Thandiswa - Lahlumlenze

[Bozewani]

Lahlu umlenze- move your legs do something

Stnad and up form Mzantsi

[EbonRealqueen]

they not trying to be white but its the different types of stones that are crashed to decorate their faces.it has nothing to do with then trying to be white...can be red or white hahahahha its also cause white stands out on dark skin....if u try to decorate u dont use dull colours that u cant see hahahah...hope it helps XcupcakeXprincessX.anothing thing u must know is if u sing this type of music u far from trying to be white

[MegaDiva1999]

Is that Bonnie Henna at the start of the vid shaking what her Mama gave her?

[afro1ness]

I believe in Afrocentrism, AFRICA IS 1!! so celebrate that, lets put down the weapons against our brothers and sisters. let us respect the african girl child and our women. let us learn each other cultures and intergrate and not become stagnant. let us celebrate our music together, drink beer, intermarry and share our lands, let go back to the old generous africans we used to be, the wise africans who could tell time without the machines, Africa this is our time, lets shine all over! i love all

[Tshikonelo]

LET THE MUSIC PLAY ON AND ON AND ON...

[kykdaar]

Thandiswa sends chills up and down my spine with her delivery of Modern Tribal Fusion ... to my mind Thandiswa, Simphiwe and Lira are "the" voices out of South Africa to take note of ...

'mshengu'

[misslivinlife88]

[stimela03]

l went to the launch of this album and i think it coincided with the launch world cup announcement and my fucked up self got too drunk and ko'd ,just after this song

[MrStiggytube]

Yo, yo, yooo... I just love this song.. and the video its... splendid... (just beautiful!)... Even when i am far from home, i just tune in to this one and i get to remember "Who am I" i just proud to be Z.A... Holla! frm the Far east...

[HAWKSZIM]

missing back home where we wld dance all night on the verandas.eeiiish!!!!!!!!!!

[blacqueable]

love this song!

[curvious]

Niceeeeee. I only understand what the guys is singing in Shona (a Zimbabwean language). He's saying "The sounds from our side, the sounds from your side...the drums(music) from our side and the drums(music) from your side.... So, you and I, lets mix our music together and make music." I think this is a beautiful song that speaks of the true beauty of African music.

[tiadoinc]

PURE SONG NO COMMENT

[silavajune]

how can anyone ''unlike'' this song?!?!?.....l.o.v.e from the UK

[imtheFreshest]

nice

[qfrontsouth]

does one really need a translation here? from what to what? it's a body thing as a soul thing, it touches you and what is there to translate?

[jamilamatina]

WOOOW!!!! Great Video, Great Song!!!

[cafekonron]

maravillosa musica de AFRICA

[Ezkeel]

bewar of trols ho purposefully spread dischord as agents of the system which draws strength from divides and conqueors

what are the folks saying?

Is it possible to get a translaton?

Peace Mrw

[acedaface954]

@Ezkeel wish i knew too.

[afrocentricdude]

Pro afro-centric, luv this tune!!

[mungawana]

vaudze appleseed vaudze

[JAHmelaz]

@kbee247007 language is no fckd up bredrin,i guess if it was sung in english u will b over the moon,imancipate urself of race hatred,probably ur blek dissing ur own bantu bredrin ,jah live up,b proud of ur own pple

[JAHmelaz]

love ur fellow bredrin dont diss dem, im not shona but zulu meself ,i thot u wud kno betta if ur out of africa either zulu ,shona xhosa ,shangaan, ur blacks period....

[JAHmelaz]

im not figthing wiv u,just a shame seeing blek pple bieng coconuts, trying 2 b white so 2 fit in a society that they not accepted in,get disgusted by their own pple....

[XcupcakeXprincessX]

just what IS being white? what does color have to do with how a person acts?! i don't see any black people getting buckets of paint painting them selves white, AND correct me if i'm wrong but don't people in africa paint themselves white all the time for religious reasons? so PLEASE, tell me, just how are people "trying 2 b white"?? because i have no idea what that means

[DutcHcHinK]

@XcupcakeXprincessX I am white ... and not proud of it. I hate the white culture, it's addicted to money, authority & no really human things ... I think, that splitting the races into Good (White) and Bad (Black) was the reason for very very much hate of the human at each other =/ (Sry for my bad english I am german i think you know what I mean)

[YahSedQanu]

@DutcHcHinK hey! I see that you are not to proud to admit to the unrighteousness done to the peoples of in this world...It makes a whole lot of a difference to see that europeans aren't completely done in by the "white is right" doctrine! I guess there is a place for all of us in this world. And as soon as the elite have gone... there is going to be much love from one continent to another! Don't worry to much, things will be set in order, if you don't mind redemption will come out of Africa!

[makuzha]

shona is not fucked up language u cow dung

[3ssm]

ah fantastic-i didnt realise that they were singing in shona as well.wow-love this.

[kui0011]

I'm just tired of africans trying to lose the cultures and all get the hip hop cultures

PLEASE people let's keep the cultures and traditions alive.

We are very special people on this earth let's celebrate our songs and dances other wise we will loose everything and trying to put ourselves in other people cultures....

VIVA !!! AFRICA!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kindomofghana]

[lilmoe4beatz]

i love this trck and the beat is out of this world but i have no idea whtz she's singing about so would someone be kind enough to let me knw plz.

[Nhlanhla07]

from the liner notes: Whose business is it if I dance, I am proud, take such pride in you Africa, we live through music, yes we live through song, wherever, however, Africans live through song, so whose business is it, whose business is it if I dance.

[lilmoe4beatz]

thnks for the rply.

[xxlonexxlass]

You rock...this is good music!! It reminds me of when I used to live in SA and Zim.

[malume]

Bakithi, jealous down.... this is so good. Tired of trying to be American. Be real, stand up and be counted maAfrika.

Halala

[nunungema]

l must say with all do respect to sis Thandiswa, ukulahla umlenze,(sleep around)has nothing to do with being proud of your people or country. Nice song though

[mamavox]

eeeerrr doesn't she mean 'to dance' in this context? not 'sleeping around' ? i'm no zulu/xhosa expert here but i was sure she meant 'dancing'

[mafutatane]

Yes, she means dancing in this context!

[katingani]

Hey Africa, my beloved motherland.

[kykdaar]

Thandiswa ... weya cula ne umoyo se khaya ...

[sediforever]

so who's business is it if i dance....lose translation guys...her new single is out(wena o i ngoma) love it love it...i bet the new album will be better than this one...

[kingizoman]

[jahelihle]

itshaYE MNTAKABABA

[nme30]

anybody keen to translate some of what shes saying?

bigups appleseed!!!!

[pitchblack3d]

sometimes translation isnt really worth it, its like translating french into german whilst trying to keep it sexy...,,,,if that makes sense?

[nothingbutdabest22]

well then give a general idea then

[nme30]

shes awesome!

[hertmann]

baie goed!

[khethiwenzama]

Who cares anyway, lahlumlenze wena

[chinanassm]

i love this song so much, but can somebody tell me what she is singing about.....keep it up thandiswa....

[cloughie1978]

Thandiswa rules but when is the next album?

[Africanbella1]

Eisssh!This song reminds me of the good olden days visiting my mum's in the Pondoland (eMangcwanguleni, Libode).Back then,life was all rossy and looked like this "Eden". Amampondo were always full of life unlike the cold Abenguni of Engcobo(my dad's side). 4 ages I could c myself getting married 2"INTSIZWA ebhince yafohlela", thee "Guy" of the village dressed 2 kill with a big FM(radio cassette) on his shoulder!!! Oomabuyekwendeni, abafana kunye neentombi had a blast over X-mas besinela lengoma!

[ntefe]

ndiyakuthanda Thandiswa carry on,uwulahle nje ayondaba mntu vele

[kamalunga]

Such a classic mix of SA and Zim languages, a star..ngiyakuthanda impela

[jucaramacara]

OMG I love Thandiswa!!!

[nativecubed]

Singa unshinsha uhlaza wonke ngamazwi etu, simunye...sindawonye!!!

[Bozewani]

Ndiathanda Thandiswa, wena umculo olumangeleka

[NovakMary]

beauty in motion and sound

[Bozewani]

Move your leg, get up and do something in life instead of just sitting around.

[Bozewani]

Ndiyaphile eMelika, mafikisa kodwa ndiayathanda umZantsi Afrika

umculo oluhle kakhulu!

[mafikisa]

With so many countries that were colonised by Britain, I am nt suprised that billions speak the language.For the colonised-it was forced down their throats...no wonder peopel think it is easiest language. I disagree...Pho indaba kabani?

[Bozewani]

Well, Chinese is said to be more complicated.

The four tones and the multitude of characters, but I assume people have a general memory of characters.

[vanhuvakuru]

there is no language on the face of the earth called chinese. most chinese people either speak cantonese or mandarin, not "chinese."

[alcenia2800]

lol...

[Letsoela]

Bonnie Mbuli is too hott.

[Bozewani]

African languages are not really difficult,understood a nice thing called subject concord for example intombazana is girl in Xhosa/Zulu and izintombazana is plural becaue in becomes izin, umbagazame is politics(singular),imibagazame would be plural um(u implied) is imi) and so on, for fifteen different noun classes

[NShutterbug]

I don't know why this was marked down - but thanks for the info.

[trishasinger]

whats the song about???

[bassyjazzy]

[gvku]

[AbeokutaCity1]

South Africa's Jill Scott!!!

[nothingbutdabest22]

no jill scott cannot sing

[sexylatita4real]

it means that whos business is it when i want to break a leg (on d dancefloor)..its in ma language xhosa d most complex language u wil evr hear abt..many meaning for everythin!!

[nothingbutdabest22]

it is a complex language. those click are hard to emulate

[nothingbutdabest22]

that is a compliment. it is hard for someone to just easily pick up the language. you didn't have to hate and give me a negative 1

[123Darkchocolate]

i totally agree-i 2 am xhosa n i'll admit its a very hard language,it possibly is the hardest language ther is.ther r many diff meanings 4 evrything n der r diff words 4d same thing.

[Outcastraider]

Same with English.

[lionzion22]

English is one of the most staright forward languages known. Quite primitive.

[Outcastraider]

Not really.  There are too many exceptions for it to be straightforward.

[naitore]

sorry there, but english is the easiest language in the world, with one of the smallest alphabets why do you think so many people know it?? it is one straight road. most african lanuages are more or less like greek:-))

[manvince]

Hi Naitore, I beg to differ with your comment that english is the easiest languange and thats why many people speek it. Thats not the reason. The british had a strong navy/army and they colonized almost the entire world, from Africa, Asia, The Americas, etc. I've spoken english and swahili all my life, and I know swahili is way much easier than english(my opinion). What we see depends on where we stand

[buddu100]

I agree; I speak Siswati and Zulu, and believe english is just as difficult, mainly due to the very extensive vocalbulary. English has so many words...and so many different phrases and idioms, that many african languages just dont have.

[shorte55]

English has got to be the most complicated for it varies. its a combination of so many languages and wherever you go there are so many dialects that will make your head spin. the same word may have two meanings or two words have the same meaning or the same pronunciation but spelled differently. so thats confusion starting right there. where as most other languages are simple and what is said is what is meant. thats just my opinion.

[bdoteazy]

im hooked on this song, is part of this song in english though, if not... someone please translate, or give me a breakdown on wat dis song is actually about... Thanx

[ssiipphhoo]

yindaba kabani!

[Ohimaqueen]

What happened to her video of `everything` s gonna be alright, everything`s looking bright`? can someone post it again please?

[medmonmak]

The video is well done; amazing pattern- 3 women dancing different patterns yet beautifuly coordinated. Variety of SAs traditional dances compacted together. Great stuff

[aslanayeh]

I love, love love this song, the video, the choreography....and I dont even know what she's saying

[liyonela]

utshayile mtam

[kire1179]

[vimbu]

[yviva]

[moremi123]

from the liner notes: Whose business is it if I dance, I am proud, take such pride in you Africa, we live through music, yes we live through song, wherever, however, Africans live through song, so whose business is it, whose business is it if I dance.

[slugluv1313]

yes, i have the CD too, but i wish the lyrics were in the language in which she is singing (Xhosa?) -- does anyone have these lyrics? i have searched on the web but have not had any luck . . . i LOVE this song and sure would love to know the "original" words!!!!!!!!!!

[phindele]

[Nhlanhla07]

[tawodzera]

[pamism]

Thandiswa has set for herself and the rest of the country a high standard and it would be a great fete for other local musicians to produce music of this caliber

[Applebaum]
