The afro-house single sees budding starlet, Rethabile, sing her heart out over a thumping beat that makes this song a strong contender for song of the year. It is a spiritual offering that chronicles the protagonist’s testimony about God’s glory.
It is an explosive banger fittingly titled ‘Umlilo’,...
[Verse 1: Rethabile]
Kudala ngibona ngiphila kanje
Ngibona ngiphila kanje
Kungenxa yothando lwakhe
Mehlo am' avuliwe
Ndlebe zami zimamele
Mlomo wam' uthetha naye
Thetha naye
Nguye yedwa
Kudala ngibona ngiphila kanje
Ngibona ngiphila kanje
Kungenxa yothando lwakhe yey ye yeye
Mehlo am' avuliwe
Ndlebe zami zimamele
Mlomo wam' uthetha naye
Thetha naye
Nguye yedwa
[Chorus: Rethabile]
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi

Nangu lomlilo
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi
Wavuth' umlilo

Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo wooh
Hayiye yeye (lomlilo lomlilo)
[Verse 2: Rethabile]
Thando lwakho
Ludali milingo, kusukum' iyishosha
Nentando yakho, abangaboni sebeyobona
Mina ngeke ngwazi ukufakazela omuny' umuntu
Kodwa uthando lwakho
Ay mina ngzotshela abaningi
Thando lwakho
Ludali milingo, kusukum' iyishosha
Nentando yakho, abangaboni sebeyobona
Mina ngeke ngwazi ukufakazela omuny' umuntu
Kodwa uthando lwakho
Ay mina ngzotshela abaningi
[Pre-Chorus: Rethabile]
Nangu lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo wooh
Hayiye yeye (lomlilo lomlilo)
[Chorus: Rethabile]
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi
Wavuth' umlilo
Nangu lomlilo
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi
Wavuth' umlilo
Nangu lomlilo
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi
Wavuth' umlilo
Nangu lomlilo
Wavuth' umlilo nama langabi
Wavuth' umlilo
Wavuth' lomlilo
[Post-Chorus: Rethabile]
Nangu lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo lilo lilo
Lomlilo lilo lilo wooh
Hayiye yeye (lomlilo lomlilo)
