@@thembelanizuma685 this song touches me deep still. It reminds me how my mama strived to put bread on the table being a single parent. Mother's are the best people God created
I just remember the first time I saw her live this song was rocking 1989.I’m so home 🏠sick as I ‘m watching this with emotions in lockdown in the UK 🇬🇧 26/04/2020.Forever Cherish all the good memories Sisi Mabriiii,Rest in Power Queen 👑 of Africa 🇿🇦🇦🇴🇧🇼🇨🇲🇬🇭🇩🇪🇬🇼🇬🇳🇰🇪🇳🇬🇸🇳🇸🇿🇺🇬🇿🇼🇾🇪🇹🇲🇸🇹
Im sitting in Hong Kong Airport listening to this and have to control myself. Brenda was is the greatest female Azania ever produced. Her music, voice and do not care attitude inspires me. From her I learned dont give a fuck about what people think. Be yourself and dont suck up to people. May she ever be remembered. My fav.
I actually met her in a men's bathroom at WhosWho in Fourway 2003. All the guys in the bathroom were starring at her. And she just said 'What, do what you here to do'. lol. Mabrrrrrr for life.
Oh she was incomproble..what an icon. I am an Afrikaans speaking European South-African residing in New Zealand, and I certainly know what an influence she had and still has on society and music. She was way ahead of her peers, and way ahead of her time, even in the South African context. I am proud to say that I am an endearing fan of Ms. Brenda Fassie. Brenda, you have special place in Heaven, and we all miss you dearly. R.I.P great lady! 👼👼🌹🌹
I remember as a little boy how this song would put me to tears each time I heard it, I would just grab my mother and just hold her. R.I.P Brenda Fassie....
Even in the world beyond this very world..I will always miss you and the vacuum you left in the heart of those who love you will be irreplaceable...the voice of true legend will never die ...I love you always mama brenda the African princess of my time ..
Can we talk about the actors in this video and how talented they are? Even though they were all in their assigned spots where they stayed there and did not move from their marks, they still managed to deliver the emotions needed for one to 'feel' the tragedy.
Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush Started raining on the way to fetch some water Poor woman had a baby on her back Was struck by lightning on her way To fetch some water She tried hiding under a tree to save her child Poor woman had no place to go Lightning caught her with her baby on her back Friends, relatives ran for her [Chorus] It was too late It was too late Too late for mama Oh no [Verse 2] Husband came running to the scene yeah Poor man held his dead wife in his arms Eyes full of tears, not believing the nightmare Knelt down and prayed for this, was a painful loss [Chorus] It was too late Too late for mama Oh mama mama, oh poor mama It was too late Too late [Verse 3] She tried hiding under the tree to save her child Poor woman had no place to hide Lightning caught her with her baby on her back Friends, relatives ran for her But it was too late, too late for mama [Chorus] Too late Too late for mama Oh mama mama Oh poor mama It was too late Too late Too late for mama... oh mama Mama with the little baby She's gone She's gone She's gone Oh poor mama It was too late
I'm a full-grown man, but this song (as her many of her songs) gets me so emotional. So much love for Brenda Fassie. May she continue to RIP. A huge fan from Nigeria.
Brenda Fassie was and will forever be a legend. Her music will remain relevant through and through, but did anyone notice the dress, hairstyle and make-up? so aligned to modern trends, you rock Mabrrrrrrrrr!

phumelele makhoba raw talent
Ten kilometers barefooted in the bush
Started raining on the way to fetch some water
Poor woman had a baby on her back
Was struck by lightning on her way
To fetch some water
She tried hiding under a tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to go
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her
[Chorus]
It was too late
It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh no
[Verse 2]
Husband came running to the scene yeah
Poor man held his dead wife in his arms
Eyes full of tears, not believing the nightmare
Knelt down and prayed for this, was a painful loss
[Chorus]
It was too late
Too late for mama
Oh mama mama, oh poor mama
It was too late
Too late
[Verse 3]
She tried hiding under the tree to save her child
Poor woman had no place to hide
Lightning caught her with her baby on her back
Friends, relatives ran for her
But it was too late, too late for mama
[Chorus]
Too late
Too late for mama
Oh mama mama
Oh poor mama
It was too late
Too late
Too late for mama... oh mama
Mama with the little baby
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
Oh poor mama
It was too late
Thank you for the lyrics....
so emotional!
Thanks
Knelt down and prayed if this was as a dream or not.
So touching and emotional 😢
Brenda forever a legend, great song🙏
