La noche que anda de negro
Cargada de soledad
Que se levante Mandela
Mandela, mande ya
La noche que anda escondida
Y sigue siempre esperando
Debe ser el mediodía
O la mañana cantando
Mande Mandela , Mandela ya
Que la noche se levante
Y no se vuelva a acostar(bis)
La noche puede ser blanca
O puede tener colores
Que se levante Mandela
Con su odio y sus amores
La noche que está dormida
Rodeada por las estrellas
Que se levante Mandela
Que se levante con ellas
Mande Mandela , Mandela ya
Que la noche se levante
Y no se vuelva a acostar(bis)
Mande Mandela , Mandela ya
Que la noche se levante
Y no se vuelva a acostar(bis)
Hey, hey ya
Hey, hey Mandela ya (bis)
Mayibuye Mandela mande ya
Mayibuye Mandela mande ya
Mayibuye Mandela mande ya
Mayibuye Mandela mande ya
Hey Mandela ya
Mandela ya
Mayibuye Mandela mayibuye
Mayibuye Mandela, Mandela ya(bis)
