Studla Sami Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

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
