One day I looked up and there you were,
like a simple question looking for an answer.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.
A blind bird sings inside the cage that is my heart,
the image of your face comes to me when I am alone in the dark.
I think I know, I think I know, I think I know,
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon.
I sing dela, dela ngyanya dela when I'm with you,
dela, sondela mama sondela, I burn for you.
Burn for you, I burn for you...
