Deliwe can you see the clouds rolling in 
The wind in the north has changed and it blows your way 
Whatever will you do when the rain starts to fall 
Will you join the swallows and fly away 
To the citadels of Europe across the sea 
Deliwe would you go away without me? 
Deliwe would you love me, would you leave me? 
Would you leave this land that's green where your home 
straddles the earth 
Leave the winds and the blessing of the bushland? You 
are a child of Africa, you are a wilderness 
You are a jungle juniper, you are a flame lily 
And as you walk in a foreign land, the songs of a road 
gang ring 
Oh how they sing 
And that melody will haunt your days like falling 
autumn leaves Zulu chorus The bees are buzzing in your 
honey mouth 
And I have drawn the water from your well 
The deep rushing down while the night birds call 
And the waters wash me on the inside 
Dreams and leaves of sorrow bequeath to you 
By the deeds of your fathers hidden from your view 
But in the north the thunderclouds would judge you
But you will always be a child of Africa, always 
wilderness
And the sorrow that stirs your heart inside is the dust 
of the regiments
But one day the skies will clear and eagles fly above 
those you left behind
Oh Deliwe won't you stay a while with me Oh bless this 
water bless this land, give us food to eat 
Let our herds span the hills, let them graze in peace 
If soldiers march across our fields, give them eyes to 
see 
The children singing in the sand, songs in the north 
wind 
And we will praise your name 
We will praise your name And one day the skies will 
clear and eagles fly above those you left behind 
Oh Deliwe won't you stay a while with me repeat Zulu 
chorus Fade out with: 
Oh bless this water, bless this land, etc.
