I don't know exactly how to translate that but basically he's talking about their former president (Bingu wa Mutharika who died just before the release of that song). This president was called "Moses" at the beginning of its political life, because he was meant to be the "savior" of Malawi. But at the end of its life, the situation in the country was even worse, so the singer ask who will be the next (and real) savior of Malawi...
Aw mane dis my third time listening to dis song don't even no why I'm feeling it. GOD bless all of Africa. Out of ashes you can not put out the flame of our spirits. Stay strong my Black brothers GOD we will raise us up.
OMG!!!!THAT WAS ONE OF THE DOPEST VIDEOS I EVER SAW!!!!WOW I LOVE SHOTS OF PLACES I`VE NEVER BEEN AND AFRICA IS ONE OF THEM.THIS VIDEO BRINGS YOU INTO THE VILLAGE.HE`S SO COOL SO DOPE.GREAT AFRICAN GRIOT VOICE.
yo good for this guy that was a cool idea and you can tell hes proud of where hes from i hope he gets a bit of recognition from this if he made just abit of money it would probly uplift his whole comminitys econimy
I really dig this video. The beauty of not understanding the lyrics allows you to use your imagination. Kind of like reading the book instead of watching the movie.
I have no idea what he is saying but the beat and the passion in his voice, plus the video really all come together to make a great song. Whoever directed this did an amazing job with the resources available. Jay Z and Kanye spend so much money on music videos but theirs suck ass compared to "The Very Best"
the best video clip creativity , show style of life in many country in the world I do not understand why there is poverty and inequality in the world myself I live in Brazil and I see here in my town there are so many luxury constructions, imported cars and lots of money circulating and across the city, there are so many miserable people living in poverty because governments do not provide work and descendants housing to these families because they are children of God and as we do not deserve to live that way.
logically compared generalities. It is impossible to compare individual when it comes to something general. I think you'll understand. although you do not like, the comparison is correct. and if you do not see it because you live immersed in the system that makes you believe that you live in the country of freedom.
Well, how dope this sweet song is describes the fact I still can hear it in my thoughts years after release.

Good song.
nothing i guess, but he is singing in the language "chichewa" wich is one of the languages in Malawi where Esau (the artist) is from...
