[Refrain :]
  Asimbonanga
Asimbo  nang'um M  andela t  hina
Laph'ekon  a
Laph  'ehleli kho  na
 
 
  On the sea is   cold and the sky is   grey
  Look across the   island into the   bay
We are all isl  ands till comes the d  ay
We cross the burning wat  er            
 
 
[Refrain]
 
 
  A seagull   wings across the   sea
  Broken   silence is what I dr  eam
Who has the w  ords to close the dista  nce
Between you and   me            
 
 
As  imbonanga
Asim  bonang'umfo  wethu t  hina
Laph'ekhon  a
La wafela kho  na
 
 
  HEY wena
 
 
  hey wena   nawe
 
 
Sizofik a   nini la'Siyakhon  a
