"Iza Ngomso" is the fourth movement of The Drop That Contained the Sea, and like the rest of the movements, is based on water in one of its unique naturally occuring states. In the case of "Iza Ngomso", a piece about clouds, the text is derived from an unusual translation of the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem "Kerabos": translated into Xhosa, one of the national languages of South Africa (and one of the African dialects that features prominent 'click' sounds).
"I wrote Iza Ngomso on an airplane, en route from Dubai to Johannesburg. I was inspired by the sight of the airplane's shadow skipping across the cloud layer." - Christopher Tin
Lyrics and Translation:
Imvula izawubuya ezulwini
(The rain will return to the cloud)
Umphungu uphinde ube imvula namafu
(The clouds bring down the rain)
Ndizawuqabela
(I will climb )
Apho amatafa nentsimi eluhlaza
(Where over fields and pastures green )
Izikhephe ezizotyiweyo zibhabha emoyeni
(The painted ships float high in the air)
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
(Like a bird I fly)
Ndibamba umoya
(I’m holding on to the wind )
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
(Like a bird I fly )
Ndibambelele ngamaphiko
(I’m holding on by my wings)
Iza ngomso
(Come tomorrow)
Kuzawubalela
(The rain will clear)
Makube ngomso
(May it be tomorrow)
Iyeza imini
(The day is coming)
Ndibhabha, ndidada emhlabeni wonke,
(I fly, I swim all over the lands)
Ndibamba umoya
(I’m holding on to the wind)
Phezukwe santizasendle,
(Over desert sands,)
Phezukwamalwandle namachibi
(over gulf and bay Like a bird )
Njengentaka ndiyabhabha,
(I fly Like a bird)
Njengentaka ndiyacula
(I sing)
Iza ngomso
(Come tomorrow)
Lizaw'balela
(The rain will clear)
Makube ngomso
(May it be tomorrow)

That soloist is my very talented grandson and was blessed with a beautiful voice.
He did a fabulous job. He really makes the song!
That soloist! My spine was tingling!! 🥰 the choir absolutely amazing
I agree
This is really beautiful and harmonious. I have listed to the original by Christopher Tin so many times, and I must say, even though you didn't use a full orchestra, it sounded lovely and unique. The drumming added a totally new and welcoming edge to it.
So innovative!! 👌👌
What an honour to sing such amazing music with amazing humans 💜
Thank you very much ♥
The soloist took us all to a special place bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@1:36 Those basses are absolutely killing it! Epic performance! You should do it again with a full orchestra. :)
@2:40 soloist and soprano killing it here. @3:44 was just a pitch perfect sayistifying ending
As usual with the CTYC, just lovely.
Since I discovered your videos where you sing Ukuthula,
I listen to them several times a day, just to calm my nerves, really.
While I weep and mourn for the Ukrainians in their plight,
I am having nightmares about the war expanding. The other night,
I dreamed that my group of soldiers (I am not a soldier,
just a middle aged woman in...disrepair, let's call it that)
had to move weapons to another group of soldiers
without being discovered. After four hour nights like that,
I use your hymns as Diazepam.
May God bless you guys.
Incrível!!

Maravilloso!!!
This was beautiful and powerful! I got goosebumps! Also it’s making me question what I’m doing with my life...
The power of music.
I have been singing since I was very young, in choirs and as a wedding
and funeral singer, while supporting myself on another job. Many years ago
a colleague said she didn't like classical music because it made her depressed.
Of course, music creates emotions, or, at least, brings them to the surface.
(I am probably not the only one crying to the second movement
of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto, for instance.)
I told my singing teacher what my colleague had said, and I am sad
that I can't remember his exact wording, but he said he believed
that music might make her depressed because life is not music,
that life is not as wonderful as music is. It changed my world view.
Amazing ! This should be seen and heard in a more popular manner.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful 💕.
AMAZING! 😍😍😍
Goosebumps!! 😍😍😍
