Asimbonanga (mandela) Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

Chorus: 

Asimbonanga (We have not seen him) 

Asimbonang' uMandela thina (We have not seen Mandela) 

Laph'ekhona (In the place where he is) 

Laph'ehlikhona (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 

Chorus.... 

A seagull wings across the sea 

Broken silence is what I dream 

Who has the words to close the distance 

Between you and me 

Chorus.... 

Steve Biko, Victoria Mxenge 

Neil Aggett 

Asimbonanga 

Asimbonanga '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) 

Sizofika nini la' siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)
