Haibo (Laughter)

Verse 1

Ngi-ngedwa

Hungry heart hallow

Cold floors in Durban

Buka lapha

The rain washes salt

Dirt under my fingernails

Waze wangishiya

Broken bottles in the gravel

Bare feet walking south

Chorus

Haibo

Please make me laugh

Thantaza

Help me forget his face

Just make me laugh again

Won’t you let me smile

One more time

Drop

Haibo haibo

Just laugh again

Verse 2

I checked the fridge

Nothing but sour milk

Shadows on the drywall

Waze wangihlekisa

Before the fire went out

Empty wallet on the table

Uyaphi manje

Looking for a way home

Thinking about our old jokes

Thinking about the morning bread

Chorus

Haibo

Please make me laugh

Thantaza

Help me forget his face

Just make me laugh again

Won’t you let me smile

One more time

Drop

Haibo haibo

Just laugh again

Bridge

Give it back

I lost my spark

I lost my way

I lost it all

Washed away in the tide

Gone in the wind

Gone in the night

Tell me a funny story

About the dog in the yard

About the girl with the red shoes

Ubungishilo

Please find the funny part

I’m tired of crying

Chorus

Haibo

Please make me laugh

Thantaza

Help me forget his face

Just make me laugh again

Won’t you let me smile

One more time

Drop

Haibo haibo

Just laugh again

Smile again

Laugh again
