Preferred Band/Artist: The Soil
Verse 1:
Ngizwile ngangakhala
Ngitsheliwe ngangakholwa
Ushilo ngangam'lalela
Ung'thembisile wath'uzobuya
Azange athi uzong'shiya
Abuye umzimba ungasenawo umoya
Bridge:
Esefikile, Ngimbonile esethule
Esevaliwe, Umzimba wakhe usuqinile
Ngathemba ukumbona evukile
Ngathemba ukuzwa izwi lakhe
Chorus:
Ngiyak'khumbula baba
Uzobuya nini ekhaya
Uhambile wangasivalelisa
Ngiyakukhumbula baba
Lobu'buhlungu buhlaba enhlizweni
Kodwa mina kongilungela nini
Verse 2:
Sekwehla ibhokisi
Lehla nenhliziyo yami
Kwathiwa ungakhathazeki
Konke loku kuyintando yomdali
Ngakhala koma nezinyembezi
Usuthule unomphela
Buya, buya, buya
Repeat chorus
English translation:
Verse 1:
I heard and I didn't cry
I was told and I didn't believe
He told me and I didn't listen to him
He didn't say that he'll leave me
And come back dead
Bridge:
He arrived, I saw him silent
Covered, his body was stiff
I hoped to see him awake
I hoped to hear his voice again
Chorus:
I miss you daddy
When will you come back home
You left us and never said goodbye
I miss you daddy
This pain stabs right in my heart
When will everything go well for me
Verse 2:
The coffin went down slowly
It went down with my heart
They told me not to worry
It is all God's plans
I cried until my tears went dry
You are now forever silence
Come back, come back, come back
Repeat chorus
