Lyrics

[00:02.05] Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina
[00:10.59] laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona
[00:16.47] (We have not seen him.
[00:18.10] We have not seen Mandela where he is
[00:20.22] in the place where he sits)
[00:33.09] Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
[00:42.26] Look across the island into the bay
[00:50.87] We are all islands till comes the day
[00:56.18] We cross the burning water
[01:03.42] Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina
[01:11.78] Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona
[01:17.58]
[01:35.00] A seagull wings across the sea
[01:43.55] Broken silence is what i dream
[01:52.47] Who has the words to close the dis tance
[01:57.65] Between you and me
[02:05.03] Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina
[02:12.70] Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona
[02:19.21] Asimbonanga bonangum Mandela thina
[02:27.54] Laph' ekhona laph' echleli khona
