(Intro – bruit de train qui siffle au loin + voix douce) "Uhambe wena… futhi angisakwazi ukuhlala" (accords mineurs + log drum qui arrive en douceur, comme un battement de cœur) (HOOK – drop mélancolique) "Uhambe wena – now the nights feel cold" From kasi lights to the empty road Eish, mina ng’yazi, you’re far away But this beat gon’ make me sway (Verse 1) We used to dance till the sunrise hit Now I’m here alone, can’t believe this split "Sharp-sharp" love, then it fade so fast All those moments now in the past From Lesotho hills to Jozi street Every corner we used to meet Ha ke sa le teng, you said goodbye Now it’s just me and the city sky (Pre-Chorus) I still hear your laugh in the bassline low I still feel your touch when the log drums go Every step I take feels just the same Dancing alone, but I call your name (Chorus) Uhambe wena – my heart still beats Even if you left, I’m on my feet We dance through pain, we turn the page Life’s a party, even in this stage (Verse 2) Mbabane nights, Maboneng days Your scent still lingers in these ways Ayeye! The crowd don’t know my pain I smile, I groove, hide it in the rain From the first drop till the lights go out I’m here, I live, that’s what it’s about You took the love, but I keep the fire Dancing alone to lift me higher (Bridge – montée lente + voix chuchotée) "Ha o sa khona… but I’m still here" Log drum revient plus fort, avec chœur en fond (Final Chorus + outro) Uhambe wena – yet the groove goes on Even without you, life’s still a song From kasi nights to the morning light I’ll keep on dancing till I feel alright
