Fezeka Dlamini makes her debut as an amapiano artist alongside label-mate Mfana Kah Gogo.
Ukhalelani, which translates to “Why are you crying”, is what Fezeka calls a message of hope and healing. On Kaya 959’s podcast, she says:
I am inspired by a lot of musicians as I grew up listening to music....
[Pre-Chorus: Fezeka Dlamini]
Ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhala ngani
Ay, ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhala ngani?
Ay, ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
[Chorus: Fezeka Dlamini]
Ukhalelani? Wena qinisela
Ukhalelani? Konke kuzo ndlula
Ukhalelani? Impilo ayikho lula
Ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Wena qinisela
Ukhalelani? Konke kuzo ndlula
Ukhalelani? Impilo ayikho lula
Ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
[Verse: Mfana Kah Gogo]
Ishu
Asambe
Ishu
Kubhlungu nenhliziyo kaykwaz ukhushukhushu
Zama yonke im'zamo sebethi ngis' phukuphuku
Banyabaza amandla ami ngoba ngithanda wonke umuntu
Kudala nabangan abangigibel'ekhanda
Shiye ikhaya lami ngoba ngiphilel' ukphanda
Phume noTimon bathi "Hakuna Matata"
Sula zonyembezi wazi uJesu uyak'thanda
Lapha nomama uyangbuza, "ukhalelani?"
Baleka nendlela wemakhosi ngiyavuma
Kube kuya ngami ngabe intwana iyaduma
Kube kuya ngami ngabe intwana iyaduma
Kube kuya ngami ngabe intwana iyaduma
Ay, yavele yaduma, ntwana yaduma
Vele yaduma
Anizwa angiyphinde okagogo lomfana
[Pre-Chorus: Fezeka Dlamini]
Ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhala ngani?
Ay, ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Ukhala ngani?
Ay, ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
[Chorus: Fezeka Dlamini]
Ukhalelani? Wena qinisela
Ukhalelani? Konke kuzo ndlula
Ukhalelani? Impilo ayikho lula
Ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
Ukhalelani? Wena qinisela
Ukhalelani? Konke kuzo ndlula
Ukhalelani? Impilo ayikho lula
Ngtshele ukhalelani? Ukhalelani?
