在南非, 歌曲「Asimbonanga」 (指我們看不見他 ) 可說是 JOHNNY CLEGG 最受歡迎的歌曲。 歌曲收錄在其1987年的專輯內。
In South Africa, “Asimbonanga (Mandela)” (“We Have Not Seen Him”) became one of JOHNNY CLEGG’s most famous songs, appearing on his Third World Child album in 1987
Lyrics:
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
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
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)
Hey wena (Hey you!)
Hey wena nawe (Hey you and you as well)
Siyofika nini la’ siyakhona (When will we arrive at our destination)
