Lyrics

[Intro]
Nomalizo
Came from the countryside
Came to the city
The golden city
Where life is tricky
[Verse 1]
Nomalizo
Came chasing her dream
Where many had walked before
Fallen hopes, faded dreams
Somebody just shut the door
Shut the door in their face
In the golden city
Where life is tricky, tricky, yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
Nomalizo mtakwethu bathi kulikhuni kule lizwe
Nomalizo akuni mvul' aphekhaya
Nomalizo mtakwethu bathi kulikhuni kule lizwe
Nomalizo akuni mvul' aphekhaya
Nomalizo mtakwethu, bathi kuyobuya kulunge
Bawo kuzawubuye kulunge mtakwethu
[Verse 3]
There was a time when this whole life was a village
Happy days, loving eyes, kiss the sun and catch the sky
Walk together, eat together, every man a brother
That was then
So very different from the golden city
Where life is tricky, tricky
[Verse 4]
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
[Verse 5]
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
[Verse 6]
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
[Outro]
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
Give me back that old time feeling
Give it back
I want it back
