Imnandi lento — English translation

Mellow & Sleazy · zulu → English

What "Imnandi lento" means

Imnandi Lento is a Zulu-language party track. The phrase means roughly "this thing is sweet," and the song never quite names the "thing", which can be read as the music, the nightlife or the pleasure of spending. The singer says it is so good that it nearly wrecked his savings and worried those around him, because it makes him want to throw money around and dance all night. The mood is playful and indulgent, with a wink about overspending.

Ingom' ingenza ng'phole, indlela inok'khohlwa
When I make music with a full heart, the way forward can't be forgotten
Ukuthi ke sonke sinemizwa
Because we all have feelings
Lento inokung'phonsa edamini yem'khokha
This thing can shake the foundations of my home
Nomasekunjalo ng'yayizwa
Even so, it was heard
