Asimbonanga
We have not seen him
Asimbonang' uMandela thina
We have not seen Mandela
Laph'ekhona
In the place where he is
Laph'ehlikhona
In the place where he is kept
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 burning water
A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Steve Biko Victoria Mxenge
Neil Aggett
Asimbonanga
Asimbonanga 'umfowethu thina
We have not seen our brother
Laph'ekhona
In the place where he is
Laph'wafela khona
In the place where he died
Hey wena
Hey you
Hey wena nawe
Hey you and you as well
Sizofika nini la' siyakhona
When will we arrive at our destination
