We are marking the attendance register for 2023. It's 2023 and this song still slaps, a shout out to all the fathers who are raising their baby girls, we love and appreciate you🤍
This is one of the few songs in the world that honors and celebrates present black fathers. It also proves that men are capable of being single fathers and raise good kids.
One day we will realize how much we don't appreciate our local artists enough. This song, the vocals and the story is absolutely amazing. Purely a South African story most of us can relate to.
@@abrahamngoma8460 I'll do a bit of the first verse. " Come closer my frienddd... Here's a long tale... Where all the problems started... I was raised by my father.... He was widowed young, lost the love of his life, my mother... Edith... Nomvulaaaa....." ♥️
The emotion in this song, the narration of a young girl , giving the story of her life, she watching the funeral proceedings of her mom, too young to understand what is happening "Zandl' ezincinci zalahl' uthuth' eluthuthweni singasazi nesizathu", am shattered when she highlights the very aspect that her dad never cried during the whole proceeding, my assumption is that he is doing as expected of african man, "real man dont cry", Zang' alile uyise wam mhla kwakufihlwa umzimba wesithandwa seminyaka, im also left to assume twas probably him trying to keep it together for the kids, he couldnt break down, at least not infront of his kids.The death of a mother is such a sad thing, themessage and emotion in this song is something else
its so funny how i never understood the lyrics in this song but i get so emotional listening to this song. can feel the emotion. Music is really a universal language.
I have loved this song the very first time I heard it years ago, even though I didn't understand the lyrics, I could literally feel her pain, it's a beautiful song and thank you for the narration.
First time hearing this song/video was back in 2004 on Morning live, Vuyo Mbuli was doing interview with the group. I was preparing for school but I stayed until the interview was finished. I had a great day at school. The country was doing well (economically) I had many dreams!
In 2011, mom played this song on her phone. I didn't really understand what it was about but she explained it to me word for word. I fell in love with the song since then. I think about her everytime it plays and I get so emotional ever since she passed last year. I dedicate this beautiful song to you, Nombulelo. Mama ndiyabulela. ❤️
Mama Zolani Mahola deserves a fully blown recognition, I doubt there's anyone with vocals of this lady. Her songs gets me deep and emotional. xoxo mama.

Sondela, mhlobo wam Nali ibali elide; apho kwaqala khona inkathazo -zozo (Come closer my friend Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started I was raised by my father Who was bereaved at a young age by his true darling, my mother Edith Nomvula Thomas Mahola There were three of us by my mother, myself the second The middle child of my father, Bhut' Doc Nceba Mahola Never did my father cry, when they hid the body of the love of many years At Don Bosco; Kwazakhele four rooms (with a dining room table) in Port Elizabeth Neither did the three cry at the side of the grave, Small hands throwing dust to dust not knowing the reason: Oh my goodness!

Come closer my friend Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started)
It's an absolute crime that freshly ground is more well known around the world. I'm a music freak and freshly ground has something so special about them
This song reminds me of my daughter,who deserted her home after getting a job,whom I have cared for since she was 1 year old.but I am glad I have been there for her.
Who has tuned in, in 2023... This is an amazing track...Once it starts playing in your head you just have to look for it or it wont stop ringing in your head
I relate to this song as we were raised by my father as five kids ndiyabulela Ncibane,Nojaholo,Mhlantla ndiyilento ndiyiyo ngenxa yakho ulale ngoxolo uyakhumbuleka ngengqeqesho yakho
Words can never describe how much I love Song😭😭😭 13years later it still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it❤ it has mos def passed the "Test of Time"!
Missing my dad who passed away a few weeks ago . Dont know how i landed here perhaps his spirit led me here and after reading the translation i know its him
But guyz cum'on ...this is sooooo great ..hayini azange sayibona intomb'enje yakhuliswa yindoda ... Was raised by my dad only ..and I bet you he did a great job ❤❤😘❤ Zolani...talent talent talent
Its funny in an african context man are expected to be strong at funeral, they arent even cry when their wives die, man are supposed to be strong, am shattered when she says "zang' alile uyise wa mhla kwakufihlwa umzimba wesithandwa sakhe seminyaka"
My mom was raised in her father's family so she did not have father or mother she always played this song when I was young.. won't lie it is so great to hear this song again ❤🎉
I happened to think about this song few days back, since then i have been playing it, and guess what i’am dancing…wow what a song it goes deep into the heart 😊
"Zandl' ezincinci zalahl' uthuth' eluthuthwini singasazi nesizathu..." Yhooo 😭💔 That rended my heart cause I never knew that's what she says there. Yerr.
2024 , still therapeutic as ever. First time I heard it was at a wedding 14 yrs ago ,being played from a Mercedes Benz and the car sound system projected it so beautifully. What a Masterpiece,!❤❤❤❤

and we really don't appreciate them we too consumed by western music. this song touches me in a way i can't describe
I always come back here
Help with the meaning of the song
@@abrahamngoma8460 I'll do a bit of the first verse.
" Come closer my frienddd... Here's a long tale... Where all the problems started...
I was raised by my father.... He was widowed young, lost the love of his life, my mother... Edith... Nomvulaaaa....."
♥️
True so true ❤
still listening in 2019, just felt like hearing her voice
The emotion in this song, the narration of a young girl , giving the story of her life, she watching the funeral proceedings of her mom, too young to understand what is happening "Zandl' ezincinci zalahl' uthuth' eluthuthweni singasazi nesizathu", am shattered when she highlights the very aspect that her dad never cried during the whole proceeding, my assumption is that he is doing as expected of african man, "real man dont cry", Zang' alile uyise wam mhla kwakufihlwa umzimba wesithandwa seminyaka, im also left to assume twas probably him trying to keep it together for the kids, he couldnt break down, at least not infront of his kids.The death of a mother is such a sad thing, themessage and emotion in this song is something else

South African soul takes me back to my early childhood growing up at kasi. 2023 we still here.❤
It's 2021 and this song still hits hard. Lyrics like these are the reason why I became a Lyricist myself.
Nkabinde this is wonderful music

Lyrics:
Sondela, mhlobo wam Nali ibali elide;
apho kwaqala khona inkathazo -zozo Ndakhuliswa nguyise wam,
owaswelekelwa esemtsha NguDarly wakhe, umama wam uEdith Nomvula Thomas Mahola Sasibathathu kumama wam, ndingowesbini ke mna;
umafungwashe katata Ubhut' Doc Nceba Mahola Zang' alile uyise wam mhla kwakufihlwa umzimba wesithandwa seminyaka EDon Bosco Kwazakhele, 4 rooms, with a dining-room table eBhayi
Zange balile nabathathu ecamb' kwengcwaba lakhe
Zandl' ezincinci zalahl' uthuth' eluthuthweni singasazi nesizathu
Tyhini na bethuna usishiyil' uSis' Nono! Usishiyil' uSis' Nono! Hayini!
Azange sayibona intombi enje yakhuliswa yindoda
Dlamini! Abazange bayibona intombi enje yakhuliswa yindoda.
Sondela, mhlobo wam Nali ibali elide;
apho kwaqala khona inkathazo -zozo
(Come closer my friend Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started
I was raised by my father Who was bereaved at a young age by his true darling,
my mother Edith Nomvula Thomas Mahola There were three of us by my mother, myself the second
The middle child of my father, Bhut' Doc Nceba Mahola
Never did my father cry, when they hid the body of the love of many years At Don Bosco;
Kwazakhele four rooms (with a dining room table) in Port Elizabeth
Neither did the three cry at the side of the grave,
Small hands throwing dust to dust not knowing the reason:
Oh my goodness! Sis' nono has left us! Sis' nono has left us!
Hayini! Never have we seen such a girl raised by a man.
Dlamini! Never have they seen such a girl raised by a man.
Come closer my friend Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started)
Thank you so much.
