just in case i wont be here nomore in 2050 going forward just know that i was born 1992 and today is 17 April 2024, this is one of my favorite songs of the late Legend Tuku
I'm Ghanaian. I don't understand the words. But this was one of my favourite songs back in varsity over a decade ago. It shattered my cold Canadian winter with the rhythmic warmth of Africa. Still listening in 2019
this is one inspiring song, I left Zim for greener pastures in SA, and left my two babies aged 8 and 7...alas God has seen me through it all; varsity is just two years away for the eldest. Shanda mwana...shanda nesimba !! #singlemumdiaries!!! never lose focus
I remember when I was 10years, my mom used to play Oliver Mtukudzi a lot, I love almost all his songs and this is one of my favourite, it’s 02:59am, in the UK and I am listening to this song❤️🥰 still hits hard and it’s 2023❤️🥰
@@owenbanda5517 He is saying l will for my family . Basa rangu kufara basa rangu kufadza varume ,basa rangu kuimba My job is to sing and to make you happy . Shanda mwana , shanda nesimba Work child , work hard Tired of typing lol
First heard of this song in 2002 when I was 13. Fell in love with Tuku music which put more respect to Zim name in my heart. Being a Molobedu from SA, I say RIP my king. 21 years later here I am still searching for you music on TH-cam, let's keep the legacy going
God this song is breaking my heart and making me wanna cry, i feel the struggles of all the zimbabwean parents working hard to send their children to study overseas. Shandai nesimba guys and lets make em proud
I am a 20year old now, as I type this text. I am currently doing my studies abroad in the USA, listening to this track everyday just makes me feel at home once more, the fusion of the instruments and the vocals is more than I can understand. Now that I am away from mother I get to appreciate why she says to me, "mfana Tuku iLegend usadherere." Thank You.
The song is about the craft of the musical artist. He is singing about how his chosen profession - as an entertainer - is often perceived as being less respectable than other professions, yet the joy received by his audiences is equivalent to the joy experienced by recipients of the hard work of other professionals. When he talks about hard work, he is talking about how his calling is to use his talents and gifts to provide for himself and his family and that it brings many ultimate fulfillment.
Thanks for clarifying the message in the song. Just loved the sound, arrangement, melody of the song without understanding a word of the language. Since then an unqualified Tuku fan. Good music touches the heart without appealing to cognition.
Indeed. 'Munendinangara meti ijee?."...singing in his Korekore dialect of the Shona language....'You watch me perform and you think I am fooling around/doing something insignificant/not so serious?" This is a rhetorical question to which the answer, which Tuku does not directly give us is that when an artist is performing, he needs to be taken seriously because art is hard work like any other. He then goes on to explain the point in his own art and encourages all of us to work hard... vintage Tuku, a national philosopher...gone too soon! If only his son Sam had lived!
Tuku was a great musician world over,let's keep on working hard while we are asking for God's blessings. Rest well the African legend Dr Oliver Tuku Mtukudzi. We shall meet one day in God's kingdom ❤
Baingana Peter the language is called kore kore(Shona) he is saying we should all respect each other's professions and careers because they not only are important to us but to our families as well !
Guys reading all this comments and listerning to shanda . always makes me emotional and thnking abt evrythng ive worked so far i really understand what tuku really mean. my people we knw our cntry zim and da struggle but lets work wth all our strength. shanda mwana shanda nesimba
Rest in peace sir, you have been entertaining me since I was a baby and you'll be entertaining me till I die. Maybe we sing together in heavens choir😭😭😭
If you got through the pandemic you must be 24 and most likely a working adult now, this song will now speak to you more, than it ever did. Hope it inspires you the more.
I don't understand a single word in the song but can feel every single iota of the music running in one and all of the veins of the African animal in me. The phrasing of the guitar solo is simply a killer! Long live Tuku music!!!
In one of his interviews he was asked what he would like to do with his life. He replied "I haven't decided yet what I want to do with my life" 3 years later he checked out of the earth. What a humble way of saying music is my life.
Yes Sir. This is a masterpiece with the very best; besting the best of them - Sadao Watanabe, Earl Glugh, Groover Washington, etc from heart of Africa. Oliver I am proud to have you as my African brother. Yes Sir! Every chord from your guiter throbs through my veins. I love you man.
My father used to play this when we were young, l miss those good old days, where you be just a kid mom and dad is there, and everything else makes sense, until comes a certain time and you grow up reality strikes and you would sing another Tuku's song again dai ndakaramba ndiri were, yeah that's being a grown up for you
You lived a life of a legend...you lived to serve the people...you are respected...May the Almighty remember all the great things you did and exalt you to his eternal home
The Greatest Zimbabwean Musical lengend ever, has passed on...May his soul rest in eternal peace. I hope he sings to the angels i heaven...you'll be greatly missed, but never forgotten. We will always love you Tuku.
I remember some time back when this man had live performance in Zambia, Baba vakainda kuno zvi onera vega .... We have those pics here in Lusaka with TUKU, I have even missed daddy, he died in 2001 three years after that live performance you gave us in the 90s eyyy.... Now you are gone too rufu ndi madzongonyedze
@@fidelismatiashe4979 chorus: You looked at me with an eye of jealous, why?? Women in background: (Work hard my son work hard......) Verse I work for my family, I work to make a living, my work is to be happy, my work is to dance, my work is to sing and my work is to make you happy.....
On top of the scale. Hot and exceptional. This is a classic piece from the Legend. Those fingers strum the guitar with prowess. Shanda mwana. I know i may not get to listen to another great as this Son of Africa but am happy still. All is well. Rock in the heavens brother
The Legend himself Oliver Tuku Mtukudzi love the beat the guitar 🎸 the words so inspirin wat a talented humble man ...wil forever remembered too late fo me wanted to invite u on my wedding day so sad that u ar nomore😭😭😭no one can replace u yo music 🎶 was awesome inspiring the 🎸 how u played it eish forever love yo music haipere kunakidza frm generation to generation wil forever love yo music
Listened to this song as a kid without understanding the message but now as adult it hits different especially with life being so hard nowadayz. RIP Tuku🕊🕊🙏🏿
A man I regard in high esteem on the musical front. His uniqueness; his ability to adapt and collaborate with other artistes across the globe made him a force to be reckoned with. Rest in peace Sir Oliver
Does anyone know who played the piano or keyboard on this track? I've always been a guitarist, but bowed my head in the deepest respect to pianists/keyboard ists who give our art it's soul.
this man is legendary than r kelly .his lyrical content ohh i only wish if u understand and he does it song after song plus with more than 60 albums on his belt .talking of music genius
Oliver died 3 months after I first saw him perform in Limpopo, it was my first time seeing him, we drove there 4 of my friends, one of my friends died of complications due to a car accident, it happened the last Saturday before hard lockdown in march 2020, we never visited him in hospital, he died in June 2020, another was shot and killed in a botched highjacking. Unbelievable
the title means work. its just saying work hard and he is saying he works to survive , to sing; make us happy with his music etc. so just encouraging hard work to all :)
Thank you for the response. It makes his music so much more meaningful if I have an idea of what he is doing. I loved his other song Raki before I got the translation, but now it means even more to me! Thanks!
Yooooo. He is a South AFRICAN LEGEND TOOO..... ILL ALWAYS HAVE HIS PIC IN MY EYES PERFOMING AT JAZZ FESTIVALS.....THIS IS MY LOVE, MY DAD, MY INSPIRATION. LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF MTUKUDZI LONG LIVE
Rest in peace father of nation we will remember you in the and the world father. your dreams came true and had lived on it, youself soo Mugabe out of his regime and we stil live with hope that that president would give a peace por zimbabwe freedom and free we think into that the new president will take carfully controly ever solder and and every people going to feel how is good to be zimbabwean people. peace peace and peace for your soul Mtukusi.

This is sung in his native (Kore Kore) a Shona dialect. "Munendinangara muneti ijee seiko?" You look at me when I sing and perfom and think it's just a joke. Let's learn to respect other people's jobs generally is the message.
Whenever l listening to this song it makes me miss you Dr Tuku and l also my Daddy keep on resting in peace makatisiya tiri tega tichanyaradzwa nani koo😭
Tuku music will live forever, musician of a life time we've go there. I have been looking for his song which goes like, "Kushanda nesimba, hazvigumiri ipapo....pepukai,,,ngwarai,,,,hazvigumiri ipapo......" Anyone with the corrrect song title so that i better my search.

This song makes me emotional. Its 23:32, studying for exams, a bit demotivated, but i HAVE to make it
Hope you passed!
lets make Zimbabwe great again.
He was supposed to sing at my wedding... Rest In Peace Samanyanga. Sometimes it is hard to believe you are gone.

Basa rangu kutamba varume
My job is to sing
Basa rangu kuyimba

This is sung in his native (Kore Kore) a Shona dialect. "Munendinangara muneti ijee seiko?" You look at me when I sing and perfom and think it's just a joke. Let's learn to respect other people's jobs generally is the message.
This song reminds of driving to Gutu with my family!!!!!! i love it!!! thanks!!!
Didn't have to say too many word, but the 🎶🎶🎶 speaks for itself 2021 #rip legend

Tuku music will live forever, musician of a life time we've go there. I have been looking for his song which goes like, "Kushanda nesimba, hazvigumiri ipapo....pepukai,,,ngwarai,,,,hazvigumiri ipapo......" Anyone with the corrrect song title so that i better my search.
