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 kwethi

The Gods have blessed me 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 Mvelinqange 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 (Won't you take me away)
Take me away (Won't you take me away)
Transkei moon

Transkei moon (Will you take me away)
Transkei moon (Won't you take me away)
Take me away
Transkei moon (Won't you take me with you)

Take me with you
