Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Paul Simon , Homeless




"Homeless, homeless 
Moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake 
Homeless, homeless 
Moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake 
We are homeless, we are homeless 
The moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake 
And we are homeless, homeless, homeless 
The moonlight sleeping on a midnight lake "


True, text in English and in Zulu are quite different but go

together in a very beautiful way.
A song on the "past" of South Africa, on suffering and victory,
on impermanence of life and and continuing threat, a song
expressing identity and giving a home in this, shared identity to and
with their people in sadness, hope and persisting courage.

Home is inside in "foreseeing" and together.

And foreseeing and courage rise out of loss.

And in this way everybody can "identify".
