mellody Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Official lyrics from Youtube: Whisper out your name I’m on fire Crawling on my skin Oh my god Underneath the sky I feel cold Not wearing a thing You’ve got to hold Love, feels like fire Every step it takes me higher And your skin What its for Let the truth lead us to more Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire And if all the stars should fall upon my skin Would it even hurt at all, just let me in And I don’t care if the world can see From the desert to the ocean let it all pour down on me Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire I write love on the sand Someone might hear if I whisper Air so dry in our land (komile) Ngivikele as I hide between your shoulders Love feels like fire (mlilo) Warms my heart and takes me high (wavuth’ umlilo umlilo) Your arms, what are they for? Hold me tight and never let me go (Wavuth’ umlilo umlilo) Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire And if all the stars should fall upon my skin Would it even hurt at all, just let me in And I don’t care if the world can see From the desert to the ocean let it all pour down on me Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Your love feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Feels like fire Your love it feels like fire Feels like fire Your love it feels like fire 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there Zulu words replacing some English words 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they're not singing something that sounds obviously different, like in Keep it Simple. Maybe Mika told the ones who made the video to look for inspiration on MFC and pick what they like best of our suggestions. But interesting to find out what she's singing in Zulu, obviously that made it hard to understand the "between your shoulders" line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinyLove_CJ Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 On 2/3/2023 at 2:11 PM, TinyLove_CJ said: I'm wondering if she is singing in the Zulu language. The zulu word "yomile" means arid and "omile" means dry, it could be that she's repeating the line before but in her native language 🤔 So I was right all along that Nomfundo is singing in Zulu! It's a lovely language and I'm glad she was allowed to use it for this song and that the production company didn't think it needed to be all in English to appeal to western media. It's certainly more authentic this way and gives it a true African feeling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 When listening more closely to the live version recently, I noticed 2 changes compared to the recorded one. Well there were more changes, but these 2 stood out to me, because they change the meaning of the lyrics a little. The first one was "people might hear if I whisper" instead of "someone might hear..." - which changes, or maybe rather clarifies the meaning imo. So far, I thought it was about realizing that you need to talk about your love to get heard and receive love in return. That probably was from when we still thought she sings "I right now understand". But with this little change it rather sounds like "I write it in the sand because I don't want anyone to hear it" - a contradiction to "I don't care if the world can see". Maybe it's the 2 people talking in the song, one says "I don't care if the world can see" and the other one is worried that people might hear of their love. The other change is the word she sings in Zulu, "Ngivikele", it sounds more like she sings "Nimomele", but Google doesn't give me any results for that in Zulu. I don't know if it is an actual word, with the same or a different meaning, or maybe she just forgot the lyrics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
