| 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…
|
| 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
|
| 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) |
