Verse 1

Ubuth’ uzam’ ukungiqeda kodwa wena awungibulalanga, uweh 
(You tried to end me but you didn’t kill me, uweh)
Ubuthi seng’phelile kanti wena ubuz’tshel’ amanga, uwe eh a
(You thought I was finished but you were lying to yourself, uwe eh a)

Mina ng’sekhona, inzondo yakho iyang’qinisa
(I’m still here, your hatred strengthens me)
Seng’ngakhalipha, uma ngiwa ngingaphakama
(I’ve become smarter, when I fall I can rise)
Udlala Wedwa 
(You’re playing by yourself)
Klimala wena
(You are the one getting hurt)

Chorus
Aw’boni na? Uyaz’khathaza nje
(Can’t you see that you’re tiring yourself)
Aw’boni na? Uyang’khuthaza nje, seng’phumile,
(Can’t you see that you’re encouraging me, I’m no longer involved)
Udlala Wedwa 
(You’re playing by yourself)

Verse 2

Ubuthi ngyak’limaza kant’ uwena  oz’qed’amandla, uwe e
(You thought I was the one suppressing you, uwe e)
Angikuzondi ngixolile ngik’fisel’ inhlanhla, impela 
(I don’t hate you, I’ve forgiven and I wish you luck, indeed)

Mina ng’sekhona, inzondo yakho iyang’qinisa
(I’m still here, your hatred strengthens me)
Seng’ngakhalipha, uma ngiwa ngingaphakama
(I’ve become smarter, when I fall I can rise)
Udlala Wedwa 
(You’re playing by yourself)
Klimala wena
(You are the one getting hurt)
