Ndlovu Youth Choir - Jolene

Nakho phela lahamb'isoka lami (Isoka lam)
Jolene wamuhle ntombazane (Wenntombazane)
Nakho phela lahamb'isoka lami (Isoka lam)
Jolene wamuhle ntombazane (Wentombazane)

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man (Ntombazane)
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can (WeJolene)
Jolene wena ubuhle bakho buqhakazile njalo (Ngiyak'cela boh)
Akekh'omunye ofana nawe Jolene (Wentombazane)

Your beauty is beyond compare (Jolene wena ubuhle bakho buqhakazile njalo)
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green (Akekh'omunye ofana nawe Jolene)
Your smile is like a breath of spring (Jolene wena ubuhle bakho buqhakazile njalo)
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you Jolene (Akekh'omunye ofana nawe Jolene)
He talks about you in his sleep (Jolene wena ubuhle bakho buqhakazile njalo)
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name (Akekh'omunye ofana nawe Jolene)
Jolene (Wentombazane)
And I can easily understand (Jolene wena ubuhle bakho buqhakazile njalo)
How you could easily take my man (Ngiyak'cela boh)
But you don't know what he means to me Jolene (Akekh'omunye ofana nawe Jolene) (Wentombazane)

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene (Ngiyak'cela boh)
I'm begging of you please don't take my man (Wentombazane)
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene (Ngyak'cela boh)
Please don't take him just because you can (Wentombazane)
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again (Ngyak'cela boh)
He's the only one for me Jolene (Wentombazane)
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you (Ngyak'cela boh)
And whatever you decide to do Jolene (Wentombazane)

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene (Ngyak'cela boh)
I'm begging of you please don't take my man (Wentombazane)
Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene (Ngyak'cela boh)
Please don't take him even though you can
Singabang'indoda maye ungalithath'isoka la
Singabang'indoda maye ungalithath'isoka la
Singabang'indoda maye ungalithath'isoka lami
Singabangindoda maye ungayithath'indoda yami

Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene
I'm begging of you I'm begging of you I'm begging of you I'm begging of you (Ngiyak'cela boh)
Please don't take him even though you can
