[FAME2246]

I miss South Afrika

Moved there when I was 3.5

Best 9 years of my life

at the time we always listend to Miriam Makeba and Brenda Fassie

Livin in a cold Netherlands gets you down sometimes

At those times it's always nice thinking of the freindly faces that I met there

[Espenji]

This song was gud. The dancing was dirty.

[gntabo]

nakupenda is Swahili for I love you; Brenda mixed some swahili in this song; songea nikubambe, songea nikubusu; come closer so that i can hold you, come closer so that i can kiss you...........................­...... lovely song

[MsFelike]

@gntabo Thanks so much for explaining this song, love it even more ...

[mkhusu]

[Aimee401]

Does anybody know the title of this song:

Africano eh pamba, americano eh pamba..kuya kuya nikubambe, kuya kuya nikubusu..songea nikupambe..nakupenda Africa...I think it's inspired by Brenda's Nakupenda n I've been looking for it everywhere!

[gihsergio]

[DGARA001]

Ndiympenda :)

[Dulcie79]

"Nakupenda, nikubusu, songea nikubambe, songea nikubusu" is Swahili language spoken by most East African Countries, and some parts of Congo, so as you can see, she represented the whole Africa as a continent.

[oneloveafrica92]

Kenne sie seit 2001 hab se in kenia in ner nachtbar das erste mal gehört und seitdem oft ihre musik gehört. Jedesmal wenn ich sie heut höre bekomme ich sehnsucht zurück nach afrika, es ist so traumhaft dort

[lilipad777]

"Noma Singazwani ngenkulumo

Kodwa ngiyazi ngothando sizozwana."

translated

"Even though we don't understand each other in language(when we speak)

But I know in love we will.

The song speaks for itself, it doesn't matter what lanuage it is its all about love. It's a mixture of different one's anyways, so why discect it.

Peace and love

RIP MAbrri

[wholelover]

it's sad that she died of a disease that I can cure.

[MrGnebaboris]

j'adore brenda

[waajaceylow]

AM still confused, was brenda singin in Swahili or KHosa??? COz nakupenda na ku waza is swahili language?? songea nikubambe??? is all swahili?? i thought she was singin in khosa before but since i know swahili i guess its not so!!! can any one clariffy??

[kakrikasupu]

@waajaceylow swahili remix

lmfao

[wholelover]

@kakrikasupu what's wrong with it being Swahili;

[lilipad777]

@waajaceylow

Maybe we should just say she is singing in a BANTU language, she mixes them up to create her own message, which is what we should really be focusing on.

I am South African, half Khosa and half Zulu, mara I went to school in Zim for a bit, and now I live in CAnada and have been for over 25yrs that's more than 2 thirds of my life but I am forever AFRICAN!!!

Brenda Fassie, spoke or sang in many languages, and I can hear, isxhosa, zulu, pedi, sishangane, sesotho, french ENJOY!

[malefti]

@lilipad777 Not forgetting the title 'Nakupenda' in Swahili...

[210514416]

@lilipad777 In this song she is singing in Xitsonga, a language spoken in Limpopo,RSA

[sexysunny1972]

[moseshap]

@elegance212 Nakupenda is Swahili indeed, there's a mixture of Swahili and zulu in the song. Great music

[liverpoolsfinest101]

@elegance212 she learned swahili due to her numerous visits to kenya/tanzania and her love of the language. she will be missed, a great person and performer.

[benvindo05]

[langa209]

@Bvojo which first world u talking about, if u talking about the US, u mean the world that was stolen from native americans and were kicked out to the reserves, britain, france and spain, stole all the african land took all the wealth. U aint shit u know shit. Africans are good people with rich culture. We come to western world to get wealth then go back home and retire in style while you lining up in social security office. I tell u africans are smart its just theat u dont know heffa

[bvojo]

langa with a name like that boy you must be congolese a country rich in minerals lush green fertile land but you are going to france britain and claiming asylum why bantu baby ? because as a black man man you are so stupid to run your country

come over here darkie and we will give you benefits and housing

[langa209]

@bvojo For correction that's South African. strong Zulu boy. No we dont come here for free given benefits, we see what u dont see. U dont know that being American gives shit, just a birth certificate. We come here and we see these business oportunities have u work for us, and we buy property and have u rent from us, then u say we stupid hahaha look who is stupid. then when we retire we go back home and live like queens with social security benefits on top of that since we have been payin taxes

[bvojo]

Lets Hope you have everything in your life

love ,wealth ,happiness lets not hate each other jesus said we must love one another did,nt understand when you said being American gives shit what did you mean by that if i may ask ?abatwana akatesi avalaleli

[langa209]

@bvojo Aids my ass, it was sent to africa by first world blue eyed devils to kill all africans, unfortunately we are too many to kill. we got our land back look at south africa under balck man rule is booming baby look at the infrastructure. Come to my world. Africa rocks

[Fabrel93Kibondzi]

Bvojo, your asshole, you stupid in the whole head or what!? even if you come from a country where there is war, and so does not necessarily mean that it is not proud of their country fucking asshole, people like you makes the world seem so bad!

[bvojo]

Then why are you not staying there sunshine? Africa is good you say but they is an exodus of the people why are you coming to the west because the west is the best get over here and will do the rest

[bvojo]

@kaboyo what are you proud of ,i hear it,s aids ,poverty,war and hunger there sonny

[spinkie99]

@bvojo why waste time with ignorant people like u just want to tell u there s no place like Africa its so addictive no matter wat!

[bvojo]

then why are your folking to the first world countries musoja i love africa then bloody stay there okay bwana

[theBornAfrican]

@bvojo

you are just a skull fucked, dumb arse, brainwashed bell-end.

you shut the fuck up. Africa itself is pride. Years of unfair treatment by your so-called firstworld countries, and Africa still is out there competing with you lot. LOTS TO BE PROUD OF AND ABOUT BEING AFRICAN. you just remain in your retarded self while the world moves on. you sad thing.

[bvojo]

You see politeness is the order of the day no need to swear like that you uncivilized baboon .If you are proud of being african why are you flocking to the first world then

baboon is it because hunger ,aids and poverty

[IvoniceAstrid]

[416ZuluGirl]

You Kill the songs with all the negativity.

I'm home sick and you are ruining a beautiful experience for me.

[Deweah]

[kulka09]

@416ZuluGirl

Brenda is great, ive been once in South Africa and when I heard first time this music on some disco, I had to buy this CD from DJ :) I like it from this time even after years.

[msayofemi1]

@416ZuluGirl i know its such a shame,mishap,and dissapoint ment that she died :( eveyr one be only makin tings worse

[69erthx1138]

@416ZuluGirl I told one of my dear friends from Kenya that if God spoke with language, it would sound like Swahili.

[kakrikasupu]

@69erthx1138 i guess it does,..

she sing swahili,.. lugha tamu<33

[girly476]

I LUV U...mabrrr all the way from Malaysia

[digi14mon]

She may be gone for good but her soul will live with the African continent for ever

[NuruSheikh]

apart from the unquestionable talent brenda had (she still sends shivers down my spine), i think she was a kind of consolation to all of us.Her beautifull voice,her charisma + character combined with her lyrics....well,she still makes my eyes watery....now even more cause it reminds me she is no more!u still give me hopes brenda,console my heart n give me will to move on...n not just to servive...but to live!love u always! *i realise that brenda mightve played diff roles in ppl's lives...peace!!

[moroboy77]

Hey Kipuli, where im from (Tanzania) we say sogea not songea which is probably why msamiG interpreted that way...she might be from TZ too. When i went Kenya they said songea though...over here songea is a name of a town :-) love Brenda Fassie!

[justiceallways]

in congo is sokea

[kouayep0]

je suis du cameroun, i'm proud to be african.

[ginacoolbabe]

swahili oweee!! pple rip

[MsamiG]

sogea nikupambe, sogea nikubusu...lol, i love this song, and the swahili in it, hehehehe, truly African...no more arguing, all Africans are Africans.

[krimsonsun10]

The Core of African culture is all the same. I have travelled to 17 different countries on this Great Continent of Ours and many others around the world, and i know that certain things are paramount. The respect of elders, Mothers, grandparents, the open minds and beautiful smiles. Considering that 2000 or so hominids from the Rift valley in Eastern africa repopulated the World after the Eruption of the Toba Volcano that obliterated almost all life on the planet.

[sheymud]

I love this woman. RIP Bree. Love from Zimbabwe <3

[guracha200]

songea nikupambe, songea nikubusu!

[guracha200]

this is truly African. love this woman!

[chimbeva]

umm ill say this we are all africans true but us southern africans are different from the west africans and those in the east zimbabwe , southafrica botswana , namibia has some common languages and cultures intonations so on we are definately not like the west africans in any way im sorry but its true we are not at all like the northern africans but we are all africans

[toughkittyy]

thats your opinion but i'll just like to point out that i'm nigerian, i have ghanaian, sierra-leonean and cameroonian friends and even tho we all have our different cultures, we have pretty much the same intonation and theres a common adulterated form of english that we all happen to speak....so does that mean we are not like u?the key word here i think is we are all from the same continent.....obviously there has to be some difference from coast to coast....

[smmbh1]

chimbeva, i disagree with u, i believe west and southern africans behave alike. im from nigeria, true son of the ibo tribe, i grew in south africa, worked in the mines in different provinces in south africa, speak zulu and africaans fluently, and never associated with my fellow nigerians because of their illegal activities in south africa, i love south africa and take it as my second home. brenda was my idol and will always remain...we are all one....greetings from new zealand

[okellookello]

i agree i'm from one of the smallest countries in africa (uganda)- i think we should begin looking at africa as a united country and not different states!

[toughkittyy]

uumm, africa is a CONTINENT not a country....

[MrLenny2012]

oh this jam rocks dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[inkosigood]
