[Mageza2009]

zimbabweans r the most divisive lot i've ever seen, simply ask what the songs says, not this i'm shona i don't understand. the truth is u don't understand the language not becoz u r shona lots of shona people do understand the song.

[madzibaba11]

[chipochiroorwa]

Being Shona as I am, I do get the meaning of this song even though I don't speak the language. This song sort of resonates my current state of mind. Wonderful and quite meaningful song. I wish all current music would emit such nostalgic feelings. Thanks Lovemore.

[tenyadza]

lovemore majaivana the great..the song makes me feel like crying-umoya wami

[rambotee]

Even though this song was released almost 21 years ago, however the significance of the lyrics mirrors the contemporary Bulawayo. Long live Blues the city of kings

[zimace]

[sitholepetronella]

i love this one...memories...wat a star!

[meandtadiwa]

I am Karanga, raised in the deep rooted Shona speaking region, but for me Majaivhana is a legend whose music is timeless and will leave 4ever. The man's music is a timely reminder of Zimbabwe's talent and richful resources that proud Zimbabweans should celebrate and be proud of. It reminds me of the happy days when with nothing in Zimbabwe we were all equal and ejoyed life to the fullest. Zimbabwe was great, and Zimbabwe will be great again. God will get rid of the mohots who have destroyed Zim

[iluvlyf]

Bless you Lovemore.

I grew up in Harare listening to your music on radio. Though I never understood a word of what the song said, it sounded (and still sounds) very good and had a sense of sincerity in your voice. Thanks to the person who posted the translation - now i understand the words.

Beautiful music. Beautiful voice. God bless you and your wonderful family...

[GeorgeTshuma]

uuummm excuse me thats my

dad and he's alive and well thank you!

[mindymccrity]

George beg your dad for a tour, the diaspora is starved. He has a legion of followers, i hope he knows. A good internet advert will draw crowds from all around the world. But we all know there is a time for everything, so if he is retired, thanks for all those years of good intertainment and education.

[george197623]

THis is good music it reminds me of home

[veroden1]

whoa! you say it like i mean that in a nasty way.i really thought he was dead.what's finding jesus got to do with anything?who said i had lost him?he's always been in my life.you on the other hand might need him.

[mindymccrity]

So you are a well wisher then. That's better.

[mindymccrity]

No, i was just politely trying to advise you to next time hold on to the anouncements until you go to the funeral and come back. Because people like that are mourned by the public, so if we did not know that he was still alive tochema.

[jacksonzw]

Iri tune rakapenga iri... what the hell is he doing in the States and why ist he producing more of this good stuff

[ashley121176]

my spirit is no longer here

it's far away, where the smoke thunders

Run, little boy and tell the elders

that I said, hold on let me recall properly.

That's a literal translation but as ever with African language that's not what he means.

Likely to be saying:

My thoughts are wondering, thinking of home (konthuthu ziyathunqa is a reference to Bulawayo)

I am proud to be born and bred in Bulawayo, now. Hope I interpreted correctly. If not, sorry and please correct me as well.

[tolerancem]

Thank you very much Ashley.that was kind of you.Now i understand.
