A song, "Buyisa", on youtube by the very sexy Ringo Madlingozi. I think the lyrics mean 'bring back the love' but will need to check. It comes from an album of the same name.
Some rather prosaic izibonelo from isiZulu Oxford Living Dictionary:
Buyisa umazisi kamfowethu!
Return my brother's ID!
Udle waze wabuyisa.
She at too much and vomited.
(That was me at my third birthday party.)
