Ngizohlala

Oh na na, ngizohlala
Oh na na, ngizohlala
Sondela, dali

Two in the morning, Maboneng rain
Taxi lights running across the pane
One heel in your hand, bare feet on the floor
My suitcase waiting beside the door
You drew one circle into my palm
The whole room moved, but you stayed calm
Then you asked me, soft and slow,
Am I just tonight, or the one you know?

My driver kept calling, I let it ring
You came closer, didn't say a thing
When the log drum dropped, the room stood still
You whispered, stay if staying is real

Oh na na, ngizohlala
Ngibambe, don't let go of me
Oh na na, the morning can wait
Ngifuna ukudansa nawe (ngizohlala)

Kancane, kancane (move like the rain)
Kancane, kancane (say my name)
Yebo, yebo (your heartbeat knows)
Sondela, dali, don't let me go

Blue at the window, quarter to six
Boarding pass bent between my fingertips
Your red scarf tied around my wrist
No kiss can answer a question like this
My driver texted, I'm at the gate
You looked away like the truth came late
I typed one line and watched the car go
Not today, then I held you close

No big promise, no borrowed line
Just your hand finding its way into mine
When the kick fell out, I heard it clear
The place I was running from brought me here

Oh na na, ngizohlala
Ngibambe, don't let go of me
Oh na na, the morning can wait
Ngifuna ukudansa nawe (ngizohlala)

All my life, one foot outside
Suitcase zipped, I called it pride
You never begged me to decide
I came to leave, you made me arrive

Oh na na, ngizohlala
Ngibambe, there's nowhere else to be
Oh na na, the morning came, I stayed
Ngifuna ukudansa nawe (ngizohlala)

Kancane, kancane (no rush now)
Kancane, kancane (I know now)
Yebo, yebo (let the whole room know)
Sondela, dali, I'm not letting go

Oh na na, ngizohlala
