Dela-The Beautiful girls


A beautiful song originally done by Johnny Clegg that makes me smile. DELA means "possess long enough/satisfy/stretch long" in Zulu (a major indigenous South African tribe).

One day I looked up and there you were Like a simple question looking for an answer Now I am aware Listening to some inner call And swimming blindly to find myself upon your shore

What if don't find you and I have landed Would you leave me here to die on your shore stranded?

I think I know why the dog howls at the moon x2

Chorus: Dela dela. When I'm with you Dela. I'll burn for you

I've been waiting all my life Waiting for a miracle I've been waiting day and night I've been waiting all my life Hoping for redemption I've been waiting day and night, day and night

Chorus

A flying bird sings inside this cage that is my heart The image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark What if I could give a shape onto this ache I have for you What if I could find my voice to speak the words that capture you? I think I know?. I think I know why the dog howls at the moon

Chorus
