Chorus

Take my heart away (repeat)



To be the sound of wild geese calling

To be ten seasons in a night

To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and peace

To put silence stained by crimes to flight

I need to heart-break-loose-the wind

Dedela umoya wami, Baba

(Set my spirit free, father)



Chorus



To see your eyes shine like two desert stars

To see life burning with a mission

To break the empty circle of living and dying

To leave a child with a vision

I need to heart-break-loose-the wind

Dedela umoya wami, Baba

(Set my spirit free, father)



Chorus



Sing me the songs that won the battle

Sing me the first and the last man's glory

Sing me the songs that taste of freedom

Thread me through with your sacred needle



Liyeza, liyeza, liyeza ilanga lami seliyeza

(It's coming, it's coming, my day is coming)
