The Crossing (osiyeza) - Johnny Clegg / Savuka

Through all the days that eat away

At every breath that I take

Through all the nights I've lain alone

In someone else's dream awake

All the words in truth we have spoken

That the wind has blown away

It's only you that remains with me

Clear as the light of day

O Siyeza o siyeza sizofika webaba noma

O siyeza o siyeza siyagudle lomhlaba

Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama

Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka

A punch drunk man in a downtown bar

Takes a beating without making a sound

Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles

'Cause noone can put him down

Inside of him a boy looks up to his father

For a sign or an approving eye

Oh it's funny how those once so close and now gone

Can still so affect our lives

O Siyeza o siyeza sizofika webaba noma

O siyeza o siyeza siyagudle lomhlaba

Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama

Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka

Take me now don't let go

Hold me close I'm coming home

O Siyeza o siyeza sizofika webaba noma

O siyeza o siyeza siyagudle lomhlaba

Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama

Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka

O Siyeza o siyeza sizofika webaba noma

O siyeza o siyeza siyagudle lomhlaba

Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama

Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka

O Siyeza o siyeza sizofika webaba noma

O siyeza o siyeza siyagudle lomhlaba
