reminds me of my late brother who left his 3 children,the last born son was only 3.it was a very sad incident.

[9styles9]

@ishytsar i'v been far far away from home for too long (15yrs). Listening to this song is like emotional therapy. It takes me right back to the good old times....

[ishytsar]

@9styles9

nice one :-)

[onetrackmaster]

I believe this is one of Zim's best track ever, very well crafted. Excellent lyrics and pure genius on guitar work. A real classic that have stood the test of time. Master of Song for real.

[Muity1928]

From the comments given this song appears 2 be sending a very powerful msg, can somebody kindly interpret it 4me, I really luv zis song!

[zimlover1]

@Muity1928...basically, the singer is asking God why all his loved ones are dying/are dead. It can be contextualized in the realm of the AIDS pandemic where parents were/are dying leaving all their children behind...(the singer also passed away a few years ago)...

[francisca1225]

RIP my dear,...we always remember you thru this song...

This track become the National Anthem in the 1990's I remember my friend Jojo who lost his dad used to cry whenever Samatenga is played. It's a touching song I used to feel for him till my dad died in 1998 and I was wallowing in the same boat with him.I wish if God just made us immortal.

[kachaso]

[simbabeta]

timeless classic

[musikanamukuru1]

Clara12syd: Thank you for your comment. I feel I need to pay tribute to my mom who died for me and others so we could continue to fight our different wars in this world. The nonsensical masacres going on in Zimbabwe have to stop. My mother died because of the sanctions and many other people did and still do. Join me in pertitioning that the sanctions be lifted immediately.

[Qyute]

@musikanamukuru1 Mugabe is responsible for that.

[clara12syd]

the song makes sense now that i lost my mum ...i know you loved me mum ...RIP Say goodbye to me in my sleep ...as I didnt say goodbye to you .The greatest woman in my life ...I love you

[musikanamukuru1]

Timeless. Mom 29 th Dec 2004 you departed. I know you loved me if it were possible you would have written me a letter to say "ndakafamba zvakanaka mwanawangu". I also know dai makatopiwa passport to come back a long time ago. But its not possible! Huyaizvenyu tipedzerane kuhope mom. Cannot love any other person more than you. Everything turnrd to rumble for me. When can I come? I suppose the controller general has not told you too. Luv.

[clara12syd]

@musikanamukuru1 ...I feel the same way exactly about my mum taken 24 April 2010 without saying goodbye

[alc2291]

[dropout209]

Hwedza Goto Gaza Murambinda via pedu pa St Barnabas. The best spell binding song by the late great. Some say "pasi hari guti" & when u play songs like this, it jus sends tears rushing down. It makes u realise there is mo to life than fighting & killing each other. On earth we were never meant to live forever. Rest In Peace to all who have gone before us xxxx

[steelchill]

Dorowa,Gunde,Sadza,Wedza,Nesha­va,Murambinda,Mombeyarara,Maku­mbe,Marenga,Sikireta,Chawatama­, one is left drifting in the mirages of the very tender perfect ghostly past, when things were to a young vigin mind simpler, when Xmas was a tyme to loook forward to, the music would take your concience, float yu gently through the sacred valleys,hills and plains of Zim,when love,honest and trust used to ule the soul,when most of us were still Zanu PF, i love,will allways love chopper....

[kevinchimpelo]

chokwadi murume uyu akasiya unyanzvi hwake .panekunyeperana kuripo kuvanhu vamwe vanoti hakuna munhu anoenda kudenga vamwe vanoti kunoendwa kudenga .saka chokwadi hama dzedu dzinofanirwa kutiudza kuti dzakafamba zvakanaka uye dzirikupi kuti pasave nokukakavadzana .

[babasirivemaplan]

There'e something original about these songs, it almost like they fill a void is us. Not just Chimbetu, but others as well excluding those Maskiri's etc. I recommend these songs to anyone that misses home because these songs mos def take you there temporarily...

[BlessedDan]

I agree with you sir! There's no place like Zim! For me..when i listen to these songs in my mind i go there in Nyazura near Mutare, that is where i come from. These songs take me there. I can't explain enough how this music has been a blessing to me. Evrytimt i listen to this music i stop and think..., the beautiful sunshine, growth point, makomo, hama dzese dziriko kumba....,haaaa mdhara!!! Miseve yedu iyi is The Music! Long Live to all my fellow Zimbabweans!!

[gurundoro1]

best musician zimbabwe has ever had,no doubt baby.

[onetrackmaster]

This is a real classic. Music well written and arranged. Timeless lyrics and catchy melody.

[BossLadyTyra]

always thought this song was about missing someone who just went away for a while but coming back. RIP S.C

[codeblue563]

I tried to sing along but could not finish a line as I had tears in my eyes. The song took me back to the days my father was alive. the thought that the man probably misses me and all my siblings. The man knew how to organise words - the man was good...

[madhombiro]

tiri tose in pain shamwari...i never thot my dhara would go and leave me defenseless,...he was my hero,my shield..inspite of being the most humble person i  ever met

[angiefun28]

me too madhombiro, yo dad was like mine, humble, caring, loving, down to earth...i went through the worst sort of things wen he died, drinking, smoking, vulnerable to all sorts- was just defenceless but i think he saw me in a state where ever he is and behold, i picked myself up again... madhombiro, yo dad is still the most humble person, yo hero and yo shield, yeah! hang in there, be positive, stay strong.... luv u
