There is so much soul in his voice. Listening to his album again after years. Brings back so many memories. They don't write songs like him anymore. I freaking need a new album from him.
but lyrically there has been no one better... his lyrics are more inspirational than anythign i have ever come across... and this song brings a tear to my eye still... so long after hearing it for the first time...
i got to know her story i think she still stay alive inside of us. some day i have to go to Africa to help people who are dying of hunger. so now i want to get strong power and much knowleedge.
She was still named after Fatimah binte Rasoolilah , the last Phrophet Only Daughter she was also nicknamed Syeda and Fatima-Zehra but Rest In Peace to the Fatima he sings about in this song
Saw Knaan at folk fest 2019, man the crowds energy was so different when he was performing. He slowed fatima so much more, and that version was so beautiful it was pure bliss.
Woooow the great man calling out you for you go get him Fatima I love the story you are smart and suddenly you be the greatest man childhood love I appreciate ya all big respect
We love you knaan Abdi warsame you are the best song write I got love for you from ethopia south africa kenya Tanzania Sudan Egypt Nigeria jabuti Eritrea
I am crying so much watching this. So powerful and emotional. I love K'naans music. I've heard this song many times and enjoyed it but watching him play this was heartbreaking. Most beautiful flow sound love compassion memories.
he is seriously my uncle my mum's second cousin my mum just told me and I can't believe this he's soooo good at singing. I know people won't believe me but I never told you to just want to comment he's wonderful
"I wrought this song in celebration of her spirit, rather then in morning. It's an important distinction." The message of his lyrics is so grate, that we can overcome any trouble, no matter how hard.
K'naan and Freddie Mercury are my two favourite artists of all time, and they are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum... Freddie admitted hi songs - with some exceptions - werent overly original... but he sung them with the best voice any person has ever been gifted with... a huge range, perfect tone and an absolute power house... i cant help but smile and sing and dance like freddie when listening to him... Knaan would admit he's not the greatest vocalist of all time... (cont)
i've heard this song i think like 2010 , 2 years after i graduated high school. I just now found out it was a bout a person he knew, RIP this has always been my favorite song by him behind Wavin' Flag
i cn see ur not on the way.farah si a name of a person but in nowadays young soamlis mean as an illiterate person hope u get me so knaan never deserves da shit names
Picture the morning taste and devour We rise early pace up the hour Streets is bustling hustling their heart out You can't have the sweet with no sour Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower We came out precisely the hour Clouds disappear the sun shows the power No chance of a probable shower I fell in love with my neighbors daughter I wanted to protect and support her Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter I had dreams beyond our border. Is it true when they say all you need is just love, Is it true What about those who have loved Only to find that it's taken away And why do they say that the children have rights to be free To be free What about those who I've known Whose memory still lives inside of me. Fatima, What did the Young Man say Before he stole you away On that fateful day Fatima Fatima, Did he know your name Or the plans we made, To go to New York City, Fatima And after school we studied the lessons I ask God to slow down the seconds He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing I better chill and count my own blessings Fatima, Fatima what is the matter How come you ain't come up the ladder So we can be like there's no tomorrow Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow She spoke Arabic and Swahili She'd say Upendo (Swahili for love) Anta Habibi (Arabic for, you are my love, dearest friend) You so bright, you shine like my TV Then one day she never came to meet me Is it true when they say all you need is just love, Is it true What about those who have loved Only to find that it's taken away And why do they say that the children have rights to be free To be free What about those who I've known Whose memory still lives inside of me.

My husband has played this song in our house for years, but it is until right now that I know the meaning behind it. RIP Fatima.

I spoke arabic n swahili n really i luv uh k'naan
but lyrically there has been no one better... his lyrics are more inspirational than anythign i have ever come across... and this song brings a tear to my eye still... so long after hearing it for the first time...
I love K'naan's music so much, but this song always hits different. I would like to think that I can feel the depth of it's importance.

Picture the morning taste and devour
We rise early pace up the hour
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out
You can't have the sweet with no sour
Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower
We came out precisely the hour
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power
No chance of a probable shower
I fell in love with my neighbors daughter
I wanted to protect and support her
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter
I had dreams beyond our border.
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.
Fatima,
What did the Young Man say
Before he stole you away
On that fateful day Fatima
Fatima,
Did he know your name
Or the plans we made,
To go to New York City, Fatima
And after school we studied the lessons
I ask God to slow down the seconds
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing
I better chill and count my own blessings
Fatima, Fatima what is the matter
How come you ain't come up the ladder
So we can be like there's no tomorrow
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow
She spoke Arabic and Swahili
She'd say Upendo (Swahili for love)
Anta Habibi (Arabic for, you are my love, dearest friend)
You so bright, you shine like my TV
Then one day she never came to meet me
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.
Fatima,
What did the Young Man say
Before he stole you away
On that fateful day Fatima
Fatima,
Did he know your name
Or the plans we made,
To go to New York City, Fatima [Repeats]
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder
How come everyone hushed when she walked by
How come girls would look just to scold her
How come the angel wanted to hold her?
Fatima, Fatima I'm in America
I make rhymes and I make them delicate
You would have liked the parks in Connecticut
You would have said I'm working too hard again.
Damn you shooter, Damn you the building
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling
Damn you Country so good at killing
Damn you feeling, for persevering
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
Is it true
What about those who have loved
Only to find that it's taken away
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
To be free
What about those who I've known
Whose memory still lives inside of me.
Fatima,
What did the Gun Man Say
Before he took you away on that fateful day
Fatima
Did he know your name, or the plans we made
To go to New York City
Fatima
Now I just want to make it clear, I don't want you to shed a tear.
Because this here, is a celebration,
We're not mourning,
We're celebrating
Yeah
So baby don't cry,
Please don't let the tears fall
So don't cry
I love this
Love this
nice song for sure
Know the song and it's lyrics, never knew the story.
real love&real story i liked
good song
big crazy fan of it bro k'naan from cayaal madiino x
