I remember first time i heard this song, i was only 14. And now the boy is all grown up, i'm 20 now. Thank you Sjava for making relatable music. You and your atm brothers are going down with history.
I have to come clean, the first time i heard this song i almost cried. The references he uses to describe love are almost biblical: "Lungithathe lana, langi beka lana" ... Your love took me from here (nothing) and put me here (something).
Yeah the story is about the loving your pain through the pain and all the challenges hence the singer asks his lover to hold him through till sunshine. Beautiful story indeed
Im Nigerian, understand nothing but in love with the song and all other Sjava's songs, started listening to his music yesterday after seeing one of his tracks in the BLACK PANTHER'S sound track albulm now im in love with Sjava's songs, much LOVE Sjava much love gwaragwara dance! i will love to see gwaragwara dance in one of your music. haha. much love!
im from Zimbabwe dankie mfethu for being Afrocentric this song rili touches the core of the soul and invokes every positive feeling it truly hits the marrow
I get goosebumps when I read all your comments. Music is powerful. Truly, Sjava and Ruff will forever be engraved in the hearts of South Africans or in my heart at least. ❤🇿🇦
sjava is my favorite because his so authentic and his sound is super original. now thats a perfect representation of African sound. reminds me of lucky dude.
I Always listened to this song, but more 'cause of the voice and the melody, didn't know the meaning any word... now that I saw the video and the lyrics posted by someone, I almost cried... Am from Mozambique
I don't even need to understand his words for this song to make sense. As a black man I can relate. We might be in different countries in Africa but the shit we go through is the same. Love from Kenya.
If you've ever watched a drama called "When We Were Black" you will know this guy great music maan heard this song from my 17 year old nephew thankzzz Sjava great piece man
