Johnny Clegg - DELA Original lyrics: http://www.johnnyclegg.com/lyrics/ccbw.html#4 [Intro]   x4 [Verse]   One day I looked up and there you were   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 you when 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 [Pre-Chorus] I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la!  When I’m with you! De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la  I burn for you! [Chorus]   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   hoping for a miracle I’ve been waiting day and night day and night   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   waiting for redemption I’ve been waiting day and night   I burn for you [Instrumental]   x2 [Verse] A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart 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 *| x2 |* I think I know why the dog howls at the moon   *| x2 [Pre-Chorus] I say: De--la! De--la! Ngiyade--la!  When I’m with you! De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la  I burn for you! [Chorus]   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   hoping for a miracle I’ve been waiting day and night day and night   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   waiting for redemption I’ve been waiting day and night   I burn for you [Instrumental]   x4 [Pre-Chorus] De--la! Sonde--la mama! sonde--la  I burn for you! [Chorus]   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   hoping for a miracle I’ve been waiting day and night day and night   I’ve been waiting for you all my life   waiting for redemption I’ve been waiting day and night   I burn for you

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'attente désespérée d'un amour idéal, une quête pour retrouver une âme sœur qui semble inaccessible. À travers des métaphores puissantes, l'artiste exprime une profonde passion et un besoin de rédemption, illustrant une lutte intérieure entre l'espoir et l'incertitude. Le chanteur se compare à un animal perdu, cherchant désespérément une connexion qui lui donne un sens. Il ressent une douleur profonde liée à son amour, comme un chant d'oiseau en cage, symbolisant le désir de liberté et d'union. La répétition d'affirmations montre une certaine ferveur, une détermination à ne pas abandonner malgré les obstacles. Ces paroles parlent donc de l'amour inconditionnel et du chemin tortueux que l'on parcourt pour le trouver.
