I hope to eventually put a short wave and/or a MIDI of it up here soon.
Until then, I hope the lyrics touch you as deeply as they have me.
DELA
(I think I know why the dog howls at the moon)
by: Johnny Clegg & Savuka
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 shores
What if I don't find you and I have landed?
Would you leave me here to die, on your shores 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 (something in Zwahili), Dela
(content, content, I am content)
When I'm with you
Dela, Sondela Mama, Sondela
(closer, move closer mama, move closer)
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 a 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 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 why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I say
Dela, Dela (something in Zwahili), Dela
(content, content, I am content)
When I'm with you
Dela, Sondel Mama, Sondela
(closer, move closer mama, move closer)
I burn for you
I've been waiting for you all my life
Hoping for a mirale
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 for you day and night
I burn for you
