  • Look, we say we are both married

    But there is the third one between us We say we have built a house and

    Have bore children,

    You continue to act like a boy

    Do you think its nice to think, you have a family

    While you run around with other women while I am around.

    Why are you making me laughter of my neighbors?

    You played me a lot. They are all surprised what is going on in this house

    ***to be continued 1 of 5***

  • I didnt know that it was going to be like this.

    (I didnt know), I didnt know.

    Why are you using me?

    (I didnt know) why are you making me laughter of my neighbors?

    (I didnt know) The father of my children (I didnt know)

    Why are you using me? Why are you using me?

    ***to be continued 2 of 5***

  • Always on Fridays, you come back from work, You come back home drunk and without money. When I ask you, you hit me. You have finished all parts of my bones in my body I am crying for my kids about what they are going to say What do they think? (What do you think they say?) The father of my children, my children When they see you drunk all the time We are always crying What is going on in this house? Oh I am getting out, I am getting out of this marriage **to be continued 3 of 5***
  • Tell me; tell me what is going on with the father of my children?

    What is going on? Forgive me (I didnt know) I am only crying

    For my babies (I didnt know) I am only crying for my children

    Forgive me. (I didnt know) what is happening? I didnt know.

    ***to be continued 4 of 5***

  • never did i know that love sometimes can be so ful of violence, i thought he loved me unconditionaly until the beatings started, but after 7 mnth i wnt to report him for abuse and he stoped, and at the end i left him, love does not mean beatings nor hurt or tears, i just love her songs, it make me strong, i achieved so much in life, although i do not understand what she is saying,i know what message she is conveying to us. thanks reb

    You make the neighbours laugh at me

    Oh father of my children

    On Friday when you left work

    You came home drunk without your pay

    When I ask you, you hit me,

    You have finished the bones in my body

  • wow very sad

  • wow what a powerfull voice

  • I live this song, but don't like seeing the video coz after all these years it brings back bad memories of my encounter of domestic violence! even though it wasn't this bad and only happened once, but the scars are so deep; i realised just by watching this video. we kids suffer more i guess! great work sis'Ribs.....

  • this is really touching,real and beautiful.

  • ooh that is too much, he straight chris-browned her ass! ouch

  • a lot of pple are being abused and killed under the roof. its so sad that most of the crime is committed by pple we knw inside the hm nt out side by strangers

    thank u rebbecca may God richly bless u

  • this video and song has touched me in my most sensitive inner most feelings truly she is great for such is the story of so many african mothers i know i went through exactly the same thing powerful message indeed

  • which album is this song from and what year was it released and is hamba juba the real tittle?

  • sorry,i found the information i was looking for...thank you for posting the video though, truly inspirational.

  • Thank you for the translation Mandlovu. I would also like to comment that when producing the video, it is important that the message that not even God expects us to honour our vows, when one of our partners is abusing us. Peace and love to all.

  • oh its u i have to thank for this beautiful music - u dont know how many pple u inspire - please post more!! And yes, God does not support domestic violence becoz He has ordered our husbands to treat us with love, patience, and in a nutshell, the same way Jesus treated his church - with love , empath and understanding!! God bless

  • The the next stanza "Last \friday u came back home drunk and with no more of your salary. And beat me up - u have finished all my bones - I cry for my kids - what has gone wrong ??

    Then the climax of the song "Hamba Juba - meaning fly away pigeon - they will save you where u are going. .." I am not even doing justice to this rich and beautiful Zulu language - but I want you to understand what she is saying. Enjoy

  • @mandlovu Thank yu 4 taking yur time to translate to us who do not undestand the meaning.. I love the song and the video, though I neva realy knew understood what she was saying up until now... It is a beautiful song indeed just as i had imagined it to mean..

  • @mandlovu awesome!

  • This song ius so sad - it says " look at it - we are two of us, married, but now there is a third person between us. We havebuilt a home together and kids together, but u continue a life of a young man, going after girls yet |I am here. U Why u making me a laughing stock of the neighbours? Why have you played with me like this?""

    Then the chorus: " I didn't know (bengingazi)"

    my limit is over but chek next message for more

  • Would be grateful for english translation also.

  • amen to that

  • can somebody please give the meaning of this song. it is quite moving, she is really talented.

  • She talks about her pain and suffering, her perseverance, and how she is now getting out of this marriage for the sake of her kids. Look on page one for translation by stanza

  • Women go thru so much for the sake of their children..God bless us while we try to give those same children a peaceful home to live in and to grow up with good morals.

  • heart breaking...can't help but cry!  Very strong message ue addressing here sis'Ribz

  • Thanx sis Rebecca for addressing the domestic violence issue. I hope all those wife beaters are watching and changing their ways

  • This song is real touching my heart, I wish to know the meaning.Please somebody transilate it for me.

  • She is singing about domestic violence - how she has been humiliated by her husbands cheating and how... he finishes all the money and then when she confronts him he beats her to a pulp. The most touching part is that she is crying more for her kids who have to witness this, and dont understand whats going on. She is saying if she had known it was going to be like this, she would have never married him....see next message for more.

  • It gave me goose bumps....Just leave him. My mate simply left she is awsomly happy now 2 years later.

  • I think that you have touuched African men's hearts. Now it is the time ofr us as proud men to change our actions towards our wives. Thanks for the song and may God increase your talent

  • This song really touched my heart, just to think there are some women who are still being abused... all I can do is pray that GOD give them strength to get out while they still can. I don't ever want to see myself in that situation. just reminds me of emzansi....

  • This really happens. Its a Friday 2day and most families won't sleep. Well Done Rebecca for addressing real issues

  • Glory to Jesus that a soul was won to christ through the song.

    Rebecca thanks.

    Thanks strawberrybabycakes for giving your life to Jesus. The challenge is for you to continue because what counts is the end. Paul tells Timothy, "Fight a good fight of faith... to please the master.Don't stop on the way, you know there's a reward.Jesus loves you.
