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"
