Lotti Helmut Asimbonanga Lyrics

Asimbonanga Lyrics

Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina 

 laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona 

 (We have not seen him. We have not seen Mandela where he is 

 in the place where he sits) 

  

 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 bonangum Mandela thina 

 Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona 

  

 A seagull wings across the sea 

 Broken silence is what i dream 

 Who has the words to close the dis tance 

 Between you and me 

  

 Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina 

 Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona 

 Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina 

 Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona
