I was travelling home kuloliwe kuthwa ngumetro
I was feeling tired
Sitting next to a young boy, looking so sweet, looking so NICE
I said, "Mfana wakuthi, tell me, uphuma kuphina?"
He said, "Sister wakuthi, I come from the ghetto…
You know; the one they call Soweto?
Hello hello hello hello hello"
Train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
Getting together on train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
Tyhin' ndiqale nin' ukuba
Yitsheri yakho
Hayi wethu susa
Izandla zakho
He was quite a young boy
Engekashevi nokusheva, smooth as water
But I was shocked at his idea:
He said, "Sister, you and me, let's get together"
He said, "Sister wakuthi, tell me, uphuma kuphina
I said, "Mfana wakuthi, I come from the kasi,
On the outskirts of the Mother City
Hello hello hello hello hello"
I said, "Hayi, hayi, hayi Thixo wam sendithandana nomZulu-
My god! I've fallen in love with a Zulu!"
And this cannot be because
Julle ken vir my, I'm a Xhosa woman
He said, "Sister wakuthi come on lets blom-a together"
I said, "Mfana wakuthi, lets go to the kasi…
You know the one they call the Mother City
Hello hello hello hello hello."
Train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
Getting together on train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
Train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything!

(I was travelling home on the train they call the metro
I was feeling tired
Sitting next to a young boy, looking so sweet, looking so NICE
I said, "My brother, tell me, where are you from?"
He said, "Sister wakuthi, I come from the ghetto…
You know; the one they call Soweto?
Hello hello hello hello hello."
Train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
Getting together on train love is a very beautiful thing
You meet a man and he promise he will give you everything
When did I start being your cherry?
No man… take your hands off me!
He was quite a young boy
Hadn't shaved in his life; smooth as water
But I was shocked at his idea:
He said, "Sister, you and me, let's get together"
He said, "My sister, tell me, where are you from?"
I said, "My brother, I come from the township…
On the outskirts of the Mother City
Hello hello hello hello hello"
I said, "Hayi, hayi, hayi Thixo wam sendithandana nomZulu-
My god! I've fallen in love with a Zulu!"
And this cannot be because
You know me; I'm a Xhosa woman
He said, "My sister, come on lets hang out together
I said, "Mfana wakuthi, lets go to the kasi…
You know the one they call the Mother City
Hello hello hello hello hello"
