  • I loved these smiling faces from the first to hear;-) super song!

  • Is that the worlds greatest overtone at 1:17, 1:18, and 1:28? Good job from Los Angeles

  • absolute brilliance

  • That's beautiful. Ndumiso in particular has such a great quality to his voice. I'd love to have a whole album of him singing lullabies that I could fall asleep to. :)

  • beautiful !

  • fantastic fantastic fantastic!

  • amazing voices , bravo !!!!

  • amazing voices , bravo !!!!

  • <3 it! Wonderful vocals:)

  • :] I'm singing this in choir... We definitely don't sound this amazing. XD I love this so much. ^-^ It gives me hope for the world... (I know, overly dramatic. But it's true!)

  • @daniphantom911

    of course ur choir does the drakensberg is the best i have heard so far, believe me , and above all u do brilliantly well without girls,

  • @stanphoenix The Drakensberg chorus are the best I've heard perform this song so far, too! :] Probably the best I'll ever hear!

    And then our choir isn't doing so well, mainly because it's a beginning choir class. :] And heyyy! That's not true! XP Check out the Takarazuka Revue- they put on brilliant performances, and they're all female. :]

  • @daniphantom911 If you can't find hope for the world in little things like this, then there's just no hope at all, so I'm with you. :)

  • Wow, this is beautiful! They should have done the soundtrack for Invictus!! I would be so lucky to have the chance to see them perform live someday, inspiring!!

  • I guessSouth africans in diaspora can easily sponsor such event if serious campain is made in time to raise funds.There is time and more events in the near future.These young guys are great!I was not only proud of our athletes but also the strong swimming team(and the rest).Thanks for the response!

  • @URALLKUNTS,I am surprised where u got all ur "facts" from.Most of these kids have not yet hit puberty.That little white boy would not be more than 10yrs.How do they know that they are gay?They are only showing the world some of the beautiful part of the African society.I guess Pavarotti would be guessing where the future world renowned tenor would come from.

  • @Beesahili Well said but you must realise "URALLKUNTS" is not worth responding to. It has nothing worth reading. One can immediately delete anything from that channel and not miss a thing.

  • @Beesahili Such terms and understanding them such as gay and homosexuality can still be known. At their age, they may not know a whole lot about sex, but they would at least be borderline to having erections. Not many really just know they are gay. That's because someone who is gay won't notice. Some who aren't self conscious might commit a homosexual act without noticing the presence of a heterosexual act. Confession, like criminology, is important because not everything is what it seems.

  • @mojo9o If you ask me, anyone can be homosexual. What divides people are the ones who desire specific tastes and the one's who are rejected kindness. Being gay isn't all about your preference of gender. There are others who may not be gay only because people ask too much from them to be gay. THEN OVER THAT, they may still learn their own ways of being gay, if they allowed it. The demand from female's and male's changes the desire and power of sexual orientation.

  • Yes, they're showing us something beautiful. Homosexuality. It's hard to explain when a lot of people have hard time getting whom they desire most. Then, it somewhat becomes a number of people. The one's who have trouble having just one lover, may become more upset to find his or her crush likes many guys, as in being acquainted with so many people loving him or her. Patience conquers everything. If one finds another who is very patient, they are lucky. Patience

  • I wished these boys would sing to support the springbok especially against All blacks.We virtually had any support at the commonwealth games.They would have made Maori dancing look more like little girls in tutus at ballet.The boys can sing & dance like real men.

  • @Beesahili It is very expensive for a group like them to travel Internationally so I guess they couldn't make it to India. I believe they may have performed at the World Cup though.

  • that is a good sound

    

  • wow that little boy voice is powerful

  • @URALLKUNTS you are a selective reader, you only read what suits you take a look at the big picture you talk about discrimination at first and now you change your story, I can only say this to you be kind and do onto others that you will like them to do to you., and by the way look at your own comments as they reflect back on who you really are God Bless

  • Comment removed

  • @biouce89  Cheers LOL

  • @URALLKUNTS does that mean you can say gay whites.??That is unjustified. Maybe you should go live in South Africa to discover and see what is really going on, because both blacks and whites are guilty of discrimination.It is not about discrimination anymore but suffering, words cause harm and harm brings suffering, people need encouragement to make a difference. South Africa has got bigger problems than discrimination. God Bless

  • @URALLKUNTS you have got a lot of hatred and you need to be careful on how you approached people as comments like this one does not solve hatred it make it worse so try and be kind and help make a better world by not bad mouth black and white as we are all created by one GOD and therefor should all stand together in unity rather than name calling. Love is the answer and no matter of what co lour or race you are we stay all the same. God Bless and be kind.

  • @URALLKUNTS I'm the stupid one? really? -.-

    never mind...

  • @URALLKUNTS How stupid are you? These kids have nothing to do with apartheid. And you call them gay... Grow up.

  • @URALLKUNTS Yes, and you made it clear by insulting these young kids here.

    "well at least we know the white gay south afrikans have accepted blacks"

  • @URALLKUNTS I never said there wasnt racism. I was born in SA, the young generation is very different from their parents. Dont preach to me about my country we already know ther are problems, we dont need you to tell us.

  • @URALLKUNTS You've been there but you dont live there.

  • @URALLKUNTS I AM SO SAD THAT YOUR WORLD IS LIMITED BY YOUR APPARENT LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY THAT IS SOUTH AFRICA . THERE ARE MANY LANGUAGES IN SOUTH AFRICA ALL HAVE A PLACE  ALL DESERVE TO BE HEARD AND NO ONE IS DESERVING OF CRASS COMMENTS SUCH AS YOURS. I AM SURE THAT THE VOICES OF THE MANY WILL PUSH YOURS INTO INSIGNIFICENCE. REGUARDS OLDMAN

  • nothing to be said about theses performers execpt totaly awsome

  • these guys had to sing this wonderful song at the fifa world cup's opening and then shakira with her cover

  • This is awesome! Great voices, each of them - I loved the harmonies. Great song.

  • The soprano's voice is absolutely gorgeous! I am teaching elementary music right now, and I had the students listen to this clip so that the boys would understand to sing in their beautiful high voices. All of them loved this as well!

    Does anyone know the arrangement of this that they did?

  • awsome i heard this a couple nights ago at all county and we were looking for it for like 5 days and we finally found it. the song is awsome i luved every bit of the preformance. it was awsome! :)

  • what does the song mean in english?

  • Click on more info and read the comments.

  • ah ok ..thanks

  • It means: You are running away on those mountains, The train is coming out of South Africa.

  • @marcellin20a ...the song is saying that the train is chugging its way through the hills and mountains to South Africa.... Workers from Zimbabwe @ the turn of the century in the early 1900s would travel by train to come work in the mines. The original used to say Zimbabwe( former Rhodesia) instead of South Africa. Other workers also came from other neighbouring countries ie Swaziland,Botswana,Mozambique,­Lesotho,Malawi & even Namibia.

  • @marcellin20a It means to move forward and let the faster pass you.

  • Fantastic

  • wow!!! amazing!!! love the video!!!!

    we learned this at camp for a gumbooting part, but we clicked instead of saying "south"

    the soprano gave me shivers..

  • The song tells the story of a steam train leaving Rhodesia on the way to South Africa. It was originally sung by the mine workers from Zimbabwe on the train on the way to their jobs in the mines of the Johannesburg region.

  • Inspiring.

  • Bekkafly, would you print out the translation of the words.

  • Wow!

  • The uncredited tenor is Phelo Bala. Just a couple of months before the video was made I saw him perform solo in the Bach Easter and Ascension oratorios at "Music in the Mountains" - he is remarkable for one so young.

  • SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!

  • fantastic!!!i was priveliged to see these wonderful boys performing at their school 2 years ago when visiting South afica in 2006,i was so moved at their talent i was in tears....hope tp see them again ...jan, uk.

  • I think this is the world best choir!!!!

  • Can we download this as an mp3?

  • Get yourself a program like RealPlayer11 and then capture anything you are watching on the net. Then you can clip, rip, edit, convert, revert, burn or just about anything you can think of to it.

  • Thanks!
