Ibhola Lethu - The Mainstay Cup Song - Johnny Clegg/Sipho Mchunu

Written by：Johnny Clegg

One day I looked up and there you were

Like a simple question looking for an answer

Now I am a whale listening to some inner call

Swimming blindly to throw

Myself upon your shores

What if I don't find you when I have landed

Would you leave me here

To die on your shores stranded

Think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say

Dela dela ngiyadela

When I am with you

Dela sondela mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night

I burn for you

A blind bird sings inside

The cage that is my heart

And the image of your face

Comes to me when I'm alone in the dark

If I could give a shape to

This ache that I have for you

If I could find the voice that says

The words that capture you

I think I know I think I know

I think I know I think I know

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

I say

Dela dela ngiyadela

When I am with you

Dela sondela mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night

I burn for you

Sondela sondela mama sondela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my

Life hoping for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for redemption

I've been waiting day and night

I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you

Burn for you I burn for you
