Can never get enough of this man's music..Ntate Mtukudzi...one of the most loved african musicians in Botswana.beautiful and soft spoken man..God Bless Zimbabwe for blessing us with such a musician.
Oliver Mtukudzi is 100 percent pure talent. What a voice and what a level of guitar playing. So poetic and wise. I have become a huge fan of his. And I love this song.
I strongly believe that Oliver Mutukudzi's music has united Zimbabweans, if not africans more that the 30 years of Mugabe's reign in power. Though I dont understand even a single word in this specific masterpiece, Its one of my very favourite from Oliver. Long live!
There is something in his voice... some power, that makes the whole room quiet as welistened to him sing. Sad none of us understand a word what he is singing about. Ahhh! tthe power of music.
Is it me or is it that all of Oliver Mtukudzi's songs are exceptional?I mean I can listen to his songs from sunrise till sunset but still feel that I have never heard him sing!I definitely luv his music!...lol..<3.
@shimuis hahaha why do you say that , this guy is a korekore from mashonaland in zimbabwe i know this because my mom is also a kore kore and we are zimbabweans cheers
This song take me close to my late Mom, she loved the Neria movie than nothing else I have ever known her to love. She watch this movie more than any other movie she have ever known and she brought a lot of women to watch this movie more than nothing else. This movie is pure Africa and made for African women's are oppressed after the death of their husband. Thanks Oliva for uniting me with me Mom once again
Aya madhara edu...this song brings back all my dignity...all over the world people see me and my people se nhapwa, beggars, aids infected thieves rampaged by poverty. But this masterpiece gives me back all the hope that our politicians have stolen from us.....well done Tuku, you are one in a million! Long live beloved Motherland...long live Zimbabwe!!
@MrBENJAS16 neria, neria, dont lose hope neria, god is with you thats the chorus. this song is soundtrack to a sad drama about a lady who goes through hell, it also documents how strong women can be through hardship
He says "Neria, dont give up, God is with you" (Mwari anewe)
"Having, your husband die, my sister, dont give up, God is with you
Live is a (rollercoaster) Look out for the bad things Neria, dont give up, God is with you"
((((Although he doesnt say roalacoaster, it has the same meaning...))))
then he says "Women are not treated well, living like an Ophan, dont give up Neria, God is with you. Death is jelous, to seperate lovers, Mawari anewe. Have a string heart. :)
so glad to find this - heard it on an Africa compilation and absolutely love it - so do my kids.....now I can find more.....so beautiful....wish I understood the lyrics.
The LYRICS (Part 1 of 2): Neria. Neria, ooooh. /***Chorus starts here*** Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. God is with you Neria. God is with you. ***Chorus ends here.***/ Being widowed my sister, needs a strong heart. ***Chorus*** Neria. Neria, oooh. ***Chorus*** Life has unexpected events. Be careful of temptations. ***Chorus*** Women are treated like slaves. Living as orphans. Don't be disheartened Neria, God is with you
The LYRICS (Part 2 of 2): Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. May your heart be strong , be strong. God is with you. Death is jealous. It seperates those in love. Don't be disheartened my sister. God is with you. Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Work hard Neria. God is with you. Neria. Neria, ooooh. Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Don't be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Work hard Neria. God is with you. Translated by M. H. Thank you "Tuku."
@letynoname I have now posted the rest of the lyrics. I transcribed them three weeks ago, and tried so many times to post them... somehow the posting process was failing! Anyway, enjoy.
