Asimbonanga (we have not seen him)
(Johnny Clegg & Savuka)

Asimbonang' uMandela thina (we have not seen Mandela)
Laph'ekhona (in the place where he is)
Laph'ehleli khona (in the place where he is kept)

Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga

Oh the sea is cold and the sky is grey
Look across the island into the bay – asimbonanga
We are all islands till comes the day
We cross the burning water, we cross the burning water

Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga
Asimbonanga – asimbonanga

A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream – asimbonanga
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me, between you and me

Asimbonanga
Asimbonanga
Asimbonanga

Asimbonang' uMandela thina
Laph'ekhona
Laph'ehleli khona
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
