Preferred Band/Artist: The Soil
Verse 1:
It was on a Saturday afternoon when I got a call from my friend
Asking me to hang out with them
But when I got there, a reflection of my proper future flashed in front of my eyes
I slapped my hand checking if I was having a reverie
Cool kids call it a “day-dream’
But guess what? It was a reality
I had a future standing in front of me
And now I’m proud to say you were my absolute future
The person I’ve been longing to meet the rest of my life
Now it wasn’t about my friends anymore...It was all about you
Ka Sesotho ke re “ke ka wena fela jwale”
My baby you were my future
You still my future and forever you will be…
“O bokamoso ba ka…”
Chorus:
My baby you keep my hopes alive
So now I’m gonna keep my love for you alive
When I’m with you at the mall it makes me proud that people are still turning heads when you pass
Because this is a sign that I chose the best
I believe that I am also your best
Allow me to say you chose me when you accepted me
So this makes me the best too
Because eagles only fly with eagles
So now “the best me” is flying on cloud-love with “the best you”
Verse 2:
I’m telling my baby you’re a “turning-head” kind of a person
You pass once but people turn their heads twice
Wondering if they’ve seen a “picture-perfect” photo in a human-frame
You’re usually turning heads but now you turning me crazy
With you in my frame of life I guess I have a picture-perfect
And If your parents hadn’t have made you, I wouldn’t have met you
So I guess I dedicate my gratitude to your parents too
Verse 3:
Now hear me out while I pour out my utmost honesty and facts
Fact 1: when you pass people turn heads twice and even more because of your striking beauty
Fact2: There can never be a perfect timing to have met you than Now…now…now
Fact3: You make me forget there are ugly things like war and hatred in this world
Fact4: Your kindness and loving nature are reasons to fact 3
Fact5: Surely from fact 1 till 4 it explains why I should keep you for life
Chorus:
My baby you keep my hopes alive
So now I’m gonna keep my love for you alive
When I’m with you at the mall it makes me proud that people are still turning heads when you pass
Because this is a sign that I chose the Best
I believe that I am also your best
Allow me to say you chose me when you accepted me
So this makes me the best too
Because eagles only fly with eagles
So now the best me is flying on cloud love with the best you
Verse 4
You remind me of the beauty of our rainbow nation
“Sheba, ke ikutlwa ka wena”
“ke ikotla sefuba ka wena” out of pride you brought into my life
When we speak on the phone I still think it’s not enough
Because only your presence I declare deem enough
“Ho thata hoba hole le wena lehakwe la ka”
Translation of Sotho words used in the lyrics
“Ho thata hoba hole le wena lehakwe la ka” = it’s hard to be far from you my beloved darling
““ke ikotla sefuba ka wena ” out of pride you brought into my life = I pat my chest
“Sheba, ke ikutlwa ka wena”= look,I’m proud of you
Ka Sesotho ke re “ke ka wena fela jwale”=in Sesotho I say “It’s all about you”
“O bokamoso ba ka…”= you are my future
