Verse 1
The journey started back in 2017,
Singelamali ,just dreams and love
Just two hearts holding on through the pain,
Standing together through the sunshine and rain but asizangasatshiyana.
When the world doubted us and said we’d never last,
We kept on building, turning scars into our past.
Every obstacle became a stepping stone,
Because with you, my love, I never walked alone.
Pre-Chorus
Ngiyabonga ngakho konke owangenzela khona,
You stood beside me when I felt alone.
You gave me wisdom, you gave me light,
You helped me see life from a different side.
Chorus
Nigel, my baby, ngiyakuthanda,ng enhliziyweni yami yonke,
You are the heartbeat of our family.
On the 22nd of May, 2022,
I made a promise and I still choose you.
Happy Father’s Day, my love, today,
You’ve led our family in the most beautiful way.
Thank you for loving Leandra, thank you for loving me,
You’re everything I prayed one day you’d be.
Verse 2
Usebenza nzima every single day,
Making sure our little family finds a way.
The sacrifices nobody gets to see,
The strength, the patience, the responsibility.
You’ve been a husband, a partner, a friend,
A brother when I needed guidance again.
A father figure showing me what love can do,
Teaching me lessons that helped me grow too.
Chorus
Nigel, my baby, ngiyakuthanda, ngehliziyo yami yonke,
You are the heartbeat of our family.
On the 22nd of May, 2022,
I made a promise and I still choose you.
Happy Father’s Day, my love, today,
You’ve led our family in the most beautiful way.
Thank you for loving Leandra, thank you for loving me,
You’re everything I prayed one day you’d be.
Bridge (For Leandra)
Leandra Zulu, my little angel from above,
You taught me patience, you taught me love.
My blessing, my joy, my reason to smile,
You make every struggle worthwhile.
Thank you for choosing me to be your mom,
For filling our home with laughter and song.
I may not be perfect, I may not always know,
But every day with you, my love continues to grow.
Final Chorus
Nigel, my baby, this is our song,
We’ve been through battles, but we’ve stayed strong.
May the Lord keep blessing our marriage and home,
And remind us we’re never alone.
To my husband, thank you for all that you do,
To our daughter, my heart belongs to you.
Forever and always, through whatever may come,
You’ll always be my family, my love, my home.
Outro
Ngiyabonga, Baba kaLeandra.
Happy Father’s Day.
We may not have everything,
But together, we have enough.
And I will choose you, over and over again.
