Johnny Clegg - Asimbonanga (Mandela) lyrics
[Johnny Clegg - Asimbonanga Mandela lyrics]
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph 'ehleli khona
Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the Island into the Bay
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Steven Biko asimbonanga
Asimbonang' umfowethu thina laph' ekhona
Laph' afela khona
Victoria Mxenge asimbonanga
Asimbonang' udadewethu thina laph' ekhona
La' wafela khona neil Aggett
Asimbonanga asimbonang' umfowethu thina
Laph'ekhona la' wafela khona
Hey wena hey wena nawe
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona, la' siyakhona
Hey wena hey wena nawe
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona, la' siyakhona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
Asimbonanga asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph' ekhona laph' ehleli khona
