16 years without parents. I finished varsity without them married now. Its too emotional this song for me but thank you my dearest Mom i dont know my daď but thank you for bringing me in this earth.🙏
For those who don’t understand the lyrics, it’s not really a sad song…it may seem like it is when reading other people’s comments because it ignites a lot of emotion, especially in people who’ve lost loved ones. Its actually a celebratory song, thanking our ancestors for being with us and for everything they do for us.🕊🕯📿
African American guy here...I feel this heavy shout out to my brothers and sisters around the world much love we got this... they can’t stop us 💪🏾🌹🌹🌹💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
this isn't actually a song but a thank you to our ancestors, that's all it says my brother and wherever you are just know you not lost.. use this song to meditate and it shall ground and balance your energies my brother
It's 2021. And I'm in my dream country🇺🇸 studying the course of my choice. Ndiyabulela dlozi lami elihle. Gogo MaVezi uqhubeke ukhanyise indlela zami. She was part of the applying and interviews. We miss you so much ngilosi yami enhle. Uqhubeke usibheke ekhaya. It's been 1 year without her😥. Wish you were here to see me succeeding. But I believe you are watching . 🇺🇸🇿🇦
For all OUR beloved Ancestors who died in the hands of the Oppressors . I'm actually writing this with tears in my eyes as a Black African Child from Mzansi . God bless Africa and bless Mzansians to keep on healing the WORLD.
You should listen to it more often and heal as much you can... I don't know you but keep well and I wish you well in life. I love you.. Enjoy the rest of your day
That moment when u phahling and calling on your ancestors and this natural effortless smile emerges on your face as you recite your clan names👏👏👏🤗 eish ..The beauty of beauty an African
This song reminds me of the year 2019 where I lost my lovely grandma who used to treat me like own son and that's the same my Lil son was and that made me so emotional because my was born right after my grandma's funeral,I wanted my grandma to see her great grandson but I never blamed anyone because the following year which was 2020 I got an offer at the University institution doing my chemistry,I believe my grandma is watching me and she's going to continue be with me spiritually😭♥ NDYABULELA DLOZI LAM
Today is my birthday and this is definitely my song of the day. When I finally sign that employment contract I'll blast this. First car? This song!!! Foundation for my house, this song!!! Beautiful man❤❤❣
An amazing song, and I've been listening it repeatedly since my father's death. And I sing it saying: I will always miss you, daddy. And will always be thankful for everything you did to me and how you raised me. A yellow heart for you favorite colour 💛
One day when everything that I wish and dream of comes to be. I will return to play this song and give thanks to God and my ancestors because I am because they are 🕯🙏
Just found out - idlozi refers to a healing spirit in zulu/ isixhosa and lami is the possessive 'my'. Sounds like she is also saying sivulele which means 'open to us'. It's a welcome song to welcome ancestors. No wonder its so sad. South african music just has this sad feeling to it sometimes which u just love it!
this song is literally a soul healer😭❤️ yabulela dlozi lami it feel like we are literally talking to our ancestors 🥺 i havent lost any parent yet but i am so greatful that they are alive ...and to those who have ..may their souls continue resting in eternal peace🤍
It’s not really a sad song…it seems sad because it ignites a lot of emotion, especially in people who’ve lost loved ones. Its actually a celebratory song, thanking our ancestors for being with us and for everything they do for us.🕊🕯📿
This song makes me recall the moment my great grandmother died, I felt it in my bones that she was leaving me I was only seven years old, I felt her spirit leaving but however it was hopeful stiill, even though her spirit left her body but I know she's still with me, a spirit told me it was gonna be okay, I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm 20 today and life has just been okay I'm greatful❤️
😭😭Its been days now I just lost my brother and I'm still healing but when I listen to this song it feels like he's already my ancestor May your soul rest in peace
Relocated to China last year but I still keep in touch with my motherland. This is one of the tracks that touches the heart when you listen with headphones.❤❤ Thanks to dlozi lam for looking out for me in a foreign country. ❤
Whenever I play this song, I feel closer to home. It turns things around for me❤️👏🏼. Ndiyabulela kini boNdabezitha naboMtungwa naGogo owangikhulisa uKaMagagula. Ngyazi ukubhelile la ukhona ntombi❤️.
im turning 23 years this month, and ngyabulela dlozi lami, when i heard the story of my life, i feel very grateful kungayisuwe dlozi lami i could have departed, im doing industrial internship at a company that recognises my effort, i got a gf who understands me, my family reunited and the energy is just healthy, ngyabulela Dlozi lami
This song gets me emotional all the time, I think of how it would be if my mom was still alive also acknowledging her being with me spiritually and protecting me. Discovering my spiritual gift this song makes me accept everything that has to do with my ancestors aboGoje aboMdlanyoka boPhangela Khulu.
This song reminds me of my mom who passed away in 2007. It has been a rough journey it certainly has been one but I appreciate being alive. Ndibulela okwobomi bam enye nenye into izamva. We have angels that protect us and guide us. May their spirits continue to be praised by the living khuzolunga kzoba ngathi sithwele kanti sekuvume Inkosi ne Dlozi👏👏👏👏👏👏. Syabulela.
It’s 01:00 and I’m out here listening to this song... Makes me want to light up some candles + burn mpepo (phatlha) for my ancestors to thank them, which is something I haven’t done for years.
While I am still alive I would like to thanks to the owner,God,and the landlords(oNtsundu and Bakoena).I have been tested and failed on numerous occasions,but with y'alls guidance I hope I will fulfill my purpose kulo mhlaba❤
2022-05-23 (19:38) and I'm still here listening to the song that always makes me dance like it's my last day on earth! This will remain one of my best. They can try to copy amapiano anywhere in the world but no one will ever do it like SA,this kind of sound is derived from the 90's kwaito and will remain authentically South African🥰🥰🥰🥰🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
It's been 3 good years without seeing my parents and family I miss them so much I just 1 day I can finally see them this song just makes me wanna cry❤❤🙏
This song reminds me the 31st of December 2020. That's when I fell in love with it, every time I listen to it I get goosebumps and flashback🥺 i love it so much it's still my favorite 😩🔥❤️
If only I can get a day my ancestors, this song will be the song of the day . I'll forever be greatful for the gift of life even though things are not going as planned but I'm certain that one day it'll be ohk.
43 years without my papa passed away when I was 2 sometimes things get so hard in life I find myself crying for my daddy but I know his spirit is watching over me

It's a welcome song to welcome ancestors. No wonder its so sad. South african music just has this sad feeling to it sometimes which u just love it!
This is IsiXhosa language.
its a xhosa which says '"ngiyabulela dlozi lam" which means -thank you,my ancestors
@@nelsonlesetjamabitsela43 oh im guessing xhosa and zulu sound the same similar meanings in both languages. Thanks
I thought i heard sivulele what does sivulele mean in xhosa?
@@thebaddest3452 sivulele means open for us
this song is literally a soul healer😭❤️ yabulela dlozi lami it feel like we are literally talking to our ancestors 🥺 i havent lost any parent yet but i am so greatful that they are alive ...and to those who have ..may their souls continue resting in eternal peace🤍

This song is healing my soul since I am full of stress of online learning. I hear the spirit of success over my broken soul. heat up OPEN MIC ...
Ok, I don't understand the language but the comments say it's sad 😢 South African songs never disappoint ❤
