[karoalphashots]

wonderfull

[liartemis]

Não precisa de muito para sabermos que o ser humano esta pensando na filosofia de cada um por sí. Melhor trilha do filme, me inspira , me acalma e o mais importante me faz sonhar!

[tebedicen]

[martateranzago1]

es un mantra que me inspira tranquilidad, paz sociego...

[Jambaxzi]

Thum ber ndi. Apuoyoo. Muziki mtamu kweli. Raha ilioje.

This song reminds me of my late grandfather at the village..asking us to bring in the livestock (jamni) when its about to rain.

[aniquirona1]

Sublime. Conexión con las estrellas.

[benytuxoax]

@aniquirona1 definitivamente cada quien expresa lo que le inspira esta bella melodia...en lo referente ami, me llena de una melencolia total, lagrimas internas ocacionadas por la situación en la que viven nuestros hermanos africanos...independiente de la tematica de la pelicula....en un mundo tan rapido en el que vivimos, el hacer un stop para meditar y pensar en otros que no estan en mejor situación..esta melodia es perfecta¡¡¡¡

[halddry]

Wow amazing, awsome song.. i really cried hearing it! beautiful melody.. it tooked my heart!

[aniluliz999]

me encanta esta canción y la pelicula en la que la vi aún me gusta más... el jardinero fiel, de las mejores películas que e visto.. es un ya vasta a todas las empresas farmacéuticas que estan matando a la población, enfermando , desafortunadamente nadie hace nada y no solo la industria farmacéutica nos está dañando sino también la alimentaria nos enstan volviendo una sociedad enferma, agonizante y en crisis

[gastongaful]

gracias hadita!!!! si antes me inspiraba ahora me llena el alma!! abrazo grande!

[hada5445]

Entre la oscuridad del cosmos ...me siento parte de el y no tengo miedo de esa soledad ,la vida es un instante y solo somos un instante ,para que temer,todo esta bien la vida no es nuestra es de todos y así es que la unión ase la fuerza y el amor es la única y verdadera arma<3<3<3 AMEMONOS

[jontydagar]

through movie constant gardner it seems

it is tragedy of poor world people to see how in some corners of world , it takes years to raise a life from being child to man,like we are born to be a poor hungery man ,why do it is so ,there are initiatives to find olution by running government but noones comes out to help poor people , so as a poor man we should start to create our own space in world

[angelica5999]

Me da mucha tristeza ver taaaanta pobreza y falta de atención médica , pero aún así a los chicos se les ve felices, acostumbrados de vivir cada día en esta ambruna , El video me encantó, no por estar feliz, por las vida que les toca vivir , si no por ver tanto niño indefensos sin protección ¿ que futuro les espera? que pena ,.... como controlar todo esto?...pero es la realidad, ojala Dios tenga compasión de ese pueblo!!!

[angelica5999]

Ohhhh, que hermosa canción !!!, bellísimas las imágenes, muy bellos esos chicos de color, mmmm,...me encantan son tiernísimos . Ah volviendo al tema, esta cancion proboca algo muy extraño en mi , pero me gusta, a pesar de no entender nada de nada su letra, ¡ me encantaría saber de que se trata!!!, un saludo desde Chile

[tabomgoddess]

I rememebr when I use to contemporary dance to this. we danced a sequence to this song, made such an impact and improvement on my moves.. because you could just feel the emotion. Im african and I knew the lyrics were deep.Beautiful.

[jbotia1]

Muy linda

[johnypireaus]

the scenes of the movie that r shawn between 2:00-2:20 r so emotional. Especially when the kid is abandoned.

[pablorubiolugo]

One of the best movies ive seen. Beautiful, and touching, but so underrated

[PelonLatino]

He is amazing....and powerful voice.

[Wiesiek7476]

"Wierny Ogrodnik" ukazuje NIESTETY fragment jakże bolesnej prawdy o krajach tzw.trzeciego świata,i jakże pięknie zakamuflowane"dobroczynne" gesty wielkich mocarstw.Ayub stworzył piękną i prostą muzykę,jest wielu równie wspaniałych wykonawców podobnego pokroju muzyki tj.Ismael Lo...itd.Ja już dawno odkryłem piękno w prostocie.... i cóż chcieć więcej.

[levanyzzuf]

Translation: "I am really depressed. Depressed, depressed. Depressed, depressed. This is an extremely depressing song."

[monalisasmilesforyou]

@levanyzzuf Not everyone can appreciate good music. The real lyrics are:

Dear children,

the rain is coming,

bring the cows in the cattle,

bring in our wealth

[levanyzzuf]

@monalisasmilesforyou Yes, I know what it means. Just trying to take the piss out of it.

[Beyonce357]

stupid song :D

[monalisasmilesforyou]

@Beyonce357 You can't be serious...

[666makiavel]

Geofffroy oryema got songs similar to this...very deep and touching without understanding one single word...I love it

[spiritos22]

God doesn't have hands but our own.

[mecha1007]

[nannobr]

2:14 sweet small dog

[jicleal]

Just make me cry!!It's so hard to see all those people suffering and nobody to help them!

[Joeyfulco]

Fantastic! Intense Piece of Work! Wonderful!

[benitosoriano]

Soundtrack movie " The Philanthropist" 

[aruwimi]

If you like "Kothbiro" then check out as well Papa Wemba with his song "Awa Y'okeyi", the same intense African voice (in Lingala instead of Luo).

[kunoichi24]

I love this song

[Elina22100]

L♥ve this s0ng...!!! Going to dance this vrY s0on...!!!

[OqueEmusica]

Only americans dont like this type of songs

they perfer wars  Give peace to Africa

[zubernick]

@OqueEmusica What an incredibly stupid comment. Music transcends borders.

[OqueEmusica]

@zubernick yes but not the american border

[zubernick]

@OqueEmusica My existence proves you wrong. Peoples are not monolithic; you're overgeneralizing; open your eyes.

[andyhutton7yahoo]

@OqueEmusica I'm American. I like this music. Your comment was stupid and overgeneralizing.

[monalisasmilesforyou]

@OqueEmusica I love this song...and I'm an American. Don't be so quick to judge. Not all Americans support the wars. I hate war and everything it stands for. I have donated time and money to funds and efforts for peace.

[isolafilicudi]

molto belo e sincero....ci fosse la didascalia....!!!!

[vrotw]

simplemente bellisimo

[dangerousangel86]

My pets love this song. It makes them turn into wistful and dream-like little creatures.

[Alphaleonys]

Un Musico Interesante. Ayub Ogada.

El tema se llama Kothbiro. Busquen la traduccion de la letra.

[sandelaselva]

me gusta mucho la musica es muy dulce aunque de una dulzura amarga, vi la pelucila y me parecio una barbaridad yo le pongo 10 puntos , esu nna musica relajante inclusive.

[TheMartinmg]

he is my mentor

[karimlorena]

Hermosa cancion, Maravilloso pueblo, muy dura realidad.

[artbynature]

thanks GiobbiT. thank you for clarifying that. what a beautiful sound and playing on the nyatiti.

[artbynature]

to pengeralus, the instrument is a kalimba or thumb piano. it is known by other names such as mbira, karimba, likembe, mbila and more. hope that helps. you can buy them if you look in fair trade shops.

[GiobbiT]

This is called Nyatiti

[DreamExess]

wonderfull wonderfull music, so sad and beautifull together........

thanxx

[pengeralus]

this is so beautiful, especially the instrument playing. it reminds me of an instrument my father had that i would play with when i was a child. it is a rectangular wooden block, hollowed out, with metal tines across the opening. you'd use your thumbs on it from what i remember, kind of like how people text now! lol, everything is a circle. does anyone know the name of that instrument? in the back of my mind i know the name, but not right now. i'd so appreciate if you know andreplied to this!

[anayjose97]

esta canción me transporta al primer lugar que compartí con lo más bonito de mi vida. Me da mucha paz

[macioong]

2;07... oO przytłacza mnie ten widok..

[GruppoAfric]

meravigliosa

[declanmci]

The song is Dholuo, spoken on the Western Kenya (Nyanza province mostly) by Luo (Obama's father is a Luo)

[yzkweh1]

This song is so beautiful I am wondering if anyone knows what language this is and/or the interpretation of this song because I would love to know what he is saying, thanks!

[ooOleksandrAaa]

Ayub Ogada is from Kenia. Translation is smthng like this:

"Auma do you hear what I say

The rain is on it's way

Return our cattle home

Yaye the children

What is it that you think you do?

The rain is on it's way r

Return our cattle home. "

I've got it from another website, so i don't know if it's true interpretation.

And sorry, but my English isn't perfect ;D

[jackabuya]

@ooOleksandrAaa you are right on the translation. thats the Luo language, Luos live in western kenya from where Barrack Obamas father came from. enjoy!!

[emashcmb]

@yzkweh1 I can speak that language. its my language infact.

[yzkweh1]

Wow that's really great, I am originally from Liberia my family came over to the states when I was 3 years old and my parents made an executive decision not to teach us their dialect while we were learning English in America, and I so wish they would have taught us their native tongue, so people especially young people who still speak their language is so intriguing to me. So what country and language is this song from?

[emashcmb]

@yzkweh1 Its great, wen i moved to the U.K in 2006 and ive always been proud to hold on to my african identity but its never too late to learn. I assure you...maybe one day you could learn if you go to liberia like for holidays or something. The language i speak is a Nilotic language called Dholuo same language sang on the video, widely spoken in the lake region of western kenya and is where i used 2 live. Im always learnin things abt my culture especially frm research.

[19Gregor86]

Brak mi słów... oglądałem ten film 3 raz i nadal mnie masakruje... a muzyka to istne arcydzieło. Oby więcej takich filmów!

[shineblondy]

Świetny film oglądaliście ?

[yetichuj]

@shineblondy : film jest niesamowity a na tej piosence płakałem. Jest tak piękna

[Menquisto]

doskonaly film a muzyka ze az ciarki po ciele przechodza..

[CINEKX81]

świetna !!!!

[raignman]

widzę że oglądałeś film przed chwilą ;)

[CINEKX81]

tak świetny film i muzyka rewelacja

[vilmercenario]

brutal, película de obligado visionado en TODAS las escuelas!!!!!

Pero que dios permite esto, venga ya!

[calandialdo]

que hay que hacer???

[kjellkiel]

the best movie of all times

[nyanamjaber]

The Head of the Home is standing in his BOMA (homestead) calling out to his children warning them that the rain is comeing they need to return the cattle home to be teathered and then shelter from the rain. it is satirical. metaphors. a warning to the people of impending danger the wealth needs to be gathered and secured and the people should shelter before the storm hits-

[yeimaya]

first heard this song on a friends CD player as she drove in the driveway... it made my hair stand on end... so sad and so beautiful.

[watchjoseph]

Dear children, the rain is coming, bring in the cattle, bring in our wealth

[aprilwoje]

Such a beautiful song...I first heard it on the Putumayo Cd "Music from the coffee lands". I just love it. And the children in this video are gorgeous as well.

[thinuwan]

May god bless you all.. awesome track..!! says all there is to say..

[alcaluno]

Product of European imperialism!

Where are human rights?

and the UN?

where are the religions?

Africa continent tortured and forgotten!

[Greenis123]

the religions are there. They have so mmany churches in the slum that I can't count them. And many of them are ruled by corrupted africans with no europeans involved. We have much guilt what is happening in Africa. But not all of it is our fault. It is time we make africa responsbile for itself.

[samopdrift]

such a bitter remark and -alas- mostly true. I did not forget Africa. It hurts me more then i can express in words seeing the most beautiful continent on Earth being ripped apart by corruption, war and disease. But WE can make a difference! We can demand from our governments to really DO something about humanitarian actions, not just words. WE can demand from our bank not to invest our money in weapon trades or landmine production. To name but a few examples...

[amimanojit]

a very poignant and haunting song....loved constant gardener...amazing movie!

[tinaatieno]

ok on the debate of the language as to which this song is, its in my native luo tribe which is a nilotic dialect spoken in western kenya by a community that occupies the shores of lake victoria.

[thelakeofsorrow]

hey, thanks a lot to all of you guys, almost every comment is respectfull and educational. this is rare to see on youtube. Love to all. (sorry the bad english)

[Mchumba]

Oh I just found this song again and it makes me sooooo glad. Not the song itself because it's so sad but the feeling of finding it. It's a great one.

[evilfly96]

God help them,and us all!because they kill us day by day

[ManUtdiszbest]

This song sends shiver down my spine.

[skaktossen]

Great movie, beautyful song.

[PTFAbedeh]

Hey, does anyone know the piece playing when Tessa and Justin first meet and make love? I need to know, it's been stuck in my head forever...

[pompousmofo]

the song is in Luo, he is saying "Ouma, if you hear me. The rain is coming, bring the cattle back home."

[KRISHNARAJIYENGAR]

what a sweet sound of the Nyatiti! I bought a small one from a local Nairobi market and it has nylon strings. But the sound is etheral!

[lotusfaulu]

A slight correction. Ayub Ogada is from Kenya-East Africa, This song is sung in the Luo language.

[EmilioCid]

It is not quechua. The musician, Ayub Ogada, who sings that beautiful song, is from Quenia-Africa, so the language must be from there. Quechua is an anciant language from latin america. Someone made a slide show with images from South american people, so the confusion!

SImone-Brazil

[tinaatieno]

Just a slight correction Quenia is spelt Kenya... yes and the language is from Kenya. Its a tribe known as luo

[HPgroupie]

I remember hearing this when I was little. Still hits me.

[hesse627000]

Thank you to Lelacsam & Safenectomia for correcting my mistake. One more detail, I wanted to point out, was that the QUECHUA language is dying because is no longer taught at schools in Latin America. When the Spaniards came to Latin America, they impose their language upon the native american tribes. Still, their language manage to survive. Nowadays, it's become a dying language.

[SAFENECTOMIA]

you are always welcome , we all are learning new things every day

[intzection]

even though i don t understand what the lyrics mean it s a beautyful song....we all must help africa and help these people dream again!

[hesse627000]

I may be mistaken with the language in the song. But, I found somebody named CHAMALU, a South American native indian, of a Quechua ancestry. I thought that the song was sung in Quechua.

Should anybody know what language The Constant Gardener is being sung. Please, tell us all. We would appreciate it.

[lelacsam]

The singer, Ay(o)ub Ogada is Luo from Kenya, and my guess is that it's his mother tongue, the luo language

[SAFENECTOMIA]

is definitely LUO it means the "coming rain" or in spanish " la lluvia venidera"

[hesse627000]

The language is called: QUECHUA.

It is still spoken in Guatemala and parts of Bolivia and in all over The Andes. It used to be widely spoken by the native tribes of Central and South America before The Spaniards came to impose Spanish as the official language of Latin America.

[ichbingott4510]

Not to sound ignorant, but what language is this? I'm so very intrigued by different lifestyles, languages and cultures that it drives me to learn all i can about them. Thank you to anyone who can provide information

[SAFENECTOMIA]

why? if the sky the moon and the sun is the same for them, why all is so different. Is unfaire

[torak001]

me gusta esa cancion me pone en paz =)

ke mal p2 la gente ke vive asi y ke afortunados los ke tenemos compu para poder ver esto

[xXxSilanCexXx]

That's how a lot of people live and we don't even apriciate the things we have

[plathido]

my soul is in pain..my heart is in pain

[evkmf]

watched the movie yesterday.

having ties with Kenya - I couldn't be left without a pain in my heart...

it doesn't have to be beautiful and deadly!

[lancelott79a]

The ending was really sad and heart-wrenching.

Nonetheless, it's a great film that's worth watching.

[reconditas]

fault of Europe, with the neocolonialism...

Africa don´t need help, just need be Africa,

One exemple are the donations of cloths, how the donations are more inexpensive than the cloths made at the africa factory this ones fail, and many people lose theirs jobs...

Sorry my english mistakes, i´m brazilian and i´m still learn it.

[maakkk]

One of the most haunting and most sad movies ever.

[dr1gba]

Nowhere in Africa is also very sad

[krangtube]

sad and real

the hole world close the eyes to africa

dictators, blood diamons, diseases,slavery, hungry...

[anachoresis11]

Jemu się podoba muzyka, jej się podoba muzyka, to niech się spotkają i sobie może spodobają :)

A na poważnuie to rzeczywiście super. Ja polecam jeszcze "Dicholo".

[dr1gba]

Polish  Hooligans

[reefdoctor001]

in english also please

[estefanco]

"reefdoctor001:

in english also please"

Umm.. I recommend you learn at least one foreign language. I promise you it will expand your horizons.

[thexecutioner15]

that was some good talking mate

i like what you said (estefanco) :)

[krolikator]

Nie wiem co jest lepsze ten film czy ta piosenka.

[bahiablanca1984]

ja myśle, że mężczyzna, który się wzrusza tą muzyką może zostać moim mężem:)

[lorenaoliveira13]

Adoro! Não me canso de ver! Assisti ao filme e agora me encanto com o vídeo!

[erickr777]

Triste, muy triste, y muy bonita y agradable.

[artur0pl]

kobieta lubiaca taka muzyke moze smialo zostac moja zona :)

[laraira123]

Concuerdo con kerotakis.

[szymonmlody1]

what do the lyrics mean?

[wildlandfirewolf]

it is something along the lines of:

The rain is coming, time to go home

[mesheditor]

it will eventually rain soon

[GeorgeRadier]

Literally: "People, do you hear me? The rain (storm) is coming, bring the cattle back home". Meaning: My people, prepare yourselves for the hard times that are ahead.

Context: African herdsmen would take their cattle out to look for pasture returning with them at the end of the day (or days even weeks). The language is called "Dho'luo" . The community that speaks it are called the "Luo" and live in East Africa: Southern Sudan, Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania. President Obama's father was a Luo.

[akuraoo]

And Geoffrey Oryema is a Ugandan Luo.

[maakkk]

This song is great, and the movie... one of the best I've seen in my life.

[kerotakis]

Hermosa y triste canción. Una realidad que duele.

[dady1143]

fantastic song of an amazing film..

[tuska90]

Niesamowita muzyka... można ją słuchać bez końca :) I love it!

[sawpl]

jest swietna;] polecam film jesli nie widzialas

[tuska90]

[Cliveots]

Conosemos la musica es muy bonita! Que pasa con te? No megustan haters en You tube.

[72grantorino]

Hah, hahye hahye Ahye hahye Ahye hahye Om maam na pum imjya Kothbiro Ke luru do ketaa-lha Hah, hahye hahye Ahye hahye Ahye hahye Yah yebi tom nuguee Um kuru tili bare made Kothbiro Kem luru do ketaa-lha

[owangrachar]

this is wrong brother, he says Koth biro, Kel uru dhok e dala.

[owangrachar]

Ouma ku winja

[Cliveots]

Thanks for the nice try but you got the lyrics wrong. This is luo, a native language in Kenya.

Hah, hahye hahye

Ahye hahye

Ahye hahye

Ouma ku winja

Koth biro,

Kel uru dhok e dala.

Hah, hahye hahye

Ahye hahye

Ahye hahye

[mariokayak]

que canción más bonita.

no se lo que dice su letra, pero los sentimientos se transmiten con facilidad

[andylowings]

It means come home, the rains are coming, bring the cattle home.

In Luo

Ayub is a great artist, but needs all your friendship in this time.

[trickmastermonkey]
