Asimbonanga Mandela...!

  

Asimbonanga (Mandela) - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him) 
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela) 
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is) 
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept) 

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 (We have not seen him) 
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela) 
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is) 
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)
  
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 (We have not seen him) 
Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela) 
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is) 
Laph'ehleli khona (In the place where he is kept)
  
A seagull wings across the sea 
Broken silence is what I dream 
Who has the words to close the distance 
Between you and me
  
 Steve Biko, Victoria Mxenge 
Neil Aggett 
Asimbonanga Asimbonang 'umfowethu thina (We have not seen our brother) 
Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is) 
Laph'wafela khona (In the place where he died) 
Hey wena (Hey you!) 
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well) 
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)
