Nomalizo Songtext
von Letta Mbulu

Nomalizo
Came from the countryside
Came to the city
The golden city
Where life is tricky

Nomalizo
Came chasing her dream
Where many had walked before
Fallen hopes, faded dreams
Somebody just shut the door (Shut the door in their face)
In the golden city
Where life is tricky, tricky, yeah yeah

Nomalizo mtakwethu bathi kulikhuni kule lizwe
(Nomalizo akuni mvul′ aphekhaya)
Nomalizo mtakwethu bathi kulikhuni kule lizwe
(Nomalizo akuni mvul' aphekhaya)
Nomalizo mtakwethu, bathi kuyobuya kulunge
(Bawo kuzawubuye kulunge mtakwethu)


There was a time when this whole life was a village
Happy days, loving eyes, kiss the sun and catch the sky
Walk together, eat together, every man a brother
That was then
So very different from the golden city
Where life is tricky, tricky

Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back, I want it back
Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (Give it back to me)
I want it back (Peace of mind)

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (Give it back to me)
I want it back (Peace of mind)

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (I want it back)
I want it back (Peace of mind)

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (Give it back to me)
I want it back (I want it back right now)


Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (Give it back to me)
I want it back (Give it back to me)

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (From a brother and sister)
I want it back

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time (Feeling)
Feeling, give it back (I want it back)
I want it back (Give it back to me)

Give me that old (Give me that old time)
Time
