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 gray
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
Broken 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
