Joan Baez - 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
