[Verse 1]
Nanga lamathunzi afika nenyani (Here are the shadows that come with the truth)
Ahamba nelanga, nokuncuma kwam (They went with the sun, and my smile)
Andikwaz' uk'lala (I can't sleep)
Ingqondo iyala (The mind refuses)
Kubuya ingcinga (The thought returns)
Zokuzibulala (Of suicide)

[Chorus]
Ndinovalo (Oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh) (I'm Afriad)
Ndinovalo (Oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh) (I'm Afriad)

[Verse 2]
Emini nd'yakwazi, ukuphilisana nani (During the day I was able to get along with you)
Ndincuma ndiveze elokugqibela, ndibaleka iimibuzo (I smile and reveal the last one, running away from the questions)
Ewe andifuni kukubuzwa (Well, I don't want to be asked)
Ngoba ukukhala akusizi (Because crying doesn't help)
Ngakho ndifihla zonke intlungu zam (So I hidе all my sorrows)
Ndilinde ubusuku (Ndilinde ubusuku) (I'm waiting for the night)

[Chorus]
Ndinovalo (Oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
Ndinovalo (Oooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)

[Outro]
Ndolulеl' isandla (I extended my hand)
Kumnyama empilweni yam' (It's dark in my life')
Ndolulel' isandla (I extended my hand)
Kumnyama (It's dark)
