Keby sa dalo počítať aj kliknutie na tento link, určite by vzrástol aspoň o dve nuly. Neskutočne milujem túto pieseň, je to nádherná pieseň a slová sú veľmi citlivé. Posielam vám všetkým lásku zo Slovenska.

If could count a click on this link, it would certainly have increased by at least two zeros. Unbelievably I love this song, it's a beautiful song and words are very sensitive. I send you all the love of Slovakia.

[naranjayazul]

Translation of ‘Nda’: (Kinkongo/ Kindibu) “Go, have a good trip, I will never forget the words of my mother. Go, every country has his own reality, don’t be scared just go. Go, have a good trip, I will never forget the words of my mother. Go, every country has his own reality, don’t be scared just go. (Lingala)

[ntee006]

@naranjayazul thx,but the lyrics where can i find them?

[naranjayazul]

Hermosa canción. Me imagino que la letra debe ser igual que la melodia. Ojala pudiera tener la traduccion al menos en ingles.

[TraciLynneMusic]

Love, peace, harmony- all necessary in today's age. We are all brothers and sisters cut from the same cloth that drapes this world of ours, and music is our international language. No words need translating. They are beautiful in the way they were written- the heart and passion heard here can be related in any nation, or any tongue. Thank you for your vision- and sharing this awesomeness to the rest of the world. (Sorry for the lack of a better term, but I think Awesomeness rounds it up well.)

[boresch]

Sooooo, Schöööööööön. Nice

[comeridemybike]

simply amazing !!!

[rm641]

Nda

Jason Tamba wrote this beautiful song over the course of his journey from Congo to South Africa. It was inspired by his mother's parting words and advice to him as he left home.

[anonym0us94]

@rm641 what does nda mean? and wat language is it?? :)

[rm641]

Love you guys, beautiful voice and amazing energy. Thanks for coming to Utah(Park City). I enjoy every minute of the show. When I hear this song it brought tears to my eyes. Reminds me when I left Brazil in 1990. My Mother said the same words Nda(go)..Love you...

[alineriodasostras]

Doce, triste, harmônico, solene, acústico, lágrima na voz.. PERFEITO!

[37000731]

Soooooo beautiful!

[rithas777]

The power and the message that these guys deliver is something goverments can only dream of. Beautiful people with beautiful music. These guys remind us that there`s still hope. Thanks for posting *****

[RicardoEmilioCN]

Me encanta como suenan las guitarras.

[josuphoto19]

Truly beautiful. Can you tell us what this song is all about?

[Yafreddywanga]

Good work guys i'm really proud of you. Keep spreading those positives energy through your songs.

Matondo

[larashishya]

So beautiful. I find myself listening to, and watching, this one over and over.

[akeakami2]

beautiful...like the music of angels...wish i could understand the lyrics...hats off to them...

[chymara]

I don't understand the lyrics, but such is the power of the music that I am still moved. Absolutely beautiful. This just shows that language isn't really such a barrier after all - music does unite us all.

[robertbd0404]

A great job!!! Perfect performance!!! Respect guys!!!

[yauguru]

World class! these guys could play with anyone. Musically and artistically they are on top of the world. I take my hat off before such incredible talent. One might not understand the words, but that's the beauty of music, it transcends languages, it doesn't matter if we don't understand, we know they feel every single word that comes out of their mouths. Very few people in this planet are blessed with such an incredible ability to touch others. seeing this, gives me hope for the human race.

[FaTCatInzbuff]

Tastefully done!

[Lenny8797]

Это просто СУПЕРРРРРРРРР)))))))))))))))))­))

[dominicanhop1]

what it mean?

[rm641]

@dominicanhop1 When they came to Park City (Utah) Jason who wrote this song said that when he left his home town his mother said (Nda) Go, God bless you..

[dominicanhop1]

@rm641 Thaks!!

[xanglat]

Très jolie ballade emplie de joie de vivre !

Guitare perlée à souhait ! Belle voix...

J'ai grand plaisir à découvrir ce chant empli d'émotion !

Beautiful !

Thank you very much for posting

[kyleesindahood]

I love not knowing what they're saying

[silliepooh]

Talents undiscovered and pure beauty that these men have. The voice and guitar harmonies, all so soothing. I can just close my eyes and let my imaginations take me away. I'm glad they are given a chance to be here and show us all even a small voice, or a few notes would bring into this world. Really touched my heart, brought me into tears.

[huhomaboavontade2009]

is beautiful, is humble, it's simple but it is rude, it is clear and simply a work of art in the music world ... Congratulations guys!

[thingthingarthur]

this is such a melodious song, if only i knew the meaning. will somebody please translate the lyrics? I'm sure it means equally touching as it sounds.thanks

[shantee4]

Le guitariste qui chante est un ami de longue date,avec qui on était à l'internat au Bas-Congo( une province dela R.D.Congo). Le soir toujours avec son guitare,il chantait des belles chansons inedites. Le revoir encore sur cet image,les souvenirs remontent d'un passé lointain. Keep going Jason Tamba my friend!!!

Magnifique!!!!

j'ai été frustré aussi de ne pas comprendre les paroles, mais j'ai un ami congolais héhé!!

voici donc les lyrics, pour le plaisir de tous:

-Nda, kendeke malamu

Nakobosana té, mateya ya mama

Nda, zalaka mayele

Nzambe akotiya loboko.

[leboot74]

sachant que le premier paragraphe est chanté en Kikongo une des 4 langues nationales. la suite est est la traduction du premier paragraphe, en Lingala, la langue dominante.

en français:

Nda, part bien ( bon voyage)

je n'oublierai pas les conseils de maman,

Nda, soit sage,et dieu posera sa main ( sur toi).

Merci aux artistes et à l'asso pour tous ces plaisirs, vivement la encontre! et merci à J.Solenga pour la traduction!
