[efebrahim]

the only thing I understand is nakupenda which is I love you in swahiili!

why swahili?

[Maradufu1]

@efebrahim you are right. Its Swahili. Boney M are actually singing in Swahili though not doing the right pronunciation. The song was originally composed and sung by Fadhili Williams, in 1950s. Fadhili was Kenyan not Tanzanian.

[efebrahim]

@Maradufu1 thanks cool I will check ut out

[efebrahim]

@Maradufu1 Btw it is a trad. right?

[Maradufu1]

Not really @efebrahim its a love song. 'Malaika' is angel; so nakupenda malaika means I love you angel. It's a song worth playing even today. I personally like the original version and Mirriam Makeba version as well.

[feabtis]

@ChavisMade malaika means angel and the song is a man singing to a woman named malaika and hes saying i should have married you malaika. says i love you and what to do etc

[MuKirinyaga]

Good cover version of this Kenyan classic... problem is, they 'massacred' the lyrics... Some of the words, they are 'meaningless' in this version.

[mseeds1]

Boney M was one of the pioneers among all the then music group worldwide. Not only me all in my age get nostalgic listening to these songs.

[7ataner]

[alexandru1946]

doamne ce frumoase sunt!!!

[diabolusek9]

FAJNE.



[afreeka10]

the one to be honored for this song is the original composer FADHILI WILLIAMS from KENYA.

[lb3269]

@afreeka10 But, you also have to understand that Fadhili Williams is not popular in the international scene.You might as will thanks to BONEY M. for bringing this music to the world.Besides, BONEY M. are not Kenyan, don't expectect them to enunciate Swahili dialect like their native tongue. Make sense pls!

[SuperMaxdaniel]

whether swahili or swalihi or no swahili, the song is like the balms of Gilead. it can heal your broken hearted, just listen and enjoy.

[binesta]

The guy's got moves!



[tonyyuda]

swahili is from tanzania have you guys ever go to school? Im' so proud of them nice song.

[sultanabdura]

@tonyyuda SHAME ON YOU!!! GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND ASK YOUR HISTORY TEACHER WHERE KISWAHILI ORIGINATED FROM

[simbakafiri]

@tonyyuda it's not from tanzania...it started in kenya and spread along the eastern coast

[Vagalume1949]

Congratulaciones por la (sussinta) traducion.

[ingimotomovement]

this is good, but Miriam Makeba KILLS this song... if your listening to this you got to check her out

[dinyar65]

[earthmoonmars]

Idont care what anyone say! but I GREW UP WITH THIS IN THE LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S!!! ITS AWSOME AND NRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES WITH GOOD FRIENDS!! AND THE TOP IT OFF I LET SOME 10'ZZZ AND 20 SOMME'S LISTEN TO IT AND TO MY BIGEST SURPRISE THEY LOVED IT!!!WOW SEREOUSLY IT WAS SOMETHING I HAVE NOT EXPECTED,OR LEAST EXPECTED!!!

[Rodrigueskaren]

right



[sbirinzibir]

@earthmoonmars today's music is so shitty that youngster MUST search for something really good back in the past

[khalidm102]

Not their fault but some of the pronounciations of the swahili words are terrible eg they are pronouncing 'Penda' as 'pende' etc but being German its not their fault.

[princette]

@khalidm102 Actually they were all West Indian, Marcia and Liz were Jamaican, Maizie was from Montserrat, all spoke English as a first language. Bobby was from Aruba (Dutch, but the people there largely spoke English too). It was just the songs were mostly written by Germans and had ESOL lyrix. Of course being big stars in Germany they had to live there, but their music was aimed mostly at the English speaking world. This song is off a 1981 album, at which time they were past their prime

[AthaBeat]

@adellaida33 there's no land like Tanzania, there's no land like the one i got.

[sh4wtii3ROCKS]

[471176]

[geodales]

@sekky123. You are absolutely right. cos i keep thanking my dad for these songs

[minamadi]

I remember listening to their tape in my dad's car years and years ago, I always loved the tumes!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[Ariyadharma]

my memory song on the beach pulau bidadari.

[Emeka7777]

I love this song. I am a Nigeria but I have always thought they were speaking German. But I am happy it is an African Language. Meanwhile they did not borrow from Arabic but the other way round

[AthaBeat]

@Emeka7777 ummm.. you re from Nigeria and you clearly don't know the history of Swahili. It is an African language that started as a result of trade between Arabs and the locals of the East African coast, way before the arrival of Europeans. After, European arrival, they kept on borrowing more words from Portuguese, German & English. It also has words from Hindi and Persian. It is the only African language spoken in the AU. And it is the fastest growing African language followed by Hausa.

[adellaida33]

@AthaBeat there is no land like sweetzzland, there is no land like the one I gut!

[bebemangabelldcsdyg]

oooh the pronounciation...mhm mhm. But beautiful .

[Kissinpoika]

malaika, nakupelle, malaika

[tackytastic]

I dont mean to be rude, but who gives a fuck what language its sung in ??

It sounds nice, and Boney M sound awesome singing it.

THE END

[jahkey2001]

the original song by Kenyan--Fadhili William

[jahkey2001]

Well, Boney M tried. ...

Malaika is Swahili word for  Angel...

[binlargin2]

malaika? is that not greek for arsehole? shame on you boney m

[Dido225]

@binlargin2 No Malaika is african arabic means Angels

[tackytastic]

@binlargin2 - LOL

[naijanistan]

@nasry12 UNITY. IF YOU R TRULY FROM NIGERIA AS YOU'D CLAIMED, SWAHILI IS NOT A SPOKEN LANGUAGE IN NIGERIA AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE IN MOSTLY WEST AFRICA.

HOWEVER, IN SOUTH AFRICA APARTHEID ERA, THE afrikaans FORMULATED THEIR OWN LANGUAGE THAT HAS ZERO ZULU INFLUENCE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE INSIDE AFRICA. THE AFRICANS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT HAULING INSULTS AT EACH OTHER. I HOPE WITH THIS EXPLANATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT I'M NOT MAD AT ALL. THX BRODA.

[naijanistan]

@nasry12 IT IS MUCH BIGGER IN SIZE AND ALL. NOW, WHY DIDN'T AFRICAN LANGUAGES ESPECIALLY OF THOSE NATIONS AT THE PROXIMITY OF THE ARAB NATIONS HAVE INFLUENCE ON THE ARABIC LANGUAGE? IN ORDER WORDS, HOW MANY WORDS OF ANY AFRICAN LANGUAGES ARE THERE IN ARABIC? ANSWER IS ZERO. NOW THAT I'M SUGGESTING THAT AFRICA SHOULD HAVE A LANGUAGE THAT IS ALL AFRICAN, WITHOUT SUGGESTION OF ANY PARTICULAR LANGUAGE, I'M BEING ATTACKED & CALLED ALL KINDS OF NAMES WHICH IS OK. I'M JUST INTERESTED IN AFRICAN FORGING

[naijanistan]

@nasry12 GO BACK AGAIN AND READ MY COMMENT. I NEVER MENTIONED THAT SWAHILI WAS NOT AN AFRICAN LANGUAGE. I STATED, ONCE AGAIN THAT IF AFRICA AS A CONTINENT DECIDE TO HAVE A UNIFIED, OFFICIAL LANGUAGE, THAT I, NAIJANISTAN WILL NOT SUPPORT SWAHILI LANGUAGE BECAUSE OF ITS ARABIC INFLUENCE. PERIOD. I SUGGESTED THAT THE LANGUAGE BE IT FROM NORTH,SOUTH, EAST OR WEST WITH ZERO FOREIGN INFLUENCE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.

LET'S LOOK AT THE SIZE AND THE POPULATION OF AFRICA. COMPARED TO THE ARAB NATIONS,

[pwanyonyi]

@naijanistan: a characteristic of successful languages is their ability to absorb, integrate and grow. Hence the many Grek and Latin terms in English. Hence the every-diminishing role of French. Kiswahili is ok - it has absorbed the influences of many languages, and will continue to do so. Kiswahili kitukuzwe!

[naijanistan]

@pwanyonyi AND HOW MANY WORDS OF AFRICAN LANGUAGES DO YOU HAVE IN THOSE LANGUAGES OF THE PEOPLES THAT YOU HAVE JUST MENTIONED? ZERO. WHY DIDN'T THEY ABSORB AT LEAST ONE WORD OUT OF MANY LANGUAGES IN AFRICA? ARE YOU SAYING THAT IT IS OK FOR AFRICANS TO ALWAYS ABSORB THINGS OF OTHERS, AND OTHERS NOT TO ABSORB THINGS OF AFRICANS? I HOPE THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE IMPLYING.

[inalilahi]

suweto version also great scene

[sekky123]

i hate having the same taste of music as my parents but damn they listen to some nice songs. looks like the old days were thedays for music

[Lorisic]

Hahahaha. My kids would say the same but they loved Boney M when they were growing up. Good stuff.

my favorite band, when I listened and I was 9 years old and my sisters started to have a boyfriend, that those years when everything was innocent for me as I come back to those years have not made the mistakes I make this day.

[ashwinkga]

[kreddenac]

Sjajno,prekrasno...neponovljiv­o.

[djcrookz]

This Kiswahili Song was Sung by Fadhili Williams a Kenyan in 1960's he went on to win accolades all over the world for his sweet infectious swahili love tunes.

Did Boney M pay for royalties?? or we Match demonstrating for Reparations?

[SIKONGE]

@djcrookz Not true. This was written by a Tanzania who was living in Arusha Tanzania. The song was true story in 80's when i was living in Arusha, i used to hear about this Lady "bibi Malaika". The Man went to Kenya and he was in the same group with Fadhil Williams. When he left Kenya and stoped playing music, he never wanted to talk about this song. He wanted to marry his Cousin (popular in Muslims but from Aunt side) but parents refused cause the man was Poor.

[dictaphone1]

That's right; Malaika or Malaa’ikah is an Arabic (plural) word for Angels!

[goretgg]

ma dad loved this song♥

[Honasek]

pure hitmakers

[tokapi]

malaika ~ in malay = malaikat = angel... original word from arab i think, mala-ikah....

[MrElmaadi]

@tokapi Malaika IS (angels) in arabic langug .

[oldpiq]

Malajkat? Wojciech?

[branko2710]

[MrTheLawance]

Terrific!I kike their dress

[JensPNeumann]

Just found out Liz Mitchell was former member of Les Humphries Singers and also did this song with them.

[detrac78]

I've just found Boney M, and find the music awesome...but they didn't write these songs. At least half of them didn't even sing them. They were the puppets of the svingali that made Milli Vanilli



[collette333]

SOOOOO VERY SWEET

[thehappyhippyo0]

whats with the turbans?

[pahprd]

@thehappyhippyo0 Maybe it is a tribute to the songs writer - who is from Kenya, in Africa. The title word Malaika means angle in both Swahili and Arabic.

[bowlerfreak]

you have to understand though... Boney M. isn't from East Africa... they are doing well to sing in that language I think!

[sandra5028]

is it Myriam Makeba's song ? they also song it very well, just love this song. thanks for posting

[ivanszemjondeath]

Oh Mama! The KIngs!
