Umoya wami onakele kunsela elangena
Lapha enhlizweni yami (X2)
(My spirits are down, a thief has entered my heart)
Laqegeza lathatha uthando lwami lonke,
ngasala ngingenalutho
(The thief has broken into my heart and taken all my love,
and I remain totally empty, I remain with nothing)
I remember the summer but not the rain,
A memory of fire but not the pain
There's a vision in my head of a gun on the bed
A message in your eyes which your lips never said:
I want your crocodile love.
I'm on the runway and I'm ready to fly
I know I'm going to find you under the sky
Oooh yea, it's a mighty fine day
Oooh yea, you are coming my way....
With your crocodile love.
I want your crocodile love.
Umoya wami onakele nansi inkinga
Isingena enhlizweni yami (X2)
(My spirits are down, there's a problem
that has entered my heart)
Inyakaza ngaphakathi ingwenya
Ifuna ukungiqeda yami (X2)
(I feel it moving inside me, a crocodile,
it wants to devour me, I feel it moving inside my heart)
I never quite know what you're going to do
Heal my soul or cut me through
Like a sacrificial lamb
Like a green marine in Vietnam
If you touch me now I will fly like a bleeding dove
Oooh... I want your crocodile love.
I'm on the runway, and I'm ready to fly
I know I'll meet you under the sky
Oh yea, I'll come from above
Oh yea, I want your crocodile love...
This is not the one
This is the one
This is not the one....
