J’Something, Johnny Clegg – “ASIMBONANGA” Lyrics

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang’) U Mandela thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’ehleli khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang’) U Mandela 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’) U Mandela thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’ehleli khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang’) U Mandela 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’) U Mandela thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’ehleli khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang’) U Mandela thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’ehleli khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang) ‘Umfowethu thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’wafela khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang) ‘Udadewethu thina

Laph’ekhona

Laph’wafela khona

Asimbonanga

(Asimbonang) ‘Umfowethu thina

Laph’ekhona

La wafela khona

Aw’ ngithi hey wena (Hey wena)

Hey wena, hey wena nawe

Sofika nini la’ siyakhona, la’siyakhona

Aw’ ngithi hey wena (Hey wena)

Hey wena, hey wena nawe

Sofika nini la’ siyakhona, la’siyakhona
