Lyrics

Vuka

Nobody sees me

Behind the mask I wear everyday

I'm smiling and I’m singing

They think that I'm okay

But I can't show them

That I’m broken

And I'm sinking down below, ohh ohh

Oh I

I can't never imagine being this way

Forever

Ixesha malifike inkululeko mayibe yinyaniso

For real

Vuka

Vuka, phantsi komhlaba

Vuka

Vuka awuphelelanga Vuka

Vuk'ubone ukukhanya lapha Vuka

Everybody feels it

But they don't wanna say a word

They see the signs

Too scared to be wrong I know

But try to reach out your hand

Somebody's dying over there

So just speak out, hmm

Ohhh we need a little care

We need a little love

So phakama uthethelele umuntu ongamazi

Cause we need a little help

We need a little love

Right now, right now, right

Vuka

Vuka, phantsi komhlaba

Vuka

Vuka awuphelelanga Vuka

Vuk'ubone ukukhanya lapha Vuka

Oh la la la la

La la ha

La la la la

La la ha

I'm gonna take this mask off

Nizondibona ndingubani na

Yeah

Oh la la la la

La la ha

La la la la

La la ha

I’m gonna take this mask off

Nizondibona ndingubani na

Yeah

Vuka

Vuka, phantsi komhlaba

Vuka

Vuka awuphelelanga Vuka

Vuk’ubone ukukhanya lapha Vuka

Oh, ohh

Vuka, Vuka

Vuka, awe hoo

Yelele, yelele, yelele, we hoo

Vuka, Vuka

Vuka

Vuka, Vuka

Vuka, awe hoo

Yelele, yelele, yelele we hoo

Vuka, Vuka
