Johnny Clegg&Savuka Crocodile Love Ya Vuka Inkunzi Lyrics
1.Tatazela

'sishimane gijima ushon' ezinyangeni
Uyamazi nkunzi emnyama? (x2)
(hey! unsuccessful lover man, you had better hurry to a
magician,
Do you know one called 'the black bull'?)
Igama lami nkunzi emnyama
(my name is black bull)
Yimi nkunzi emnyama
(i am black bull)
Ngicitha amasoka
(i can magically defeat your rivals in love)
'sishimane gijima ushon' ezinyangeni
Kuyo tatazela amasoka
(hey! unsuccessful lover man, hurry to a magician,
And he will cause all your rivals to become insecure)
Isoka latatazela
(the amorous young buck is nervous because....)
Intombi ifuna ukwendlala
(the young girl wants to stay the night)
Itshitshi limnandi, itshitshi limnandi njengoshukela
(a virgin is sweet, a virgin is sugar sweet)
'sishimane gijima ushon' ezinyangeni
(hey unsuccessful lover man....)
Azokwehlula amasoka
(your amorous rivals will coax away your girl)
Wo! dem buladi fhulu, nkunzi emnyama
Wehlula amasoka, shona kunkunzi emnyama
Can overcome your rivals in love, go and see him!)
Igama lami nkunzi emnyama
(my name is black bull)
Inkunzi ecitha amasoka
(the bull that causes young men to lose their girlfriends)
Ngidida amasoka
(i am the one who with magic can upset the plans of amorous
young men)
Chorus


2.Crocodile Love

Umoya wami onakele kunsela elangena
Lapha enhlizweni yami (x2)
(my spirits are down, a thief has entered my heart)
Laqegeza lathatha uthando lwami lonke,
Ngasala ngingenalutho
(the thief has broken into my heart and taken all my love,
And i remain totally empty, i remain with nothing)
I remember the summer but not the rain,
A memory of fire but not the pain
There's a vision in my head of a gun on the bed
A message in your eyes which your lips never said:
I want your crocodile love.
I'm on the runway and i'm ready to fly
I know i'm going to find you under the sky
Oooh yea, it's a mighty fine day
Oooh yea, you are coming my way....
With your crocodile love.
I want your crocodile love.
Umoya wami onakele nansi inkinga
Isingena enhlizweni yami (x2)
(my spirits are down, there's a problem
That has entered my heart)
Inyakaza ngaphakathi ingwenya
Ifuna ukungiqeda yami (x2)
(i feel it moving inside me, a crocodile,
It wants to devour me, i feel it moving inside my heart)
I never quite know what you're going to do
Heal my soul or cut me through
Like a sacrificial lamb
Like a green marine in vietnam
If you touch me now i will fly like a bleeding dove
Oooh... i want your crocodile love.
I'm on the runway, and i'm ready to fly
I know i'll meet you under the sky
Oh yea, i'll come from above
Oh yea, i want your crocodile love...
This is not the one
This is the one
This is not the one....


3.Tholakele(A Girl's Name)

Wetholakele ngiyakuthanda
Wetholakele ungiphoxa ngento eyodwa wetholakele (x2)
(tholakele i love you tholakele
But you upset me badly over one thing...)
Wayifakelani idelela mawulahla umlenze
Wayifakelani ibeleza (x2)
(why do you wear jeans and sell yourself in the street,
Why do you wear bellbottoms?)
Chorus
Wayifakelani idelela mawulahla umlenze
Wayifakelani ibeleza
(why do you sell yourself and wear jeans and bellbottoms?)
Into-ni lo ongenza yona?
Uma ulahla umlenze, into-ni lo ongenza yona?
(what are you doing to me
By secretly streetwalking, what are you doing to me?)


4.Studla Sami(My Big Lady)

She's round like the moon, loves like a big monsoon
And she keeps me crazy
Like a great gondola on a midnight lake
She floats in my heart big and lazy
She says, 'i'm your studla' (big lady)
I'm your cream cake
I'm your lucky packet
I'm your falling planet
I'll make your night sky dance for the sun.'
Chorus
Studla sami sihle
(my big lady is beautiful)
Sizwana namatonkomane
(and she loves peanuts)
Studla sami uma sigida
Kunyakaza wonke umhlaba
(my big lady, when she dances
The whole world shakes)
Across her latitudes
Shapes of coloured moods
Magic geometry
An appetite for words
She talks the sun to sleep
And invites the moon to touch her sea
She says, 'i'm your studla' (big lady)
I'm your rushing ocean
I will never end
I am your true friend
You only conquered me
Because i let you
Chorus


5.Isoka Lizokuthatha(A Young Man Will Take You Away)

Sizwa ukukhala emzini wendoda
(we hear crying in the home of a man)
Kukhala intombazane
(it is a young girl who is crying)
Ithi, 'wemama, ngiyesaba ukuya emzini
(she says, 'mama, i am afraid to go to the house of my
husband-to-be)
Bathi ibodwe liyashisa
(they say his family is very difficult)
Wenhliziyo zami sezimbili
(my heart is divided into two,)
Enye ithi angihambe, enye ithi angibuye le khaya'
(one heart says i should go, the other heart says i should
Stay here at home and not get married')
Chorus
Thula mntanami nawe uyazi
(be quiet, my child, you always knew the truth)
Thula mntanami isoka lizokuthatha
(be quiet, my child, a young man will be coming to take
You away and marry you)
Thula mntanami nawe uyazi
(be quiet, my child, you always knew)
Thula mntanami, uzohamba le khaya
(be quite, my child, for you will have to leave your family
And your home, and join your husband's family)
Isoka lizokuthatha
(because a young man will take you away)
Lizokuthatha isoka
(he will take you, this young man)
Sizwa ukukhala emzini wendoda
(we hear crying in the home of a man)
Kukhala intombazane
(it is a young girl who is crying)
Ithi, 'uma ngikhumbula ukukhula kwami
(she says, 'when i remember the good times i had growing up)
Phakhathi kwalomuzi kababa
(in the house of my father)
Ngiyesaba, ngiyesaba ukushiya ekhaya
(i become afraid, i become afraid of leaving home)
'zinhliziyo zami sezimbili'
(my heart is split in two, i am so uncertain')
Chorus


6.Journey's End(Emalonjeni)

Every day now when i wake up
You know i feel just a little bit stronger
I stir my coffee with the promise i'll find you
Although i know the road is much longer
How many times i've sat and prayed
I'd find some map to show the way
How many times i've felt each day
Laugh at me and just slip away
Chorus
I don't know where you are
My eyes are fixed upon your star
I know that that at the journey's end
I will see your face again
Indlela 'yasidedela
(the way is now clear for us)
Sihamb' emalonjeni
(we begin our long journey)
Another highway, another mile
Through the dreamtime, down the nile
Under the desert sky blue
I have a picture of loving you
How many nights i lie awake
Feeling your footprints in my soul
How many miles will it now take
To fill this cup and make it whole
Chorus
Sihamba singadlile, lasho ithumbo
(we travel hungry, and our stomachs talk to us)
Chorus

8.Circle Of Light

In the history of all dreams
None has shone as brightly as you
Wrestling with your book of colours
Page by page i look for clues
>from the gloom of my dark window
I know one day i will make that flight, i will.....
Chorus
Step into your circle of light
Ye le le mama
Between jesus and my ancestors
Between my tribe and my 'urban cool'
Lies a bridge never crossed by any other
I cross that distance with my sacred shoes
Who needs the stars if you can see the moon
Because in my dreams you keep shining through, i will....
Chorus
Step into your circle of light
Ye le le mama
I'll cross your ocean tonight
Ye le le mama
Into your circle of light
I will leave the house of my father
I do not dream there any more
Dance across the silence of the future
And make for tomorrow's shifting shores
I've got the wind to my back
I've got the moon in my eye
I've got the earth beneath my feet and i'm steady
I've got to meet the dealer and trade a lost soul,
I feel strong and i'm ready....
Chorus

12.Love Is Just A Dream

Something in the way she moves
In the way she touches me
In a way that no one can ever do
Something in the way i feel
When she's standing there
Makes me feel more real than the rain
Igama lami 'nkunzi emnyama
(my name is 'black bull')
Yimi 'nkunzi emnyama
(i am 'black bull')
Ngicitha amasoka
(i am the one who tests young men in love)
Standing on the corner
There's nothing warmer
Than holding her hard and close to me
Chorus
Isoka latatazela
(this young man is nervous)
Lentombi ifuna ukwendlala
(because the young girl wants to stay the night)
Itshitshi limnandi itshitshi limnandi njengoshukela
(a virgin is sweet, a virgin is sugar sweet)
We're sitting at the river's end
She smiles and says to me
'make my heart beat like a drum'
Time, time, time, can we hold the line?
Can i keep this picture forever?
Igama lami 'nkunzi emnyama
(my name is 'black bull')
Yimi 'nkunzi emnyama
(i am 'black bull')
Ngicitha amasoka
(i am the one who tests young men in love)
Love is just a dream by another name
Love is just a dream.
