Lyrics of Asimbonanga (Mandela) by Johnny Clegg

Asimbonanga
Asimbonang′ uMandela thina
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
Steve Biko
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang ′umfowethu thina
Laph'ekhona
Laph′wafela khona
Victoria Mxenge

Laph'wafela khona
Neil Aggett
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina

Hau ngithi hey wena (Hey wena)
Hey wena, hey wena nawe
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona, la′ siyakhona
