What "Ama hem hem" means

A love song that stands up to gossip. People call the singer crazy for loving someone for who they are rather than for money, but she feels a burning certainty that this is the one and promises to love him to the end even with empty pockets. She imagines them travelling the world together and says she is never going back home. The mood is tender and defiant.

Abanye bathi ngenziwa ama hem hem
Some people say I am acting crazy
Ukuthi ngithande wena ngoba unezenzo
Just because I love you for your actions
Abazi ukuthi kunalento evutha ngaphakathi
They do not know there is something burning inside
Engitshela ukuthi uyena
That keeps telling me that this is the one
