She's round like the moon, loves like a big monsoon
|
And she keeps me crazy
|
Like a great gondola on a midnight lake
|
She floats in my heart big and lazy
|
She says, "I'm your studla" (big lady)
|
I'm your cream cake
|
I'm your lucky packet
|
I'm your falling planet
|
I'll make your night sky dance for the sun."
|
Chorus
|
Studla sami sihle
|
(My big lady is beautiful)
|
Sizwana namatonkomane
|
(and she loves peanuts)
|
Studla sami uma sigida
|
Kunyakaza wonke umhlaba
|
(my big lady, when she dances
|
the whole world shakes)
|
Across her latitudes
|
Shapes of coloured moods
|
Magic geometry
|
An appetite for words
|
She talks the sun to sleep
|
And invites the moon to touch her sea
|
She says, "I'm your studla" (big lady)
|
I'm your rushing ocean
|
I will never end
|
I am your true friend
|
You only conquered me
|
Because I let you
|
Chorus
