Simply Bridgy
“Kgoeni hlahladlela ngomzimba abanye bayihlahlangenyawo
inyoni sakhakumbi yasilisa umlomo esdodotsheni
wena nronjana wakasomkgawu
wena matinininizana, wobawobana owahoba ingwe ngomlenze
matininizana owathi bafazi bakwakgoeni khambani niy' emakhenu ikomo le sosala siyidl' nenjana zikababa
wenaphanruphanrwana, wena owadla amasi ngophondo
wenahlokohloko lomlambo phofolo, ghadiali, mabalo, kgoeni”
Ndlovukazi, ntombi Kwa Mathibela, Msuthu
Ingilozi, Isimomondia,
Umtwana o muhle nje nge Jerusalema,
Phuma langa sikothe
Wathinta inhliziyo yam’, nga futumala
Dudlu ntombazana, Kwa vela wena ilanga la veza umona,
Ukhanya kundlula inyanga ne inkanyezi
See you are an artistic Picasso in a life form
Art with beauty sharper than lightning in a storm
A voice that resembles a classic love song
Composed from guitar strings and piano keys
Thoughts of you….. Long breath…..heart skipped a beat
My tongue praising the truth of your beauty
An African Queen blazing fire indeed
Pink blushes from your yellow bone skin
Picture our lips lock like a daylight dream
Framed in gold, I’m wishing for a never ending stream
As my ink dries on paper, words fade like vapor
May the darkness shiver as light shines upon you
May the rivers forever take refuge in your beautiful smile
May the winds find peace in your shining eyes
Now and forever till the end of time….
