I've been thing about the way I think about my thinking
I have a feeling that our little boat is sinking
I don't know anymore what it is she sees in me
Maybe the promise of the man I used to be
Somewhere long ago we lost our way
Stop the clock and start again
If I could freeze the sun in the sky
I could go back in time
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way, king of time!

Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga (king of time)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (hold the line)
Wolibamba ilanga, (she'll be mine)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (we'll be fine)
Wolibamba ilanga, hawusashela le ntombi

She remembers things I said long ago
We're trapped in the past the future won't flow
If I could travel back in time your heart would never break
Change the past and fix my mistake
We could wake up to a brand new day
Whistling our troubles away
If I could speak to the king of time
He could erase and rewind
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way, king of time!

Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga (king of time)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (hold the line)
Wolibamba ilanga, (she'll be mine)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (we'll be fine)
Wolibamba ilanga, hawusashela le ntombi

Putting on my thinking cap
Dreaming of my victory lap
Looking for the motherlode
Hoping my head don't explode
My crazy ballerina loves the zulu concertina
Dancing through my memories
Man you should have seen her, king of time!

Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni
Wolibamba ilanga (king of time)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni (hold the line)
Wolibamba ilanga, (she'll be mine)
Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni 
Wolibamba ilanga, king of time

Ohh-oh, oh-ohh
King of time, ohh-oh, oh-ohh
I give it all up, ohh-oh
I give it all up for you, oh-ohh
I give it all up, ohh-oh
I give it all up for you, oh-ohh
Hawusashela le ntombi
