She's round like the moon, loves like a big monsoon

And she keeps me crazy

Like a great gondola on a midnight lake

She floats in my heart big and lazy

She says, "I'm your studla" (big lady)

I'm your cream cake

I'm your lucky packet

I'm your falling planet

I'll make your night sky dance for the sun."

Chorus

Studla sami sihle

(My big lady is beautiful)

Sizwana namatonkomane

(and she loves peanuts)

Studla sami uma sigida

Kunyakaza wonke umhlaba

(my big lady, when she dances

the whole world shakes)

Across her latitudes

Shapes of coloured moods

Magic geometry

An appetite for words

She talks the sun to sleep

And invites the moon to touch her sea

She says, "I'm your studla" (big lady)

I'm your rushing ocean

I will never end

I am your true friend

You only conquered me

Because I let you

Chorus
