Johnny Clegg - Dela [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse]
One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an answer
Now I am the whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore
What if I don't find you when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded

[Chorus]
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I sing dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
When I'm 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

[Verse]
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
The image of your face comes to me when I am 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

[Chorus]
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I sing dela, dela
Ngyanya
Dela
When I'm 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

[To Fade]
Burn for you, I burn for you
