Nipende

When I was fifteen

You were seventeen

I was your everything

No one could tell us nothing

We were both high on this love thing

We broke the rules

We set the bars high high high

When I was twenty-four

I said I do to the love of my life

And though we didn't have much

We had each other

And that was enough

I found the one

And he found me

We guarded our love a little bit strongly

And he was mine, mine alone

I knew I'd never ever be alone

But now the glass slipper doesn't fit no more

Into your lovely eyes

And now my hair doesn't fall to the ground

To pick you up when you are down

Nipende vile vile ulinipenda zama

Usiniache mimi pweke

Nipende vile vile ulinipenda zama

Usiniache mimi pweke

Nipende mimi

Kama zama

Nipende mimi

Kama zama

When I was thirty-five, you were thirty-seven

And the children were our heaven

We started drifting apart

Coming home with receipts

Of hotels and motels

In a cold cold night

When I was fourty-five, you were fourty-seven

And you were spreading your wings

She is twenty-four living in a house that you paid for

What the hell do you take me for

But now the glass slipper doesn't fit no more

Into your lovely eyes

And now my hair doesn't fall to the ground

To pick you up when you are down

Nipende vile vile ulinipenda zama

Usiniache mimi pweke

Nipende vile vile ulinipenda zama

Usiniache mimi pweke

Nipende mimi

Kama zama

Nipende mimi
