Dela

Dela - Johnny Clegg/Savuka

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

But what if I don't find you when I have landed

Would you leave me here to die on your shores stranded

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 ngiya dela

When I am with you

Dela dela mama dela

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 ngiya dela

When I am with you

Dela dela

Mama dela

I burn for you

I've been waiting for you all my life

Waiting for a miracle

I've been waiting day and night

Day and night

I've been waiting for you all my life

Hoping for redemption

I've been waiting day and night

I burn for you

I say

Dela dela Mama dela

When I am with 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

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I burn for you

I say

Dela dela mama dela

I burn for you
