Johnny Clegg - Tell Him Again Lyrics

Tell him again he don't care much to hear (Mtsheleni madoda akafuni ukulalela)
Tell him again freedom is in the air (Mtsheleni madoda akafuni ukulalela)

I was talking to him again
But he never understand me
He thinks special and very strange
If I question what he hands me

He can't imagine
I have a feeling for what I can be
Hey brother listen to the river
Whenever you want to remember the sea
Hey brother listen to the feeling
In your heart it also flows through me

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again I need my liberty
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again take these chains off me

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again he is just like me
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again I was born to be free

We gave all been sentenced to this life
Everyone is a deffendent
We are all prisoners of time
We are cashed in to spend it
But we must be free to chose the way
We save the sentence

Hey brother listen to the river
Whenever you want to remember the sea
Hey brother listen to the feeling
In your heart it also flows through me

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again I need my liberty
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again take these chains off me

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again he is just like me
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again I was born to be free

If they comes a time I will take this life
And they will be done for my liberty
All is such a shame such a tragedy
Now it's all I have to make a seen
Holly evergreen all the things I have
They don't mean that much if I can't be free

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again I need my liberty
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again take these chains off me

Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again he is just like me
Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again we were born to be free

Hawu mtsheleni mtshelelni (Oh tell him again)
Hawu mtsheleni mtshelelni (Oh tell him again)
Hawu mtsheleni mtshelelni (Oh tell him again)
Hawu mtsheleni mtshelelni (Oh tell him again)

So long I've been waiting (Oh tell him again)
Oh my heart is breaking (Oh tell him again)
Freedom is forsaken (Oh tell him again)
Till that long we make it

Tell him again freedom is in the air
Tell him again we were born to be free
Tell him again he don't care much to hear
Tell him again I need my liberty
Tell him again freedom is in the air
