Malaika, which means "Angel" in Swahili, was a song first recorded by Kenyan musician Fadhili William and his band Jambo Boys in 1960. It was later re-recorded at Equator Sound Studios by the British-born Kenyan music promoter Charles Worrod, who marketed the ballad to eventually becoming an internationally acclaimed song.
My best music ever. am in love with these guyz my big bro jabu RIP am alwayz gona miss and love u am american but crzy abt south africa cant wait to retire and come back home in jo'burg soweto my city and permanent address for ever die and burried on the motherland soil viva south africa and God bless south africa the best place on earth and the entire planet. you dont believe me go there and see bcoz seeing is believing
JaBu trully a great man you will always be missed and i'm am happy to say i've known you and will always cherish the CD you gave me and my sista RIP <3
this song reminds me so much about my visit to South Africa. damn, life was still good back then or maybe only I didnt know life was never gonna be the same again afterwards. I was sooooooooo happy!!!
Hi Vhenekai & AfricanDreamer, the pleasure is all mine. I agree the lyrics are not positive but I guess more than sad they are really capturing what some of us feel when the one who was once captivated by you suddenly falls out of love. For anyone who has ever had a disenchanted lover, it resonates. and yes the dance beat is awesome. Vhenekai, I have actually never listened to Mama Makeba´s Malaika song, so I don´t know, I must check it out. God bless you too.
Translation: Dali Wam (My Darling) Wangibuka Wandinyanya (you are looking at me with disgust) Uzand´khumbula mhla uphela amandla (you will miss me the day your strength fails)
@Mangwadza Thanks for telling us wat its talking about,we can't lie that we're all south african and actually i heard that the Malaika that LATE mama Makeba sang wasn't in South African,it was from East Africa, wat do you say bro??And by the way wat does it talk about,i love it but do not know wat it talks about.May GOD bless you.
@vhenekai Malaika is a swahili song written by the Late Fadhili Williams (RIP) and it basically talks about love. Malaika means Angel, malaika, nakupenda malaika - my angel i love you my angel, nashindwa na mali sina - am defeated and i dont have wealth, ningekuoa malaika - i should have married you. Pesa yasumbuwa roho yangu - money is disturbing my soul, ningekuoa malaika - i should have married you angel.
First time i heard this i was up on Table Mountain in the gift shop. Three shop staff behind the counter dancing to it along with half the customers. Wonderful moment!!
Oh yes!! Thats the song I they used to play in club bilicanas (dar es salaam) every evening and everybody was dancing the same way except of the stupid azungu... thx for posting this wonderful song and bringing me back to the country I fell in love with...
@celestgh Haha! I would love to but I dont understand one word! I dont even know in which language they are singing... I thought it could be Swahili coz thez were playing it in Tanzania every evening. But its said that the group comes from South Africa?? Might be Zulu - I think "Siyakhumbula" means "We are missing" but thats all I understand =)
this song is abt a man singing after e woman whom e loved has left him because of his porverty..n e says u wil remember wen all ur strength is gone.after she leaves their poor shack to go 2 jahannesburg to seek riches w another man..etc
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG SUNG IN MANDELLA'S DOCUMENTARY.
Please help me find it. it sound lik this (ase lebo seleke asele ase lebo kuna na congo) I belive mama miriam sung it, but i can't find it, this is a shot in the dark but what the heck I belive i'll find it.
my mom sent this to my email i hv no clue what thr sayn im sure she doesnt either but its beautiful i do speak the language of music and this is simply lovely
basically he's saying his girlfriend has left him (coz he's poor) to like get money, but then she'll regret leaving him when life gets tough for her, and she'll remember
I bought the CD containing this song whilst I was in South Africa last year. Unfortunately it broke when if fell. Can any1 tell me where I can get the CD to buy in London.
track's about a lover who leaves the partner for greener pastures BUT starte missing the one left behind after he/she realises they messed up . lts hard to turn back coz they talked 'bull****' when they parted.
J adore cette musik. I m from Djibouti and i like too much the culture south africa and musik.This band and Mafikizolo,Johnny Clegg too je les adore (like).But if somebody have other artist and band from south africa or any videoclip of these bands please could you share with me.
They are singing about a lover who decides to leave her boyfriend because he has got no more money only to remember him later when he is well off. Then he does not have any more time for her!!
