Chorus]
Kunye neofisi yakho yeofisi kunye neenwele zakho zesilivere
Kodwa imilo yethu ebumnyameni sisizathu sokuba ndihlale kuyo yonke le minyaka

[Indinyana 2]
Ndacinga ukuba ndingubukrakra, kodwa ngoku ndineminyaka engamashumi amabini anesibini
Kwaye iqalile 'ukuziva ngathi ndiyayazi indlela yokwenza ngayo
Nxiba isuti kwaye uthathe

[Chorus]
Ngenqindi yam igcwele i-tunes ekubuhlungu ukuyidlala
I-Worldler
Bagcwalisa ubusuku bam kwaye babhabha

[Indinyana 3]
Ndinamakhulu amanqatha, ndineepeyinti ezipilisi
Kwaye umqala ogcwalisa ukothuka yonke imihla yoMthendeleko
I-fallin 'ngaphandle kwenkosazana yaseNorway

[Chorus]
Kodwa wena, kunye ne-slass yakho emide, i-t-shirts yakho engenasiphelo
Ngendiwaziwa xa irekhodi yakho oyithandayo ifana notata wam
Ungandithatha phantsi

[Indinyana 4]
Ndicinga ukuba ndiza kuhlala ndinjalo ngale ndlela
Ndiginywe ngamagama, kwaye phakathi kwendawo
Kodwa ke, ngasemlilweni, wanika isandla sakho
Kwaye njengoko ndiyihambileyo, ndiyakuthanda, inkwenkwe enecebo

[Chorus]
Undifumene ndicocekile njengepine
Indoda ene-ax kunye nokujonga emehlweni akhe
Sigqithile kangangezihlandlo ezininzi
Ndibhala 'ingoma yothando kuwe, mntwana
