Original from
Third World Child (1987)
Chorus : (2x)
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
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)
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
Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
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)
A seagull wings across the sea
Broken silence is what I dream
Who has the words to close the distance
Between you and me
Chorus :
Asimbonanga (We have not seen him)
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)
Steve Biko

Chorus :

Hey wena (Hey you!)
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well)
Siyofika nini la' siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)
Chorus :
Asimbonanga
Asimbonang '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)

Lyrics: Johnny Clegg & Nelson Mandela - Asimbonanga - in Frankfurt
http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=XkU-2OlKRYk
The concert proceeds will benefit Nelson Mandela's HIV/AIDS charity 46664 that he founded in 2002. "I am supposed to be retired but my friends and the charitable organizations that bear my name want to use my 90th birthday year to raise funds to continue our work and so of course I want to help them," said Nelson Mandela.
Mr. Mandela made HIV AIDS the target of his 'new fight' in 2002 and the 46664 campaign was launched with a concert in Cape Town on November 29th 2003 under the direction of Dave Stewart, Annie Lennox and Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor with support from artists such as Bono, The Edge and Beyonce,
46664 takes its name from Mr. Mandela's Robben Island prison number. He was prisoner number 466, incarcerated in 1964.
At the time of Mr. Mandela's release in 1990 South Africa recorded 120,000 people living with HIV. Today the number of South Africans living with HIV AIDS exceeds 5.5. million.
Inspired by the vision and leadership of Nelson Mandela, 46664 is an African response to the global HIV AIDS epidemic that invites the whole world to take the fight in hand.
A campaign vehicle of the Nelson Mandela charitable organisations, 46664 raises funds to support the ongoing 46664 campaign and the HIV AIDS projects it directly supports throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 46664's project funds develop and support practical programmes for the prevention, testing, and care and support for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
46664 recently unveiled its new campaign "It's in our hands," which will build on its past achievements and expand its outreach activities in South Africa to communities and schools to engage the youth who are at most at risk. The not-for-profit organisation harnesses the universal connecting power of music, sport and entertainment to deliver its messages primarily to the younger generations. The campaign is supported by over 80 international ambassadors from the world of sport and entertainment.

One World One Voice 1990
"One World, One Voice was a charity collaboration project conceived by Kevin Godley (of 10cc), released on CD in the UK. Godley recorded the music by going all over the world and have one continuous "chain tape". There is all kinds of different musical styles and they all blend in with each other. The album features Sting, Godley & Creme, Laurie Anderson, The Chieftains, Clannad, Salif Keita, Lou Reed, Joe Strummer, Suzanne Vega, Dave Stewart, Peter Gabriel, and many more. Robbie Robertson performs on one of the tracks.
A live show for the same project was broadcast on BBC in May, 1990, to an audience of over 200,000,000. The concert has been released on a video (One World One Voice, BMG Video 10054, 1993) that documents both the behind-the-scenes production and performance of this global concert."

Tromsø 4664 Artic Concert mit Johnny Clegg LIVE Broadcast
10th June 2005
"For my son and all the children of his generation who will have to deal wilh all that my generalion has bequeathed to the 21st century."
"Für meinen Sohn und alle Kinder seiner Generation, die mit dem Erbe, das meine Generation dem 21. Jahrhundert hinterläßt, fertig werden müssen."
Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Cruel, Crazy And Beautiful World
from Cruel, Crazy Beautiful World 1990
You have to wash with the crocodile in the river
You have to swim with the sharks in the sea
You have to live with the crooked politician
Trust those things that you can never see
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana (jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
You got to trust your lover when you go away
Keep on believing that tomorrow brings a better day
Sometimes you will smile while you're crying inside
And just once you will turn away while the truth is shining bright
Ayeye ayeye Jesse mfana (Jesse boy) ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years lie waiting for you
It kills me to know you won't escape loneliness,
Maybe you lose hope too
Ayeye ayeye jesse mfana ayeye ayeye
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
When I feel your small body close to mine
I feel weak and strong at the same time
So few years to give you wings to fly
Show you the stars to guide your ship by
Chorus :
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
Every time you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky
It's a cruel crazy beautiful world
One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye
Goodbye -- It's your world so live in it!
It's your world so live in it

rereleased
Many of the world's most powerful and instantly recognisable figures and a concert audience of 46,664 will pay their tributes to one of the world's most loved leaders, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and icon of freedom, Nelson 'Madiba' Mandela, as he turns 90 later this year.
Mr. Mandela will arrive in London in June to take part in a series of events to mark his birthday: a very rare occasion since he is now finally "retired from retirement."
Royalty and politicians from both sides of the Atlantic, leading names from business, sport, film and entertainment -- and some of the most successful musicians of the past twenty years -- make up the birthday list for three days of celebrations, culminating in a three-hour evening concert in London's Hyde Park on Friday June 27, The 46664 Concert Honouring Nelson Mandela at 90.
President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Will Smith, Ms. Oprah Winfrey, Robert de Niro and Forest Whitaker are amongst those who will attend some of the events. Lewis Hamilton, British Formula 1 driver for the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team will attend his very first 46664 event.
Artists specially invited to perform for Mr. Mandela at the Friday night 90th birthday concert will include Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, the Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Eddy Grant, and Jamelia, along with international 46664 Ambassadors Italy's Zucchero and Spain's Amaral.
.
Joining them to celebrate the life of the world's most respected statesman will be South African and African artists including Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mabuse, multi-South African Music Awards winner Loyiso, Kurt Darren, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Aids orphan choir The Children of Agape -- the subject of the award winning film feature 'We Are Together', the legendary Papa Wemba and Sudanese 'war child' rapper Emmanuel Jal.
The concert will feature numerous unexpected appearances, with several major artists keeping silent about their involvement in order to take both Mr Mandela and the audience by surprise.

New World Survivor (2003) - no.11
Across The River
I've been watching you now for a long long time
Across the river you've been waiting for the tide
Everything that you ever did is in your eyes
I can see you coming out in the shadow of the moonlight
Like you I've struggled with the question of right life
Like you I've been in the belly of the night
CHORUS
Hold me close it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
Into our Lives
The captain says that it doesn't look so good from here
Hope and mercy are stranded on the pier
Love is the prisoner of the dark and the weird
Only the stars in heart will guide you clear
Like you I've struggled with the question of right life
Like you I've been in the belly of the night
CHORUS
Hold me close it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
I can make it on my own
But it's good to have you by my side.
Hold me close it's dark and cold outside
Only the stars in your heart (yelele mama)
CHORUS
Hold me close it's dark and cold outside
It's raining days and nights into our lives
