Ubala Lyrics - Translated Verse one: Iqiniso liyasihlula, (We basically can't handle the truth,) Bheka manje nginjani. (Look at the state I'm in now.) Ngihlezi lapho, engingajabuli khona. (I'm in an unhappy place.) Ngoba empeleni, (Because truth of the matter is,) Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe; (It's you, it's you, it's you;) Nguwe wedwa bambo lwami. (You are my soul mate.) Ngoba empeleni, (Because the truth of the matter is,) Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe; (It's you, it's you, it's you;) Nguwe iqiniso lame. (You are my reality.) Chorus: Koba nini kodwa ngihlalel' ubala? (Till when am I gonna settle for less?) Khona lang'shoda khona. (Something is missing.) Verse two: Iqiniso liyababa, (The truth is too much for us,) Nam ang'sazi ngenzenjani. (I'm at a point where I don't know what to do.) Ub'suku nemini, (Night & day,) Ingqondo yami iyazulazula. (My mind wanders.) Ngoba empeleni, (Because truth of the matter is,) Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe; (It's you, it's you, it's you;) Nguwe wedwa bambo lwami. (You are my soul mate.) Ngoba empeleni, (Because the truth of the matter is,) Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe; (It's you, it's you, it's you;) Nguwe iqiniso lame. (You are my reality.) Chorus: Koba nini kodwa ngihlalel' ubala? (Till when am I gonna settle for less?) Khona lang'shoda khona. (Something is missing.)
Just last night this song was played in one of the best Clubs in Abu Dhabi.... All africans stood and danced silently.. It gets to the soul.. to the heart..Proud being a Southern 🌍 citi.. CHEERS SIMMY
You know what fascinates me is that there is simi and simmy both have angelic voices and one is from Northern Africa (Nigeria) and one from South Africa
Simmy!!!!! PLEASEEE DO NOT lose touch with Sun El!!! Reasons why: Perfect combination. Outstanding sounds. Marvellous vocals. Strong bond. Please stick with El 😎😎😎 A fan from Botswana
This song hits such a hard note, that moment when you love someone and they take you for granted and they cant see how much you love them... and they can’t see your heart bleed and cry for them
😢 this song reminds me of a female friend i had in my first year in varsity (Durban University of Technology 2018) We became close friend and she was a big sun-el musician fan. She made me listen to his first album Africa To The World & then evidently introduced me to Simmy. We'd sit in empty lecture halls sharing earphones listening to this song. Then 2nd semester she got sick and went bavk home (Durban Marianhil) and that was the last time i saw her coz abruptly her phone stopped. That was how we lost contact. Never saw her again 😭😭 If anyone knows a Nompumelelo Mabaso from Marianhill nimtshele ngthe "Ngyabonga for introducing me to these 2 gems"
Congratulations and being able to make such timeless great music, that's a true art in itself. Simmy you make us very proud to be Africans 🇬🇭 Ghana loves you! 🙌🏿
Sun-EL production is consistent with African sound elements. Afro-mid tempo production is his signature so far. Beautiful song by the way. The lyrics and chorus compliment the production. Wonderful.
EL World TV been following u for long my man....still obsessed with "if eyes were knives"...lol SA hasnt heard anything from u yet...but they will...u never dissapoint
From Kenya with love, Simmy, this has to be the most soulful and sweetest song of this year. Makes you wish to be in love just so you can dedicate it to someone. Cant wait for the album to be released.
*One of the best songs I've EVER heard!* 😃🙌🏾 Woow.. You can really feel the music in your spirit. It's rare to find music that really touches your heart in the way this song does... Absolutely Beautiful 😊🙏🏾💙✌🏾🎨⛅

Ubala Lyrics - Translated
Verse one:
Iqiniso liyasihlula,
(We basically can't handle the truth,)
Bheka manje nginjani.
(Look at the state I'm in now.)
Ngihlezi lapho, engingajabuli khona.
(I'm in an unhappy place.)
Ngoba empeleni,
(Because truth of the matter is,)
Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe;
(It's you, it's you, it's you;)
Nguwe wedwa bambo lwami.
(You are my soul mate.)
Ngoba empeleni,
(Because the truth of the matter is,)
Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe;
(It's you, it's you, it's you;)
Nguwe iqiniso lame.
(You are my reality.)
Chorus:
Koba nini kodwa ngihlalel' ubala?
(Till when am I gonna settle for less?)
Khona lang'shoda khona.
(Something is missing.)
Verse two:
Iqiniso liyababa,
(The truth is too much for us,)
Nam ang'sazi ngenzenjani.
(I'm at a point where I don't know what to do.)
Ub'suku nemini,
(Night & day,)
Ingqondo yami iyazulazula.
(My mind wanders.)
Ngoba empeleni,
(Because truth of the matter is,)
Nguwe, nguwe, nguwe;

Nguwe wedwa bambo lwami.
