I am a pharmacist and i approve. I just love this dude's composure. Here in SA we can relate a lot to his views on our socioeconomic problems. Most people want an escape from the bad cards we were dealt from birth, but most from our choices we land in dark places...prisons, rehabs and etc. Die grootmaan is relevant
This song has healing properties thats why it belongs to pharmacy. Lets take it to million views and God bless whoever is watching it and I wish you all the best in your life.
I promised my Mom that will change her situation one day and this song makes me believe that I can be something in life, with the help of God. Thank you Sjava.
In a nutshell he is asking for love and wisdom. Since many ate asking for money and power. He is also warning as well that we must remember that one day we will be ancestors to our families
While others are asking for money power and riches,he is asking for wisdom ,love and respect,he also said, wealth without knowledge is nothing,the power of a waetlthy man is useless when he doesn't have love
Sadly I lost my brother straight after he said I must download this EP, I remember he kept saying boy please listen to umcebo, them two weeks after Lovin this jam he was found in his room hanging , hanged himself, ey it's deep because we are lost and no one is coming to save besides ourselves. Spiritually we need to hear such music to keep us copying. Dankie Sjava ,
stay strong. be proud of admitting this. Admitting that you're lost is the first step of finding your path. May your brother rest in power and may you gain more strength and courage.
Translation of Lyrics. Father (God) when they ask from You, they ask for power and riches, but i ask for love and wisdom. Riches in the hands of a man without love cause jealousy and hatred, lives are lost. Power in the hands of a foolish man is dangerous, he uses it (power) wrongly, and lives are lost. Give me an everlasting blessing, because earthly blessings will remain on earth. Life does end in the grave, dont forget there's an after life. Father give me a heart that accepts, so that i may be able to face the situations that come my way. In some parts, meaning is almost lost in translation isintu asitolikwa ❤😂
True tho. Eish... This is deep. Power is distructive in the hands of a madman. We forget that great power comes with greater responsibility. Responsibility to not abuse your power rather use it to empower and enable the unfortunate around you and become a solution not a problem. We forget that one day, we ll also die leaving a legacy we build and the education we imprinted on those we left. Will they curse or praise ur name depends on your deeds while walking this world while on borrowed time. How petty and futile are materilistic mentalities. Toiling on this earth for worldy riches and yet how you got them or used them was never proper and yet ur consideration where it matters_ the afterlife is terrible. Worldy riches
here is translation: Father when people ask you they ask for power and wealth , Im asking for love and wisdom. Wealth in the hands of a man without love leads to jealousy and hatred and end up taking lives. Power in the hands of unwise man, results to misuse and abuse of power and a loss of lives. Worldy possessions will be left behind. Life does not end in the grave, remember you are still gonna be an ancestor to your family. Father I ask for a content and accepting heart to be able to face life challenges
This hit song has an elements of spiritual healing , psychological liberation, ancestral initiation processes and it symbolizes the importance of wisdom and love compared to materialism and masculinity ... inliziyo eyamukelayo🖤
Looked up who was singing on the song “seasons” from the Black panther soundtrack. Then looked up this dudes songs. I don’t know what he’s sayin but I’m a black American musician and I know when people have a mastery of “melody” regardless the language or culture. This man’s ability to construct perfect melodies over chord changes is a gift.
I had goosebumps throughout the entire song and had to hold back tears. It is such a beautiful piece of art-it goes straight to ones core. Sjava here you go💐💜
When I was a child, I read that when God asked young Solomon what he desired, he responded in a similar manner and because of how profound and well thought his wish was, God gave him arguably, one of the greatest kingdoms to rule. I remember saying myself, this is what I desire in my life. The ironic thing about knowledge and wisdom is, pain and hardship are almost always a prerequisite. Thus, this spiritual jam rekindles those long forgotten feelings and emotions that that young boy felt when he read about Solomon. Ay bhuti, you made so proud of my humble background and I am now reminded to pay attention to the lessons it has taught me - as broke as I may be. I just wish to be as wise as those that were before me. Bhungane!!
Good to see that you came out unscathed from that whole ordeal that almost destroyed your reputation so that you will continue to give us healing with your songs🙏🏾
Wow I can’t even begin to explain how spiritual and healing this song and the visuals are just on another level . The type of art that deserves more recognition. Sjava is a chosen one ❤️🙏🏾🐐🐐🐐
MARA WE MUST PROTECT SJAVA AT ALL COST ...Phela it's damn near impossible to find actual talent in the South African music landscape. Let alone find someone this authentic. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Everytime I listen to this, I get a healing from lands far beyond us. It somehow connects me to a higher spiritual power that I haven't felt or tapped into before.
There is just something about Sjava's aura,,, he can present you real issues we facing as people in simply zulu but yet be so meticulous and marvelous with his presentation. Great story telling. Most of us can relate to one or two examples in our lives and create our virtual stories associated with his lyrics. No matter where u from as long as u can understand his vernacular. Been following him since he dropped ekuseni. His close association of his music with his life coming up and social analysis on daily life is utterly brilliant. Also drawing inspiration from his life when coming up is astronomical. Earth shaking footsteps that shall inprint forever on the sand like those legedary giant dinosaurs. I have absolutely no idea on your life experiences that gave you this massive wisdom and probably would barely understand. But, I salute you my sir
POWERFUL video addressing social ills. Thank you for using your influence to speak on real life issues 🙏🏿 Shout to the Director, Luthando Sigubudu. Amazing.
My fellow artist in Makhanda wanted his raps to be interpreted to sign language... I thought it was difficult to merge the rhymes, I now see this is actually possible.
@@2010mrRite such humbling words... thank you so much, my hope is that all this work makes sense some other day. I highly appreciate the acknowledgement 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Eish remind me of my Ex (Lelo) 😭😭😭we used to listen to this beautiful song wherever we going through some crazy shit ......PRETORIA CENTRAL (Visagie Court)
The fact that He put on the unknown director and Media house then went on to credit everyone who took part on the video says a lot. I can not even start on the scenes of the video, let alone the music. Pure genius.
Ubuciko ❤️ The fact that you didn't use sex to sell in this sex driven industry makes this video even more special. We'll be able to enjoy the song with all members of the family, regardless of their age.
I am totally surprised that this song is no-way near 1M views. I have already replayed it almost 100 times and I am sure that is the same for many of the over 400 comments people have put up and so I feel something is not right. This is the best song at the moment out there. Maybe the uplifting vibrations is not what this channel wants as the figures are very shocking. However nothing can stop shinning Stars, which is what the lovely people on this beautiful uplifting track are.🙏🏿🖤🙏🏿🤜🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
that scene when the hungry looking kid is probably reaching his hands out to plead for food and all he gets is a syringe for vaccine, it perfectly demonstrate what is happening to the poor people of this country.
Ok you know what....it's official,Sjava is my most fav musician in the world. I don't even understand Zulu! That's how deep this is. 🙏 God bless you with more of the same Sjava.
2024 still listening to the song??

I’m a black American and don’t understand anything that’s being said but I feel it. Ive downloaded so many of his songs

Mhmm mhmm mhmm wish u understood every word
You got African blood that's it's his music is flowing automatically 🎉

South Africans don't just sing my brother. Our singing is spiritual. That why even the world is starting to notice.

that scene when the hungry looking kid is probably reaching his hands out to plead for food and all he gets is a syringe for vaccine, it perfectly demonstrate what is happening to the poor people of this country.
It's actually drugs, cause in the next scene he's become a hardened criminal. But I could be wrong, it all comes down to interpretation
@@fumbaniphiri517 I also think it's drugs. Instead of giving him bread, that person just gave him drugs. That set him down a wrong path of life😩
I go with drugs not vaccine... read the lines and the video carefully..
This is great Sjava, probably my favourite song by you.
Kuyangijabulisa ukubona nokuzwa lengoma imunandi besefuthi nezithombe zayo zihambiselane nokuculwayo Kuperfect kamnandi.
Im obsessed with this guy. Wish I could find his albums on vinyl.
