I hated that when I saw this I was crying because of before and my friends were trying not to laugh. This is emotional just hearing this, it's a song of grief and it's flawless. Nothing laughable here...

[valpolover09]

i love everything about this musical

[FerociousHaleyBug]

its amazing how even though this was sung in a different langauge that i can never even dream to learn- and i am crying

Ok so many people way say this sounds bad. They may say it sounds annoying or falt or that she cannot sing. If you listen to traditional African music, which this is supposed to be like, then you will realize that African music sounds like this. It is not about sounding good. It is about expressing your emotions which she beautifuly did in this. She poured her heart into this and it is done in an amazing way. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Like if you agree!

When I went home or to southern africa to go meet family, I had to sing this at the funeral. It was so sad.

[AdrianaMimiSparrow]

I remember the dancers performing to this... it's one of the sadest, yet most moving. They changed it in the version I saw last night... I kinda like the origional better. The wail at the end is just so emotional...

[ManaYuGiOhGX5Ds]

[mskrei93]

She says leka, not the "n" word

[Lugitorix]

@mskrei93 Doesnt stop alot of them from enjoying it as though it WAS the n word xD

[dathotshit07]

[deacson435]

[BassBwoy3]

True. I loved this song. So sad and heartfelt.

[cougarsky123]

This is one of the most powerful songs of this Musical (followed by close seconds, of course) and she performed it beautifully when I saw the show!

[BroadwayFREAK01]
