Asimbonanga

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga u Mandela thina

Lapha ekhona

Lapha 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 buning water

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga u Mandela thina

Lapha ekhona

Lapha ehleli khona

A seagull wings across the sea

Borken silence is what I dream

Who has the words to close the distance

Between you and me

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga u Mandela thina

Lapha ekhona

Lapha ehleli khona

Steven Biko

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga umfowethu thina

Lapha ekhona

La wa fela khona

Vicoria Mxenge

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga u tate wetha thina

Lapha ekhona

La wa fela khona

Neil Aggett

A si m'bonanga

A si m'bonanga umfowethu thina

Lapha ekhona

La wa fela khona

Hawu ngithi heyiwena

Heyi wena

Heyi wena hawe

Si you fika nini

La siya knona

La siya knona
