I'm in the same boat as you bro I love this song because it speaks of my family's life
I can relate💯
I always find myself crying listening to this song
As a teenager I used to love the song and hoped to have kids with one woman to avoid this type of plea unfortunately I ended up in the same situation and I'm still grateful for each of my kids and I'm always proud of them.

This song touches me , as I have 3 children from 2 different mothers.
RIP GRANDPA
Similar to this one🐘🐘🐘🐘
Listening to this master piece in 2024
have nothing much to say awesome track *tears*
This song talks about my life and the children i have from different mothers not that proud of it, its the life i lived with the job i had. Had my first twins with a Congo woman, send born with a Bemba woman, third with my Tonga wife from Southern province and fourth and last with Ngoni woman in Chipata Eastern Zambia. I have not seen my other children for years now because their mothers we never got along.......
You are a man
Have you tried to get in touch
You not seeing your own children has nothing to do with thier mothers not getting along, thats just your excuse. A woman cannot have the power to stop you from seeing or taking care of your own blood my brother. Please go and find them. Children are blessings. I come in peace. ❤❤❤
These were songs with teachings and great lessons in them, no WONDER they have stood taste of time
A very touching song. Full of teaching.
2021 AND THIS SONG IS STILL A HEAT
Hearts❤❤❤ to our parents that always taught us the way.
21/08/13- remains me of the day you passed mum.....I lost a friend, a mother 😔💔.the song remains me of you....the message just like you used to tell us. We miss you mother 😔
I will never stop playing this song until i die
Bana bandi abene Zambia muli temwana
This Song is as Beautiful as the Zambian people....God did something Special in us as a people!!! My prayer is for our country, each family, to take the Lyrics of this song & translate them into Daily Living!!!
I MISS MOM & DAD WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG.. RIP mom AND dad 💔❤️
