johnny clegg savuka - dela (i know why the dog howls at the moon) lyrics
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 sh-r-s
but what if i don’t find you when i have landed
would you leave me here to die on your sh-r-s 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! ngiyadela!
(content, content i am content)
when i am with you!
dela! sondela mama sondela!
(closer, closer, come closer mama)
i burn for you!
chorus:
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
the image of your face comes to me when i’m a-lone 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! ngiyadela!
(content, content i am content)
when i am with you!
dela! sondela mama sondela!
(closer, closer, come closer mama)
i burn for you!
chorus
sondela! sondela mama sondela!
i burn for you
chorus
