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
Asimbonanga
(Asimbonang') U Mandela thina

Laph'ekhona
Laph'ehleli khona
Asimbonanga
(Asimbonang') U Mandela thina
Laph'ekhona
Laph'ehleli khona
Asimbonanga
(Asimbonang') U Mandela thina
Laph'ekhona
Laph'ehleli khona
