Wow so beautiful I’m from Zimbabwe look white but have black great grandparents. This music is speaking to my soul, calling me back to my mother land . I can even smell the beautiful soil,it’s time
Something so beautiful about mbira. Nhamo yataoneswa nevanhu ava shuwa our culture is disappearing because no one has time to think about preservation when they are just trying to survive RIP Chiwoneso
One of my favorite Zimbabwean songs of all time. The balance of Shona and English all mixed within a perfect rhythm of the mbira blended harmoniously with the melodic yet mournful and powerful voice, alongside a deep bass guiter mixed perfectly with a rhythm guiter, and in-tempo drumbeat, this is art at it's highest form. R.I.P Chiwoniso, you were a light indeed.
We lost a jewel when you left us Chichi, am still to find a female artist out of Zimbabwe to match or surpass your level. My favourates from you: 1. Ivai nesu 2. Wandirasa 3. Tamari
Ndakambo pengeswa ne album iri ndiriku college around 2005-2006. After listening again during corona lockdown, i understand why i fell in love with Chiwoniso
At times we never heal, it is what it is, to give too much only to get too little, been there, you can never get better though you can try hard to move on.
am here listening from the Carribean and this music is making me feel more connected to my culture and my identity chiwoniso was in a class of her own and she went too soon🕊🕊🕊🕊
Versatile is the word, Mbira the instrument being a living instrument. Speaks to the unspoken, to very core of the soul. A heritage to treasure... One of my favourite tunes.
16/6/2022 am here listening to this. Just remembered i meet her along girls high school gates back then coming from xul damn she was beautiful and yes i said hie she replied. ❤️

this song reminds of my late mom who used to play jams on Saturdays whilst doing laundry under an avocado tree.
😪very sorry ummh!! No one can replce the love of mum
Hama yangu
im sorry bro
Something about you baby
Has touched me deep inside
I can't explain it to you
No matter how much I try to stay away
I know that it's in vain
I shall never be the same
You know we run around in circles
Pretending it ain't true
Yet I know everything I've ever wanted is in you
You turn away and tell me that it's a lie
Ahh, I keep wondering why
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo-o
Now I know this is not so much to ask for
But once in a while could I have some time
To simply tell you what I'm here for
Mmm, release my mind
If I could dream of you, it would be easier
But sleep evades me every night
I'm wondering whether or not you love her
I can't keep up this fight
Ahh, you tell me, "Baby stay with me
Help me make it through"
And I think baby, baby, can't you see
How much I love you
I, I, now I could never leave you even if I wanted to
You know I've told you so before
So, if I cry it's only because
I don't know what to do
Oh oh ooh
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo
Ahh ah ah ah
The nights we shared together
Were hidden from the day
In certain places, certain words could never be said
I, I look at the summer stars in the skies and wonder why
It feels like July, oh oh
And now we find ourselves
Having gone too deep to turn back
Oh darling help me heal this
Widening crack in my heart
Only now it's too far
'Cause I knew what it was from the start
But ooh it hurts my heart
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo, wandirasa
Wandirasa, wandirasa-a, wandirasawo
Ah ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha, ah a a a
Ah ha ha ha, ah ha ha ha, ah a a a

Great song most us can relate.
Beautiful painful song, thanks for the lyrics
Thank you for taking the time to share the lyrics ❤
Beautiful song
I'm Jamaican now living in the United States. Love her music.
Whole lot better than most of these hip hop or R and B. So sad she left us so soon.❤️
This woman was ahead of her time. This is the music that speaks to the Zimbabwean soul. I'm proud to be Shona.
Wow so beautiful I’m from Zimbabwe look white but have black great grandparents. This music is speaking to my soul, calling me back to my mother land . I can even smell the beautiful soil,it’s time
What a sad loss...painful
😢 who is here 2024 . Nostalgia this song 🎵 is very emotional
Am here
Am here
April 2021 missing my mum who used to listen to this beautiful, pure music 🎶
Wandirasawo😭 you are greatly missed.
Something so beautiful about mbira. Nhamo yataoneswa nevanhu ava shuwa our culture is disappearing because no one has time to think about preservation when they are just trying to survive
RIP Chiwoneso
2022 im still listening....RIP legend
Miss you Chiwoniso ..my mbira Queen forever..... Powerful!!
One of my favorite Zimbabwean songs of all time. The balance of Shona and English all mixed within a perfect rhythm of the mbira blended harmoniously with the melodic yet mournful and powerful voice, alongside a deep bass guiter mixed perfectly with a rhythm guiter, and in-tempo drumbeat, this is art at it's highest form. R.I.P Chiwoniso, you were a light indeed.
Yah yah legendary she the only female Zimbabwean artist I can listen to
RIP Chi. Down and out, thru the darkest phase of my life but this is so uplifting
I can hear the perfected guitar chords of Andy Brown resonating as the purest mbira of Chioniso echoes.
i felt tht too. Two great musicians who left before time 💔
We lost a jewel when you left us Chichi, am still to find a female artist out of Zimbabwe to match or surpass your level.
My favourates from you:
1. Ivai nesu
2. Wandirasa
3. Tamari
My favorite female artist of all time. I miss you July 2021
One of the best albums to ever come out of Zimbabwe

Till infinite❤❤❤
Ndakambo pengeswa ne album iri ndiriku college around 2005-2006. After listening again during corona lockdown, i understand why i fell in love with Chiwoniso
Listened to this song over and over again after my first heart break... he broke me 14 years ago, till today I carry this scar in my heart
You really need to let go
At times we never heal, it is what it is, to give too much only to get too little, been there, you can never get better though you can try hard to move on.
Scar will remain forever, I think it has to do with refocusing that experience to some positive stuff.
My primary music teacher at i school i went to in Zambia would always play this song at concerts. I have nothing but good memories from this song.😊
Gone too soon Chiwo, what an amazing talent
still keep coming back to this beautiful masterpiece
Eish this song has been with me all year I’m struggling
Bless You Chiwoniso! To a splendid heaven! Peace!
