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)

Heard this song on a Live aid consert a couple of years ago, I've been remebering the refrain and humming it from time to time. It resently came to mind and I had to look it up. Great and importan music.
me back again please understand , respect our fellow human being no matter what ! Power of speach, Power to all people all people all living humane beings ! It our right to be what we awant to be !
These comments have certainly been an education. Most Americans know very little about S.A. After seeing Invictus most will still not understand much and wonder what all the fuss about Springboks was since we don't know what the hell rugby is! We don't even know you drive on the wrong side of the road! George Charlotte NC USA
Look WIKIICE, don't be dumb.Wat America needs to do is minding their own business.The middle-east is at peace when they are at war.Who are they to change wars that are more than a century old.Zuma is not the right guy in power however let south africans decide their destiny.STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE.
