Asimbonanga

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
