Just not the ones who made the music. The song was written for Miriam Makeba and this version isnt even good. There is not feel in it, misses the groove
The lyrics are just fantastic. I like how the first verse sets it up. The excitement and naivete of being 16, the belief in a fantasy and the excitement of your heart beating for believing in fiction. Then the second verse is the reality, the inability to breathe from your heart breaking and the maturity that comes with age. That "when you're 16, you are not aware you don't know the world."
Iyo verse ya kwanza ina nipa chills..delivery vile inafeel iko unhinged nka aneza lift off the ground ju ya feels haha, imeweza. Rewatch all Elani's videos and let the adverts play to the end. That's the least we can all do to this great talented group.
Gosh! Someone just retweeted when I posted this song back in 2014 and it's truly brought memories. I hope my ex appreciates the album I remember getting as a freebie at Alliance ... Weuh! Memories!
I have watched this video and listened to this song at least 12 times and it gets better with every view... I have nothing in my vast English repertoire to quantify the amount of beauty in this one piece of music. To say it is perfect is a massive understatement. To say that I love it would be to undermine it. I believe the closest phrase to describe what I feel would be "I am in love with it"
And if I was asked to listen to one song for the rest of my life this would definitely be a consideration... Such a timeless masterpiece Elani come back 😩
I don't understand why this song has not reached even 1 milion views for over half a decade? Kweli uchawi upo, njooni Tanzania Diamond awape uchawi wake mtoboe warembo. Nyie Ni wakali saana.
2019 anyone... imagine i went to mombasa listening to this song thinking i will find the love of my life there but i was dissapointed i didnt find anyone just drinking coconut water and rice all along
i love love Elani i listen with my friends here in Newzealand though they dont understand it they love your music....love you guys globally all the best guys #God bless you
the lyrics makes me feel like great,elani are so blessed,their voices are soft.they shud go international and present africa motherland. #BillionWonderfullVoices
This is my favourite one from them...this is basically soft rock..and the way the tune changes on the verses then slows down on the chorus with their sweet soft vocals and harmony....Heavenly..love yall...for them to go international though..they gone have to kill that swahili ....xfm should have this one on a regular spin 100

How does this masterpiece not have more likes, but then again not everyone has Good taste
The lyrics are just fantastic. I like how the first verse sets it up. The excitement and naivete of being 16, the belief in a fantasy and the excitement of your heart beating for believing in fiction.

Reminiscing...this song takes me back. We need more songs like this in 2019
Am bringing them back😉😉😃, sooon
Still jamming out to this in 2024 ❤
The value of this song is priceless...
Im still wondering how I'll Jam it in my Old Days 📅
Hapo zamani when I was in form3 this came out
Who's helping me ride this nostalgic train 🙌
Talk about a music video that is in total sync with the song.
Gosh, it feels like a movie.
2023 and Elani is still one of my best bands in Kenya.
That change of rhythm gives me goosebumps,this is true music.....2018 anyone!
It’s 2022 and this song is still a vibe 🤩
I agree.
I'll never get enough of this jam...Its August 2024.
5 years down the line and I still feel like these guys have the most beautiful voices 😢❤❤much love
I love this song so much. Funny how my friends here in the states always go, "is that done in Kenya?" Always asking me to replay and translate. Lol.
same .they keep telling me to translate
Ciru Wanjii my coworkers in the US think they're South African, I don't like that.
@@wnalikka I've always wondered what happens to kenyan music in the states, we listen to theirs, so do they enjoy listening to ours?
Iyo verse ya kwanza ina nipa chills..delivery vile inafeel iko unhinged nka aneza lift off the ground ju ya feels haha, imeweza.
Rewatch all Elani's videos and let the adverts play to the end. That's the least we can all do to this great talented group.
waaah take me back!
Its 2023 still on my hit list ......I still love ELANi😘😘😘😘😘😘
To say the truth this song will never get old❤❤❤❤
It's 2023. I still love the guitar instrumentals. It only gets better.
Gosh! Someone just retweeted when I posted this song back in 2014 and it's truly brought memories. I hope my ex appreciates the album I remember getting as a freebie at Alliance ... Weuh! Memories!
2023 and it is still a banger
2023; this song ages like fine wine.

ukiambiwa wapendwa waamini, ukipendwa huna imani...food for thought.
Huna imani
haswaaa, wengi tunapenda maneno matamu japo Mara nyingi huwa bila matendo yanayolandana na maneno hayo.
@@jessicakibacha3320 kabisa tunafaa kupenda tkimaanisha ......Kama vile tutapendana
Joseph Ngetha ni kweli usemalo, lakini ni wangapi wanaona thamani ya mapenzi ya kweli, zaidi tunafall for the 'sweet tongued'
the lyrics makes me feel like great,elani are so blessed,their voices are soft.they shud go international and present africa motherland.
#BillionWonderfullVoices
