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".
