With those chubby cheeks
And curvy eyes
There was nothing that flowed
Magically like those salty and crispy tears
They were tears of love
Tears of hurt
Tears of waiting and waiting
Tears of giving out so much without receiving
They were tears of memories
Tears of happiness vanishing
Into the sea, I cried a river
They were beautiful to you
The tears that made my eyes glitter
As if I was staring at the stars
They were so beautiful bowungafunga ukuthi eze njabulo
Ngazikhala izinyembezi zoma,
Ngazikhala inyembezi ngaceda
Wangibuka wahleka
Wangibuka wehlela
Wavalelisa,
Zazizinhle kuwe
As you slowly rub my cheeks…
Beautiful tears…
