Dela Lyrics - Singles - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

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? 

Will you leave me here to die on your shore stranded? 

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 wating day and night, I burn for you. 

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 to capture you. 

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 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 wating 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
