Asimbonanga
===========
by J. Clegg, sung by Joan Baez on her CD "Recently"

---

Chorus: 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
Chorus
A seagull wings across the sea
Borken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Chorus
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
Translation
Chorus: We haven't seen
We haven't seen Mandela
Where he is
Where he is sitting (confined)
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
Chorus
A seagull wings across the sea
Borken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Chorus
Steven Biko
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our brother
Where he is
Where he died
Victoria Mxenge
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our sister
Where she is
Where she died
Neil Aggett
We haven't seen
We haven't seen our brother
Where he is
Where he died
I say to you
Hey you
Hey you and you
Where are we going to reach our goal/destiny
Where are we going
Where are we going
(When will we attain our freedom...)

Zelf heb ik 20 jaar in centraal Afrika geweest en spreek verschillende talen
uit die regio
Tsiluba, Lingala en Kikongo, (helaas geen Swahili) maar dit lied gaat over
Mandela (dus Zuid Afrika)
Weet je ook per toeval in welke taal het originele lied gezongen wordt (zal
we lastig zijn)
wel erg bedankt
William

> Ik dacht dat het Zulu was,

Het origineel van Johnny Clegg & Savuka was (ook) Engels & Zulu.
