4.Dela(I Know Why The Dog Howls At The Moon)
One day i looked up and there you stood
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
But what if i don't find when 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! ngiyadela!
(content, content i am content)
When i am with you!
Dela! sondela mama!
(closer, closer, come closer mama)
I burn for you!
Chorus:
I've been waiting for you all my life -- waiting for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night -- waiting for redemption
I burn for you
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart
And 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, i think i know
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!
(closer, closer, come closer mama)
I burn for you!
Chorus
