please could someone give us what this song is all about? Just bit of translation of the main subject would do. Otherwise even if I do not understand the words, I enjoyed it very much.
@pauliyai This is about a man (the lead singer) who suspects that his wife is cheating on him with some guy called Kulenyane, a soldier with military boots that always leave a mark on the ground to and from his home , but his wife says that the suspect guy is her cousin but her parents don't know him! He says that he eats all his food and his children are left with nothing that's why they are so skinny! He goes on to say that if he ever catches him, he will clobber him to pulp! A gem of a song!
@27Rea hey i am studyin in the USA and I am a south african and i youtube searched this coz i miss southern music tho i am not from Botswana. this music is also famous in mzanzi
@williamu1 i wasnt baggin out the music . i was simply going off at some dickhead that said the music was shit u should have asked me before u go on an say i m ingnorant
i don't why you tell this music is not good.....this is not the music(because is first time that a listen) that i like and your metal music, yes,is not god, but anybody criticize........anybody criticize your music stile, so you have respect the people because anybody said for you listen this music and anybody put this for you, so if you don't like..see your metal music and don't criticize anybody before you luck for you!!!
culture spears,,love da way they dance though i dnt understand sestwna...kulenyani ma favorite,,this true some guys comes back to ua house when u r away.
Africa of the future should not be any other than that of the past; that same Africa in which Nature preserved the African.Certainly, Modernity has proved to be pollutive, destructive and colonial. What is Modernity? Cities and concrete buildings? Money in all its forms as well as its power to dominate, exploit and finally destroy both fauna and flora? Were the Pharaoh or Caesar not once considered modern, yet today they are said to be old and of the hated past? Modernity is an ILLUSION.
Kulenyane and Tinto! Ijooooo! bathong! kana fa o tswala matlho o bona Botswana... keledi e bo e itsheka!.... ke ipona kele ko Phalatswe ke lebile ko Ghetto!!
hum.. just because there have been no killing up there doesn't mean people are not Xenophobes.You have a much thinner skin then I thought you do lol!.There have been reports of xenophobic incidents those are well documented on the web,so look it up.blacks are the only one ppl who will excuse xenophobia but denounce racism.Examine your own bigotry.I love all black people but we need call BS when we see it.I know this post will disappear again lol! ppl translate random arguments into hatred lol!
If Botswana is xenophobic then there is no place on earth that is good because this country is just simply the best example there is left that is good and tolerant!
Surely you are not Tswana. If you are, you have lived abroad for a long time to the extent of forgetting basic Tswana spelling. Khalahadi - Trues tswana dont say that. So who are these Sani people. If you do hate them, it does not mean that every motswana hate them dude
are you really a motswana? the real batswanas that i know dont hate basarwa and i would have witnessed that as i lived in botswana for almost 19yrs. it is a peaceful country and i think you just love to create controversy unnecessarily!
This is just amazing talent without farce! I hope they come up with a sequel in which the cheating man is found and exposed to make this incredible story complete! Just beautiful!
I absolutely love these guys. I am an old white american history teacher(when I can actually find a job because I have a tendancy to tell both sides of history, good and bad). I laugh at this song all the time, its so funny. It would have even been funnier if the boot tracks he found and followed had een his and he did not realize it until the very end. Now that would have made laugh til I cried. I would love to see these guys in person, Music crosses all racial and cultural barriers, Sing on
u guys r so great,we realise how home is so great when we r only far away. I listean to this song every day when i go to work.anyone in the UK pls halla at me. i miss home like crazy
I lovw this piece, even though I do not speak the language, its vert easy to understand what the entire thing is about, becase they such a great job or it. What frustrates me is I have never been able to find the 2nd part, I wanna see the end, and see if I was right and that they were his own boot prints when he originally left his home. Does anyone know where I could find the complete video or at least the 2nd part?
lol! This song is about one guy that keep sneaking into his house when he's away...so he's certain his wife is cheating on him, because he always see some boot prints and recognises them as those of some guy called Kulenyane. There's no 2nd part.
Damn I was really hoping for a 2nd part. I have seen a few other videos and songs these guys did, and this one is the best. Even the dancing is great. I hope they see this and know they have at least 1 big fan in North Carolina, USA.
Magnificent performance. Great culture. Without our ancestral cultures we become slaves. Without our ancestral cultures we start having inferiority complex.
So true! I LOVE you for saying that, many of us take this for granted and let people come in and steal our culture, or define it for us, or we simply don't use or value our cultures. Very basic but intelligent comment you made, that majority of us seem not to understand yet.Instead we take our cultures for granted cuz we're so use to it.
Look at the way Michael Jackson was made to be ashamed of his Black identity, colour and AFRICAN HERITAGE. He was made to hate the shape of his large and flat NOSE, so he let them mutilate it! He was told his black coulour had to be destroyed, hence he bleached his SKIN! He threw away his African heritage and is now a wreck - he's worse than the Titanic that sank with all the GOLD inside it. Indeed, ancestors and African heritage must never be discarded because without them we become NOTHING.
GOD BLESS BOTSWANA NOT AMERICA, BOTSWANA IS TRUELY A BLESSED LAND INHABITED BY A PEACIFUL NATION,PROUND TO BE TSWANISH sorry MOTSWANA, me for the next president
What's a great song Batswana!'Na ke Mosotho. Batswana ke litsala tsa me. Ke na le ona mino ona othle. O kae Matsieng le Mokorwana? Ba tsentse e ione. Ha ba re fe hape phakela thleng batho.
hehe! ke tlhola ke utlwa batho ba bua ka kulenyane, I didn't even know gore it's name of the song. I thot ke leina la group. well all I can say is I can understand why this song was buzzing thearound the world. Ke utlwa gotwe they performed it somewhere in asia ba tsamaile le tautona?
so this guy is mad coz his wife is playing him with another guy. He is complaining that he is messing up his home and eating his food. if you ya watch closely there is part where the woman saves food for her lover and doesnt give the kids enough to eat. So they guy then says if he catches his wives lover he is going to beat the living daylights out of him!!!
wow...so the guy with the military boots is the culprit sleeping with the 'singers' wife. wow very powerfull. So what does 'kulanye mean'? I am thinking means foot marks. tracks...or land trespasssing.
Nnyaa le nna ke bona basetsana bao bale bantle tota yoo mosesane yo ke ene bogolo yoo ntshenyang thata, lona batho ke lona a kole lese go tlhola le re boraka go akgela ka sekgoa, pina e e reediwa fela ke Batswana baba itseng Setswana, gake bone go tlhokega gore le thlole le ntse lo choma!
This is a nice song. It shows the Tswana man in a way that is untypical. He actually cares for his promiscuous wife! Its true that Basadi are killing the nation. To stop HIV try controlling your women guys!
there is definately nothing wrong with those bellies.nna ka re gonngwe banna ba "setswana" lo rata fa le ka itshwarelelang teng.these gals are hhhhhhhot.sure thing
