@davawills

Brenda was singing about the kidnappings and killings that happen in SA. She is saying that the people that have taken her have no mercy/pity. They have taken the victim and even if she cries out, it will make no difference.

Sad lyrics but a truely beautiful melody.

[davawills]

@xolib Thanks for the translation.

[davawills]

Can someone please TRANSLATE.

[TheLastYogurt]

@davawills Memeza means to shout or declare something in a sudden expression of emotion.

[davawills]

[gennyangel1]

listening to dz song,all i feel is tears..why do people like dz die?gosh.it hurts

[sethias94310]

Elle est géniale!!!



[Gozeski]

Very very sad piece, but sadly, it is reality. Brenda had a way of telling our reality beautifully in song - whether it was a joyous occasion like a wedding, a "coming of age" of a young man or a birth, or sad stories like this one, she just did it so very very well. I still miss my homegirl, the artist, the diva, the sweet girl next door, the mother, the woman!! Thanks for posting this.

[3cupcak]

@Gozeski hey if can you plizz tell me what she is sayin ..i love this song bt i dont andastand any word

[24ewak]

really love it. Thanks.



[83chantell]

no matter how loud i shout ,it is in vain .the heartless have found me and point me with guns and spears.....um standing with them my Lord

[TheFiyinfolu]

@83chantell is this the translation ,if it is thanks

[83chantell]

@TheFiyinfolu yes it is ,may her soul rest in eternal peace

[imelda4jesus]

@83chantell

Rest in Peace? Brenda soul is NOT resting in peace. She was not Born Again, if anything she died in her sins..ie drug overdose. Right now Brenda is in hell fire being tormented by the devil and his demons. I dont mean 2 be rude, just honest.

This life is just a journey to 2 destination. Heaven or Hell.

If we reject Jesus & live our lives in sin then we will end up in hell fire. Let us b realistic & remember that just like Brenda we ARE goin to die, let us prepare our souls.

[Nadel60]

@imelda4jesus You stated the obvious- the gospel truth.

[capitoukeys]

just before she died !

our mama africa we miss u rest in peace

[TheFiyinfolu]

[ziya139]

Oh nkosi yam!! Thanx 4 posting.Nothing like South Africa i'm telling u...

[nutorsam]

@ziya139 Benin in West Africa is moving fast to be a distant second.

[ogbemudiajp]

i just wish she were still alive, she could have blessed us with more powerful songs perhaps. i hope pelple learn from the only sad thing about her life,getting involved in drugs. see how it has affected us all.

[nutorsam]

South Africa has given us some really great musicians, but, Fassie, you are by far the greatest. Rest in perfect peace, knowing that you have done your best, and have enriched us.

[88motho]

Believe me

[aubifleure]

i love this women...she is an African legend....

[ucheHapers]

wish some one cld translate her songs , brenda is popular in nigeria

[SafferAbroad]

@ucheHapers I'm not a natural Zulu/Xhosa speaker but I understand enough. I think what she's saying is: "They found me, the one's without a conscious/regret, they point guns at me. Even if I scream it doesn't help, it's just me and them" She says the same sentence over and over. Memeza means scream or voice depending on the context.

Hope this helps. Please somebody correct it, I think it's about 90-95% correct.

Lala nge xolo, Brenda

[ziya139]

@SafferAbroad Correct translation.Not word by word but, still correct...: )

[ucheHapers]

@SafferAbroad thanks alot

[Plions22]

@83henryk

one of her old song but not that old, released in 1998/9, or earlier, we all know she passed away in 2004, she is still singing with the angels where she is...

[amiechib]

@83henryk actually its a very old song from around the time she released "kenang Bohle" so that would be around 1999-2001
