Uthando Lwakho, my original isiZulu Love Song, written for Toya Delazy inspired by her song Memoriam for her departed Mother #RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=5waHSthGQwM this song is for all people who have to say goodbye, and who cannot be together because of religious, cultural or physical reasons.

UTHANDO LWAKHO

Ooh, Yeah…
Uthando Lwakho, Uthando Lwami,
Uthando Lwethu... Ngunaphakade!
Uthando Lwakho, Uthando Lwami,

Ngiphakamisele phezulu sthandwa,

Uthando Lwakho, Uthando Lwami,
Uthando Lwethu... Ngunaphakade!
Uthando Lwakho, Uthando Lwami,

Uthando, Uthando, Uthando, Lwethu!

Translation:
"Your love, my love, our love...
Forever!
Lift me higher.
Hold me dear one,
until the morning comes.
I am with you,
Love me,
Stay with me,
Stay with me,
Stay with me"
