Текст песни: Madiba Bay + перевод

There’s a little bird singing on my window sill,

I pretend I’m asleep, but it’s singing there still.

There’s a new day beginning, the rumors are true,

It’s beginning for me, and beginning for you.

In this house where I’m living things move pretty slow

Some of them come, but most of them go

My days flow like water through the palm of my hand,

My life is no car-chase, just a stroll in the sand

No problem at work, no problem at play

No use getting excited, should I leave, should I stay?

No problem tomorrow, no problem today

No problem at all is the African way, in Madiba Bay

There’s a gravel path leading from city to town

Winter and summer, autumn and spring

Can’t play a damn note, and I don’t know how to sing

Two of us walked down that road in the night,

One of us came back, it seemed pretty right

I am the dark half attaining the light,

You bore the sorrow, I gave up the fight

Koortjie

There’s a little bird singing on my window sill,

I pretend I’m asleep, but it’s singing there still.

There’s a new day beginning, the rumors are true

It’s beginning for me, and beginning for you

Open your window, open your door

You don’t need all this stuffy air anymore

Summer has gone, the pain is all gone

Wake up to the sunlight, wake up to the dawn
