REFRESHING SOUNDS - Poptain's 'Before' Lyrics

By ZimLyric

Before by Poptain is a melodic, love-inclined song which pays homage to the sounds that thrust Zimbabwean music on map.

In Before, an emotive track expressing the complexities of the matters of the heart, Poptain tells a story about a woman who has been in many unsuccessful relationships and is looking for something new and fresh; the guy in the story is an old friend who has always loved her but knows he won’t be able to tell her anything different from before. Nothing different from what other previous suitors have said. So he will have to prove it with his actions.

 

Chisimukawo tieende mudiwaa

Bata chako ini ndibabte changu

Tiite tese tiende

Simukawoka tiende mudiwaa

Akuruma nzeve ndewako ita iwe neni tiende.

The truth is I love you

But I can not promise to tell you things

You never heard before

Of course yes I love you

And I promise I’m not like whoever, you were with before

You were with before

You were with before

I can never be like whoever you were with before

Never heard before (before)

Never heard before (before)

I can never tell you things you never heard before

Chisimukawo tieende mudiwaa

Bata chako ini ndibate changu

Tiite tese tiende

Simukawoka tiende mudiwaa

Akuruma nzeve ndewako ita iwe neni tiende

I can’t tell you no new lie

But I can give you a new life

Do me I do you

Make you amaze me

Make me ask what you do

Read you bedtime story

I'll make you get to know me

Love we balance

I go give you a chance

To reminisce when you were four.

Ndokupa rudo rwaunoshuva

Iwe wandosuwa

Rudo rwemashuwa

The truth is I love you

But I can not promise

To tell you things

You never heard before

Of course yes I love you

And I promise I’m not like whoever, you were with before

You were with before

You were with before

I can never be like whoever you were with before

Never heard before (before)

Never heard before (before)

I can never tell you things you never heard before.

Chisimukawo tieende mudiwaa

Bata chako ini ndibate changu

Tiite tese tiende

Simukawoka tiende mudiwaa

Akuruma nzeve ndewako ita iwe neni tiende

You were with before

You were with before

I can never be like whoever you were with before

Never heard before (before)

Never heard before (before)

I can never tell you things you never heard before
