Transkei Moon

Transkei Moon

Hangs over me

Like a lump in my throat

Her voice, their singing

It chokes my spirit

And lets it loose again

Umzi wakhe, u se maweni

Amafu a lele phezu kwethu

The Gods have blessed us tonight

I spent the night in the sky

With old ladies whose limbs and voices never tire

Even as I sit here, I can't imagine

What moment in time led me to this one

Transkei Moon

Transkei Moon

Take me away

Transkei Moon

Ndi hamba nawe

Ndi vumelana nawe

And I never will forget your ways

You inspired me

To find God in motion

In a place that seems so still

Umzi wakhe

Use maweni

Amafu alele phezu kwethu

I saw the face of Mveliqange here

A place of mysteries and dreams

And when I close my eyes I live again and again

And again and again and again

Transkei Moon

Transkei Moon

Take me away

Transkei Moon
