Lyrics
Take me back to the times by the river
Yearning to revisit moments spent by the river
When we used to swim till late
Recollection of swimming until late hours
Take me back to the times when the children
Nostalgia for the times when children played outdoors all day
Used to play outside all day
Remembrance of children's active outdoor play
Higher higher oh higher
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being uplifted and elevated
You take me higher higher oh higher
-Higher higher oh higher
-You take me higher higher oh higher
-Take me back to the times by the river
-When we used to swim till late
-Take me back to the times when the children
-Used to play outside all day
-Higher higher oh higher
-You take me higher higher oh higher
-Higher higher oh higher
-You take me higher higher oh higher
-Take me back
Desire to return to a joyful, laughter-filled past
Make me laugh
-Bring me joy
-Make me yours
-Take me back
-Make me laugh
-Bring me joy
-Make me yours
-Higher higher oh higher
Continued emphasis on being lifted higher, emotionally or spiritually
You take me higher higher oh higher
-Higher higher oh higher
-You take me higher higher oh higher
-Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
Expression in Zulu possibly reinforcing the ease of loving someone
Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
-Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
-Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
-Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
-Kwaze kwalula ukuthanda wena
-Higher higher
Reiteration of the desire for elevation and emotional transcendence
Higher higher
-Higher higher
-Higher higher
