When I was a kid, I remember really enjoying the film George of the Jungle.

I remember thinking that George (Brendan Fraser) was SUCH a cutie! 😍

I recently rewatched the film. It’s funny how you get certain jokes as an adult that totally went over your head when you were a kid! 🤣

The film was even funnier than I remembered! 😁

The film is absolutely ADORABLE! One especially adorable part of the film is the “Dela” scene.

Until I rewatched the film, I completely forgot about the beautiful “Dela” song. I don’t remember ever hearing it outside of the movie.

Here’s the full version of the song by Johnny Clegg.

Lyrics:

One day I looked up and there you were
Like a simple question looking for an
answer
Now I am a whale listening to some inner call
Swimming blindly to
throw myself upon your shore
What if I don’t find you when I have landed
Would you leave me here to die
On your shore stranded
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
Dela when I’m with you
Dela sondela
mama
Sondela I burn for you

I’ve been waiting for you all my
life
Hoping for a miracle
I’ve been day and night
Day and
night
I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Waiting for
redemption
I’ve been waiting day and night
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’m alone in the dark
If I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
If I could find the voice that says the words that
capture you

I think I know
I think I know
I think I know
I think I know

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
Dela when I’m with
you
Dela Sondela mama
Sondela I burn for you

I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Hoping for a miracle
I’ve been waiting
day and night
Day and night
I’ve been waiting for you all my
life
Waiting for redemption
I’ve been waiting day and night
I burn
for you

Sondela
Sondela mama
Sondela I burn for you

I’ve been waiting for you all my life
Hoping for a
miracle
I’v been waiting day and night
Day and night
I’ve been
waiting for all you my life
Waiting for redemption
I’ve been waiting
day and night
I burn for you

Burn for you
I burn for you
Burn for you
I burn for you
Burn for you
I burn for you
Burn for you
I burn for you

Isn’t it just lovely? 💛

I hope this week’s song put a smile on your face!

Wishing you well! 💙
