This song was my mom's prayer since I was a little girl, she suffered from acute asthma and later developed heart problems. Her prayer was that I get to the age of 12 and the Lord could take her. This year, a day before I turned 35, she passed on from heart failure. I thank God for allowing my mom to have lived 3-fold of what she had asked for from God. Though she had a poor quality of life due to her health, she was a brave heart who put up a fight right until her last breathe. I miss you mai vangu, my heart is broken, I don't know how to deal with you death.
Whoever uploaded this song by the time it qill reach 1 million views pliz help Paul matavire's family with some royalties pliz they are going thru rough times
There was blind man who used to live in Entumbane, Bulawayo, a friend both to Paul Matavire and my dad. His blindness was hereditary and his son, Ngoni, was blind too. One day akarohwa nemagetsi very badly, he was paralysed. I would go with my dad kunomuona and sometimes Paul Matavire would be there. The words that Matavire sang are those of the paralysed blind man who used to make a living out of weaving baskets at Jairos Jiri but now couldn't even wash himself. He wished he could survive until his son is able to fend for himself. However all the three, Baba Ngoni, Matavire and my dad have passed. May their souls rest in peace.

My grandmother raised me and my sister since Mom left when I was 5 months old. She used to play this song and hug us tight. I am glad she is still alive in my 25th year on earth. Thank you Gogo nekuti rera..
This song depicts a profound and sincere prayer expressed through the gift bestowed upon Paul by the same supreme being he is appealing to. A song which evokes strong emotions of sadness and in most cases has the effect or making tears unwittingly stream down one’s face when one ponders the profound message and/or is taken down memory lane of our dearly departed. This was an answered prayer for Paul Matavire who nearly died following a mysterious illness he suffered years before his actual death. In my view, this touching song is more about the child than it is about illness or death. Paul’s lyrical prowess in this song can be summarised as depicting despair, bitterness, acceptance of death as an inevitable fact of life whilst at the same time acknowledging, with awe, God’s supremeness. Despair: Various efforts he made and exhausted to try and recuperate from his illness but in vain. Bitterness: Leaving his young and vulnerable child behind Acceptance: Acknowledges death is inevitable hence he is not scared of dying but leaving behind his child is too ghastly to contemplate. God’s supremeness: “..mutorei imi mambo, mune simba rokuumba, munoputsa, munoraramisa mugouraya; ahh...” “Ahh” for me is an exclamation that acknowledges how much he is in awe of the Supreme being hence the plea to allow him to raise his child. This is one of the most touching songs where the artist sings from the heart to reflect on their personal situation. Examples of similar songs are: Kudakwashe (James Chimombe), Handina nharo (Leonard Dembo), Ndiridze mhere (System Tazvida), Zuva rekufa kwangu (John Chibadura) to mention just a few. Paul Matavire was so gifted and what is also striking about this song are the accompanying powerful melodies which fit very well with the sombre yet very profound carefully arranged prayer. A prayer which cuts accross generations and will never lose relevance. Rest in peace Paul Matavire. May we all take solace in knowing that no matter how hopeless your situation is, there is a Supreme being who answers our prayers.
Thanks for your efforts in explaining, please can you put the lyrics with translation , it will be a great pleasure to read the lyrics of this great song. TEW from Ethiopia
It is when a parent is Soo sick and feels that it's time to depart but just can't because she has a little one that is so young and still dependent on her. Handirambi meaning I'm not declining your call(death) but not now
It translates: Which hospital did l not go to,which prophet did l not go to,which medication did l not l not,cause my health is detoriating. Oh yes god l agree to be taken,but l have a request please let me live so my child could grow and be able to fend for himself,or take him before taking me ,in that way l will have peace knowing my child is in better place,who do l leave my child with, he's young and innocent. Look his mouth is dry,his hungry and lm dying,what will he eat,please god give me strength to provide for him,l agree to die but think of my child. There's only one thing that will close the Heaven door for me,it's my child
This song reminds me of my husband who passed away in 2009. His wish was to see our children grow and work. He felt his death and it was so painful. The lyrics penetrate with pain into my heart. R IP my beloved husband. Our children are doing great. You will always be missed
This song takes me back to 2002 when my father was very sick and we were too young to be left without a father figure i was 8 and my little bro was 2 There was no hope to life of my dady bt the last gift he did was to ask my most to go and have a civil wedding just to protect our house from cruel and heartless uncles. He passed on just one week after the wedding. My mom was able to protect our house and im so proud that my dady did this. I feel like he was in the same state of this song. I become so emotional wen im listing to this song Damn im even crying like now Love you FATHER ALWAYS HOPE TO C U AGAIN and tell hw proud iam
To my husband Martin ; babe continue resting in the loving arms of God. I miss you terribly. Life has not been the same since you grew wings . So much to say . 2 years later and l am.still heartbroken.
This song takes me back 2019 ,ooh my god ,ndakarwara zvekusvika pakusvika kudeedzwa nevafi but ndaiti ndikatarisa Vana vangu worse kadiki kaiva kadiki Kane gore ndakapedza 2019 kupinda 2020 corona ikati neni but nhasi uno ndiripano ndrikuteerera song iyi in love
This used to be my mother's prayer when she suffered a stroke 24 years ago and I was only 8 years old. Faithfuly God responded to her plea and healed her. . 24years later she's is growing strong and a grandmother to my children...
Still listening, October 2020...Being a single mum of my 2 girls, 14 and 8, this is my prayer everyday. Vanoita sei nhai ndikanzi ndafa? Dai Mwari vandichengeta at least ndigovasiyawo vapedza school. I look at them while they sleep and the thought of me dying breaks me. No child should bury his/her parent💔
My mum passed away when I was three years old all i hve are pictures of her but whenever I listen to this song I can hear her sing it just for me.....your story touched me so very much
I remember in 1989 on Sunday morning when the late Admire Taderera hosted an early morning show between 0600 and 0700 on then radio 3 and played this song not once, but twice in a row and then simply said something like, "hayaas" then ended the show. It made me realise how lucky we are sometimes to be raised by both parents until adultwood.
3 June '19 my beloved mom passed on..my heart is broken and i dont know how i'll ever heal and go on without her.She suffered from pancreatic cancer and fought bravely for 2 short months.i lost my best friend ,my pillar,my mom...i will not question God on why He allowed my mom to go so soon..it is well..i hope to see her on that great morning!!!!!!
sorry dear but in life we just need to pick up and keep moving, if you want more inspiration especially from nature, you may watch animal adventures, and you will see that God planted in us that ability to survive for as long as we have breath in spite of the very big losses we might have gone through.
This song was played on my way to work today , as a very young and new father , i was touched , and i have come to know that i must do whatever is within my power to live and see my son grow up , in terms of choices , i must make choices that must save me from that prayer ,like not acquire sicknesses that will make me say that prayer , and my prayer to God is good health so that i see my son grow,dai ndisina kuzvara handaimbotya makagara mati kunofiwa , suddenly , its more important to live , for my son , thus more important to make responsible choices.Thanks Paul , i was born after your limelight but ur message ndainzwa !
My father passed away when I was four. So his brothers took it upon themselves to see that we were taken care of.Im picturing them paroots listening to this song.Now they are late too...ooh shit these tears on my cheek I can't help it
This song hurts me,it makes me sob from within. I'm 22, not married, but already I feel like a vulnerable mother, how sad. We gotta appreciate our loved ones,our parents when we can,this song,too powerful, a parents infinite love.
Painful part of life dying leaving a child behind .. felt it when he said take him/her first that i follow for i know the plight of orphans .. God bless you all and your families
My prayer kuti Dai Mwari vangondichengeta ndikwanise kuchengeta mwana wangu kusvika ava kukwanisa kuzvimiririrawo hake. My wish is to see him excel and achieving his dreams. The most hurting part is my brothers havana moyo zvino ndikazonzi handichipo Mwana wangu anodii @single mothers diaries. Mwari this is my plea... inzwaiwo munamato wangu ... one thing i know is you are a Faithful God
2020... The song reminds me of my late mother. When we were young she would listen to the song and say to us. My kids I wish the day my lord takes lizobaselikhulile ngoba if he takes me now I won't rest in peace knowing that I left you young to suffer... Thank God she passed away 2017 wen we were all grown ups......
My mom used to tell me vaigara vachiridza song iyi vakatanga kurwara when l was one .Hanzi ndaingoti Mwari nditorei mwana wangu anyora form 4 akugona kuzvibikira sadza ega and her dream came true she passed on 01 March 2020 inini ndakanyora form 4 muna 2019 .Continue Resting in Peace mama will forever be in my 💓😢❤...
I can't hold back my tears its my first time listening to this song ,oooh nhamo dziwanikwa nenherera ,Dady I miss you ,I was only 4 when you left me 😢😭😭😢😢nenyasha ndakura.
this was also my mom's prayer when she became sick when l was 11, she would always listen to this song..she died that year when l was eleven,now l'm 21 years ten years after her death listening to the song crying as l now understand the meaning of her prayer
24 October 2023. Today is one of those days I miss home and my childhood. Tiri pa Povo pamurombedzi apo with my brothers nemuzukuru gogo vashaya tana sekuru vega dads in towns seing us once a year.
I remember listening to this song in 2016 then 2017 I got involved in a car accident now paraplegic (spinal cord injury )life yakangoma zvayo,now I have tried almost everything and to this song I relate😢😢😢
This song is so powerful because Paul matavire had faced the inevitable and could not dodge or run away from death 😢 life is too short and if you are faced with death and you are also a parent to an infant/children it’s extremely hard tablet to swallow. But as Paul puts it you just have to accept and pray for the best. I sang this song over and over the week I was diagnosed with cancer and my child was 3 years old then. Now she is 8 and I’m still praying 🙏🏾..... However every time I listen to this song I am reminded of how powerless we are and that we are on borrowed time, so I enjoy every moment with my child 😇
Though she is now late, this song makes me remember how far my mom would go to make sure that I am the man I am today. Who I really am now has nothing to do with what I could do for myself but rather her unconditional and unprecedented love
My mom died in 1995 and i was only 9. I totally understand this prayer from a parent from my experience growing and now even more now that i have my own son
My father listened to this song when my mom died 2009, it still gets to me till this day, takasiiwa vana 3 and my dad worked hard for us tikapedzisa chikoro tese izvezvi tatokura. I used to look at him listening to this song, even now l see his face from back then,, Mwari vane nyasha, nyasha dza Mwari dzakaoma.
This song remind me my father Dickson Munezi who died in 2002 after short illness in his last days he played this song continuous hatina kuziva kuti kwaiva kuwonwkana baba MHSRIP Later on my mother died in 2005 zororai murugare mhai she used to like John Chibadura song Zuva rekufa kwangu Rest In Peace Medes Mhinda Munezi love you forever
This song is Heavenly sent.Soul touching and inspiring at the same time.Now that i am a grown up man with 3 lovely kids & with God by my side,I will hustle till my last breath to see to it that my entire family continue enjoying the benefits of the Legacy i will leave for them.R.I.P Dad,You are my Hero even in death.🙏🙏🙏🇿🇲🇿🇲🌍🌍
All the way from Zambia in 2020 and am still loving this song. I never even got to know what it talks about but my Dad loved it so much.. Music that touches the soul. Any Zimbabwean who can please interpret it for me..
It talks about a man who was about to die but was afraid to leave behind his vulnerable child. Hence his request to God was for the child to at least die first and he can follow.

This song was a hit 1990-91 when i was very ill. I had a four month old baby and it really hit me to the core. it was as if it was written for me. I thank God im alive to tell the tale
I have listen to this song for more than 30 years. I am happy to get to know the meaning of it.It touches my heart so much, what can I say? I hope my children Yamikani, Kapumpe and Mwenzi, one day when they grow up could listen to this song. It relates to their mother's death when they were too young, Especially Mimi. Happy listening!!!
This song reminds me of my late mom .The feeling of seeing her in so much pain has stuck with me ,all my life..I was only 5 when she died,but now I'm 28,I have never seen anyone in so much pain before they die..Hits me hard
Awwww this song reminds me of my mum💔😓😓it speaks to me. Each time I listen to it I end up crying😓. The msg is too deep👌."kuti ndimusiye ndinoziva nhamo dzinoonekwa nenherera" zvokwadi tinotamba nhamo isina kana ani akamboona😓
This song is one of the best Zimbabwe has ever made. It was really crafted in a way that awakens emotions, you end up crying in the midst of the song 😢
@30 years and my daughter 8 years.im having periods of migraine headaches and this song is my prayer.since her birth it has been only the 2 of us.ndikamusiya anozovei Muku wangu.
This song is my medicine. I always ask God if there is still a ways after all i have been going through. Rest in praise Doctor love . This message is more than a prayer . Am really in pain
7:38 to 7:50 is the high point of the song. Matavire is both awed at God's might and disgusted at the same time. When he says "Aaah!" you can feel the anguish, dread, anger, confusion and utter submission. In the end he just gives in, utterly spent and exhausted. The human body and mind shouldn't have to absorb all that pain. But it is what it is.
Keep resting easy The Great Paul Matavire. Your music is such an inspiration. Every once in a while I pass through here just to relax my soul, plan my future for me and my family.
This is what we call singing from the heart P Matavire was different and this song was many people's prayer and thank god that God was faithful we were granted the wish as my grand mother prayed the same prayer when times were hard on us as a family and the only person whom i saw as my hope in life. Rest In Peace baba Matavire
Im a grown up lady but its still my mother's prayer for her to live long and see me succeed in life.its also my prayer too for her to see and enjoy the fruits of her hard work in us her children with God everything is possible.

This song came out the same year i tested hiv positive,i have to put it on repeat as my daily prayer i was worried of my children what will happen to them when i die,i thank god 2024 I'm still alive and strong 🙏
I miss my mum,she died 17 years ago and I remember she told me she would give anything to see us grow.Now I’m a mum myself I know exactly how she felt😭😭😭😭
This song makes me cry. I lost my mother in November 2019 after a long battle with heart problem. Then I was not working in the country and had last spent time with her in April 2019. I could not go home sooner and she was deteriorating gradually. Each time I phoned she asked mwana hangu when are you coming. In my heart I felt she was waiting for me. A week when I told her that I was coming she said I happy that you are coming. Another hiccup happened and she could not wait any more she passed away 4 days after the date I was supposed to arrive home. My heart bleeds every day. We could not both see each other for the last time. My mother was my life and my joy. I thank God for all the years he gave her the Grace to live a longer life till she quietly passed on. MHSRIP
Deep song..my mother used to look at me and my brothers and say oooh Lord ndikafa nhasi musasiye vana vangu vachitambudzwa nenyika..we are grown now mama and the Lord has been faithful to us..MYSRIP..we miss u😭

This song reminds me when I was young sitting with my father,l use to think that One day l will be telling my children stories just like my father used to, and am here to do that. Thanks be to God.
2019 and the message In this master piece is so touching. I'm always drawn to this mans music and other legends like Senzo...I feel I was there in their time and just reincarnated into a new Era. Live on Paul. Much respect.
I listen to this song everyday....l always pray to God for a longer life so that I can be able to take care of my children.....this world is a cruel place for orphans....."like a duckling opening its mouth my children's hope is on me".......
What a song,It takes me back to 1996 when my dad left me when i was11,it was my mom's prayer'athi Nkosi ngicela ungithathe ma sekhulile'then 2005 i got married,and then she said to me'it is done,even if i die now i will rip'and she passed away 2006.I didnt understand the meaning of the song until now that i get it.RIP MaGumbo
This song reminds me of my father he loved shona songs and this was one of the songs. He kept shona alive for us. Sadly he died too early for us to really enjoy him and his shona culture.... With the second wave of the covid pandemic this song just took me back to my childhood when we lost my father.. It has remained me of how fragile life is and how that God is the one in control.
So many good people have been lost and its so discouraging, sad and frightening, makes me wonder why the lord has kept me when all of my family is gone, its now just a big empty place to be
this touching song.it makes me miss my grandmom. she could do everything to make sure I'm happy. you left me when I needed you on .17/06/19. RIP Granny
when I play this song I think of my kids I cry also I think of my mom En my daddy who passed away on September 2008 14 my daddy my mom 12 same month god y but I thank you I'm now ,39 yrs also my kids are grown up

This song was my mom's prayer since I was a little girl, she suffered from acute asthma and later developed heart problems. Her prayer was that I get to the age of 12 and the Lord could take her. This year, a day before I turned 35, she passed on from heart failure. I thank God for allowing my mom to have lived 3-fold of what she had asked for from God. Though she had a poor quality of life due to her health, she was a brave heart who put up a fight right until her last breathe. I miss you mai vangu, my heart is broken, I don't know how to deal with you death.
so sorry for your loss, Thandi. She is safe in the arms of the Lord, no more suffering. Cherish the memories that she left with you.
You have to be strong. Its not easy dealing with the death of a loved one, esp your mother. God will guide you.
You have to be strong girl
Thandi Phiri God bless you
God hears and answers prayer(s)

There was blind man who used to live in Entumbane, Bulawayo, a friend both to Paul Matavire and my dad. His blindness was hereditary and his son, Ngoni, was blind too. One day akarohwa nemagetsi very badly, he was paralysed. I would go with my dad kunomuona and sometimes Paul Matavire would be there. The words that Matavire sang are those of the paralysed blind man who used to make a living out of weaving baskets at Jairos Jiri but now couldn't even wash himself. He wished he could survive until his son is able to fend for himself. However all the three, Baba Ngoni, Matavire and my dad have passed. May their souls rest in peace.

This song depicts a profound and sincere prayer expressed through the gift bestowed upon Paul by the same supreme being he is appealing to. A song which evokes strong emotions of sadness and in most cases has the effect or making tears unwittingly stream down one’s face when one ponders the profound message and/or is taken down memory lane of our dearly departed.
This was an answered prayer for Paul Matavire who nearly died following a mysterious illness he suffered years before his actual death.
In my view, this touching song is more about the child than it is about illness or death.
Paul’s lyrical prowess in this song can be summarised as depicting despair, bitterness, acceptance of death as an inevitable fact of life whilst at the same time acknowledging, with awe, God’s supremeness.
Despair: Various efforts he made and exhausted to try and recuperate from his illness but in vain.
Bitterness: Leaving his young and vulnerable child behind
Acceptance: Acknowledges death is inevitable hence he is not scared of dying but leaving behind his child is too ghastly to contemplate.
God’s supremeness: “..mutorei imi mambo, mune simba rokuumba, munoputsa, munoraramisa mugouraya; ahh...” “Ahh” for me is an exclamation that acknowledges how much he is in awe of the Supreme being hence the plea to allow him to raise his child.
This is one of the most touching songs where the artist sings from the heart to reflect on their personal situation. Examples of similar songs are: Kudakwashe (James Chimombe), Handina nharo (Leonard Dembo), Ndiridze mhere (System Tazvida), Zuva rekufa kwangu (John Chibadura) to mention just a few.
Paul Matavire was so gifted and what is also striking about this song are the accompanying powerful melodies which fit very well with the sombre yet very profound carefully arranged prayer. A prayer which cuts accross generations and will never lose relevance.
Rest in peace Paul Matavire. May we all take solace in knowing that no matter how hopeless your situation is, there is a Supreme being who answers our prayers.

It is when a parent is Soo sick and feels that it's time to depart but just can't because she has a little one that is so young and still dependent on her.
Handirambi meaning I'm not declining your call(death) but not now
It translates:
Which hospital did l not go to,which prophet did l not go to,which medication did l not l not,cause my health is detoriating.
Oh yes god l agree to be taken,but l have a request please let me live so my child could grow and be able to fend for himself,or take him before taking me ,in that way l will have peace knowing my child is in better place,who do l leave my child with, he's young and innocent.
Look his mouth is dry,his hungry and lm dying,what will he eat,please god give me strength to provide for him,l agree to die but think of my child.
There's only one thing that will close the Heaven door for me,it's my child
It's prayer from the father to be kept and healed such that he can see his child growing
So touching@@khumbulaningwenya2251
This song reminds me of my husband who passed away in 2009. His wish was to see our children grow and work. He felt his death and it was so painful. The lyrics penetrate with pain into my heart. R IP my beloved husband. Our children are doing great. You will always be missed
This song takes me back to 2002 when my father was very sick and we were too young to be left without a father figure i was 8 and my little bro was 2 There was no hope to life of my dady bt the last gift he did was to ask my most to go and have a civil wedding just to protect our house from cruel and heartless uncles. He passed on just one week after the wedding. My mom was able to protect our house and im so proud that my dady did this. I feel like he was in the same state of this song. I become so emotional wen im listing to this song Damn im even crying like now Love you FATHER ALWAYS HOPE TO C U AGAIN and tell hw proud iam
I remember listened it when I was about 10years.

This used to be my mother's prayer when she suffered a stroke 24 years ago and I was only 8 years old. Faithfuly God responded to her plea and healed her. . 24years later she's is growing strong and a grandmother to my children...
Praise be to God
My daughter is 8 years now.i just get scared the thought of leaving her behind.here I am playing this song everyday
This song is arguably the best musical piece ever produced by a zimbabwean artist.
You are right
Correct
true...add Kudakwashe by James Chimombe and you got 2 great master pieces
Totally agree 🙌🙌🙌🙌
This song is still one of my best lyrical song🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥#2020 who's wth me???....,,
Still listening, October 2020...Being a single mum of my 2 girls, 14 and 8, this is my prayer everyday. Vanoita sei nhai ndikanzi ndafa? Dai Mwari vandichengeta at least ndigovasiyawo vapedza school. I look at them while they sleep and the thought of me dying breaks me. No child should bury his/her parent💔
My mum passed away when I was three years old all i hve are pictures of her but whenever I listen to this song I can hear her sing it just for me.....your story touched me so very much
Iam sory
This was my mother’s prayer when she caught Covid 2020 , I thank God for keeping her for me🥺🫂
Africans love this song dude if u agree with me leave a thumb here.
Tested HIV negative after a scare and was expecting an innocent child. This song was my prayer
my late wife song rip my wife since 20 sept 2017 still with kids.Ossa our daughter is well taking her tablets as usual.i love you
It is well
Be encouraged bro
Keep keeping on 😭😭
may her soul rest in peace bro. God is watching over all of you
God will guide you my bro. May she rest in peace.
This song is a reminder of my late father John Chamunorwa. He worried leaving us so young, but don't worry Baba the lord is looking after us all.RIP
my father too ,he wanted me to finish school .
I remember in 1989 on Sunday morning when the late Admire Taderera hosted an early morning show between 0600 and 0700 on then radio 3 and played this song not once, but twice in a row and then simply said something like, "hayaas" then ended the show. It made me realise how lucky we are sometimes to be raised by both parents until adultwood.
On 09 July 1993 my mom passed on when I was 10. I know this was her prayer. I miss you Mama 😭
3 June '19 my beloved mom passed on..my heart is broken and i dont know how i'll ever heal and go on without her.She suffered from pancreatic cancer and fought bravely for 2 short months.i lost my best friend ,my pillar,my mom...i will not question God on why He allowed my mom to go so soon..it is well..i hope to see her on that great morning!!!!!!
sorry dear but in life we just need to pick up and keep moving, if you want more inspiration especially from nature, you may watch animal adventures, and you will see that God planted in us that ability to survive for as long as we have breath in spite of the very big losses we might have gone through.
Find comfort in the Lord
This song was played on my way to work today , as a very young and new father , i was touched , and i have come to know that i must do whatever is within my power to live and see my son grow up , in terms of choices , i must make choices that must save me from that prayer ,like not acquire sicknesses that will make me say that prayer , and my prayer to God is good health so that i see my son grow,dai ndisina kuzvara handaimbotya makagara mati kunofiwa , suddenly , its more important to live , for my son , thus more important to make responsible choices.Thanks Paul , i was born after your limelight but ur message ndainzwa !
The Lord shall grant you your hearts desires
This song and Kudakwashe by the late James Chimombe are the saddest songs ever produced in Zimbabwe. They drive you to tears.
we are currently sharing the same vibes dear, bless you. kudakwashe is the song I played just before this one
My father passed away when I was four. So his brothers took it upon themselves to see that we were taken care of.Im picturing them paroots listening to this song.Now they are late too...ooh shit these tears on my cheek I can't help it
This song hurts me,it makes me sob from within.
I'm 22, not married, but already I feel like a vulnerable mother, how sad.
We gotta appreciate our loved ones,our parents when we can,this song,too powerful, a parents infinite love.
No Morden song could say it better than this heart-ripping poetic piece.
Ndaita sober
To anyone who is not in good books with their parents, please play this song to them. They will see the importance of their parents
Painful part of life dying leaving a child behind .. felt it when he said take him/her first that i follow for i know the plight of orphans .. God bless you all and your families
My prayer kuti Dai Mwari vangondichengeta ndikwanise kuchengeta mwana wangu kusvika ava kukwanisa kuzvimiririrawo hake. My wish is to see him excel and achieving his dreams. The most hurting part is my brothers havana moyo zvino ndikazonzi handichipo Mwana wangu anodii @single mothers diaries. Mwari this is my plea... inzwaiwo munamato wangu ... one thing i know is you are a Faithful God
2020... The song reminds me of my late mother. When we were young she would listen to the song and say to us. My kids I wish the day my lord takes lizobaselikhulile ngoba if he takes me now I won't rest in peace knowing that I left you young to suffer... Thank God she passed away 2017 wen we were all grown ups......
Talk about great songs, this is a powerful song. Death will be swallowed in whole when Jesus returns to take us to heaven.
Amen Simba, I have lost so many pple this year I needed to be reminded of that
Amen. Best comment on this song.
My mom used to tell me vaigara vachiridza song iyi vakatanga kurwara when l was one .Hanzi ndaingoti Mwari nditorei mwana wangu anyora form 4 akugona kuzvibikira sadza ega and her dream came true she passed on 01 March 2020 inini ndakanyora form 4 muna 2019 .Continue Resting in Peace mama will forever be in my 💓😢❤...
I can't hold back my tears its my first time listening to this song ,oooh nhamo dziwanikwa nenherera ,Dady I miss you ,I was only 4 when you left me 😢😭😭😢😢nenyasha ndakura.
so touching.
sure he would have been a proud Dad today.
You'll be fine taa
2023 this song whenever I'm.hurt I will definitely listen and cry 😢 wishing if my father was here things could be better 🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹
this was also my mom's prayer when she became sick when l was 11, she would always listen to this song..she died that year when l was eleven,now l'm 21 years ten years after her death listening to the song crying as l now understand the meaning of her prayer
24 October 2023. Today is one of those days I miss home and my childhood. Tiri pa Povo pamurombedzi apo with my brothers nemuzukuru gogo vashaya tana sekuru vega dads in towns seing us once a year.
What brought you here in 2020? It’s ok to cry!!!
When you never got time with your parents, but having faith that this was their prayer, you can have a smile on your face everyday.
I remember listening to this song in 2016 then 2017 I got involved in a car accident now paraplegic (spinal cord injury )life yakangoma zvayo,now I have tried almost everything and to this song I relate😢😢😢
2019 whose here 😭😭reminds me of when my mom died and I was only grade6 1996
Hugs❤️❤️❤️
Shme
all the tym I listen to this song I miss m mom even more she passed on 2012 .19.Dec I'm a granny I miss m mother
😢
This song is so powerful because Paul matavire had faced the inevitable and could not dodge or run away from death 😢 life is too short and if you are faced with death and you are also a parent to an infant/children it’s extremely hard tablet to swallow. But as Paul puts it you just have to accept and pray for the best. I sang this song over and over the week I was diagnosed with cancer and my child was 3 years old then. Now she is 8 and I’m still praying 🙏🏾..... However every time I listen to this song I am reminded of how powerless we are and that we are on borrowed time, so I enjoy every moment with my child 😇
so sorry, hope you are still there for your kid
The Lord is faithful I’m still here fighting on keep the faith people no matter what. Thank you 🙏🏿
Happy to know you are still soldiering and you have surrendered to His Greater glory. He will be faithful.
I’m depressed asf and this song is simultaneously piercing my soul and comforting it as I stand on the balcony
My guy, sad i came here 2 years after but i hope you alright and still holding on tight brother..... stay strong and blessed.. depression is real...
This song hey makes me cry everyday .Continue to rest in peace my lovely brother Eric Kudakwashe 💔💔💔
You posted this 4 years ago and I do hope you’re in a much better space. Love and light to you 🕯️
Though she is now late, this song makes me remember how far my mom would go to make sure that I am the man I am today. Who I really am now has nothing to do with what I could do for myself but rather her unconditional and unprecedented love
ndarwadziwa remind me of my fathers death .and what we went through after his death .ndafunga zvakawanda .but God is so so faithful
life is cruel
hommies i knw homies
My mom died in 1995 and i was only 9. I totally understand this prayer from a parent from my experience growing and now even more now that i have my own son
My father listened to this song when my mom died 2009, it still gets to me till this day, takasiiwa vana 3 and my dad worked hard for us tikapedzisa chikoro tese izvezvi tatokura. I used to look at him listening to this song, even now l see his face from back then,, Mwari vane nyasha, nyasha dza Mwari dzakaoma.
Amen
Ndanga ndisati ndabarwa asi inonaka song iyi
That road on that pic it’s between chibi turn off to maringire is that correct
The part tht says "dai ndisina kuzvara ndaisatya kufa" hurts the most 💔
The one that says tangai mamutora ini ndozotevera hits harder
used to listen to the song when i was a kid. now that im a father of two boys and one on the way...... this song is more than a song.its a PRAYER.
This song remind me my father Dickson Munezi who died in 2002 after short illness
in his last days he played this song continuous hatina kuziva kuti
kwaiva kuwonwkana baba MHSRIP
Later on my mother died in 2005 zororai murugare mhai she used to like
John Chibadura song Zuva rekufa kwangu Rest In Peace Medes Mhinda Munezi
love you forever
so touched by your story may God be with you
my mom died 2002 and my brother 2005
l can't stop crying sorry. may your parents souls rest in peace
This song is Heavenly sent.Soul touching and inspiring at the same time.Now that i am a grown up man with 3 lovely kids & with God by my side,I will hustle till my last breath to see to it that my entire family continue enjoying the benefits of the Legacy i will leave for them.R.I.P Dad,You are my Hero even in death.🙏🙏🙏🇿🇲🇿🇲🌍🌍
in this era of zim dancehall you know you are class when you find time to visit such music
“Ndotaura neipi ndimi mambo?” And the tears just follow.
All the way from Zambia in 2020 and am still loving this song. I never even got to know what it talks about but my Dad loved it so much.. Music that touches the soul. Any Zimbabwean who can please interpret it for me..
It talks about a man who was about to die but was afraid to leave behind his vulnerable child. Hence his request to God was for the child to at least die first and he can follow.
This song depicts a profound and sincere prayer expressed through the gift bestowed upon Paul by the same supreme being he is appealing to. A song which evokes strong emotions of sadness and in most cases has the effect or making tears unwittingly stream down one’s face when one ponders the profound message and/or is taken down memory lane of our dearly departed.
This was an answered prayer for Paul Matavire who nearly died following a mysterious illness he suffered years before his actual death.
In my view, this touching song is more about the child (he speaks about how his child will survive without him) than it is about illness or death.
Paul’s lyrical prowess in this song can be summarised as depicting despair, bitterness, acceptance of death as an inevitable fact of life whilst at the same time acknowledging, with awe, God’s supremeness.
Despair: Various efforts he made and exhausted to try and recuperate from his illness but in vain.
Bitterness: Leaving his young and vulnerable child behind
Acceptance: Acknowledges death is inevitable hence he is not scared of dying but leaving behind his child is too ghastly to contemplate.
God’s supremeness: “..mutorei imi mambo, mune simba rokuumba, munoputsa, munoraramisa mugouraya; ahh...” “Ahh” for me is an exclamation that acknowledges how much he is in awe of the Supreme being hence the plea to allow him to raise his child.
This is one of the most touching songs where the artist sings from the heart to reflect on their personal situation. Examples of similar songs are: Kudakwashe (James Chimombe) and Zuva rekufa kwangu (John Chibadura) to mention just a few.
Paul Matavire was so gifted and what is also striking about this song are the accompanying powerful melodies which fit very well with the sombre yet very profound carefully arranged prayer. A prayer which cuts accross generations and will never lose relevance.
This song was a hit 1990-91 when i was very ill. I had a four month old baby and it really hit me to the core. it was as if it was written for me. I thank God im alive to tell the tale
I have listen to this song for more than 30 years. I am happy to get to know the meaning of it.It touches my heart so much, what can I say? I hope my children Yamikani, Kapumpe and Mwenzi, one day when they grow up could listen to this song. It relates to their mother's death when they were too young, Especially Mimi. Happy listening!!!
This song reminds me of my late mom .The feeling of seeing her in so much pain has stuck with me ,all my life..I was only 5 when she died,but now I'm 28,I have never seen anyone in so much pain before they die..Hits me hard
This song can make a gansta cry.
Michael Muzvuru hahaha seriously dude. true hey
true
my name is DMX I don't speak shona but Ndanzwa ne Ku svimha

😅😅😅😅I laughed but your statement is so true
Awwww this song reminds me of my mum💔😓😓it speaks to me. Each time I listen to it I end up crying😓. The msg is too deep👌."kuti ndimusiye ndinoziva nhamo dzinoonekwa nenherera" zvokwadi tinotamba nhamo isina kana ani akamboona😓
This song just make me cherish and appreciate my parents .... I love them so much .. am blessed to still have both of them alive
This song is one of the best Zimbabwe has ever made. It was really crafted in a way that awakens emotions, you end up crying in the midst of the song 😢
The prayer of this song is very deep. Makes me want to cry somtimes.
A prayer of a shuttered man. Mabasa akaitwa muEden
@30 years and my daughter 8 years.im having periods of migraine headaches and this song is my prayer.since her birth it has been only the 2 of us.ndikamusiya anozovei Muku wangu.
Live long to see your grandkids in Jesus name
This song is my medicine. I always ask God if there is still a ways after all i have been going through. Rest in praise Doctor love . This message is more than a prayer . Am really in pain
One of the best songs i heard from a Zimbabwean artist,,,,i really love this song,,so emotional
7:38 to 7:50 is the high point of the song. Matavire is both awed at God's might and disgusted at the same time. When he says "Aaah!" you can feel the anguish, dread, anger, confusion and utter submission. In the end he just gives in, utterly spent and exhausted. The human body and mind shouldn't have to absorb all that pain. But it is what it is.
Dude,I'm a grown ass man...but eish...
Very good analysis here
this song reminds me of my late father we tried everything but doesnt help, i respect that there,s God, s time, Rest in peace sinyoro
This song reminds me of my father who passed away in 2000 when i was 4 yrs old and my young sister only 2 years old.....so touching
Keep resting easy The Great Paul Matavire. Your music is such an inspiration. Every once in a while I pass through here just to relax my soul, plan my future for me and my family.
This is what we call singing from the heart P Matavire was different and this song was many people's prayer and thank god that God was faithful we were granted the wish as my grand mother prayed the same prayer when times were hard on us as a family and the only person whom i saw as my hope in life. Rest In Peace baba Matavire
Im a grown up lady but its still my mother's prayer for her to live long and see me succeed in life.its also my prayer too for her to see and enjoy the fruits of her hard work in us her children with God everything is possible.
Best song ever
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhx2

(Because if i am to leave the child behind, i am afraid of pleasing the wicked hearted)
Nokuti kuti ndimusiye ndinoziva nhamo dzinoonekwa nenherera
(I know the challenges faced by orphans, thus why)
Kuti ndiite wekuponda uhhm ndinotya kutongwa nemurawu wekuuraya
(I could murder my child, but uhmm, i am afraid to be judged by your laws which prohibit such)
Mutorei imi mambo mune simba rokuumba, munoputsa munoraramisa mugouraya uhm
(Rather take my child you Oh Lord because you have the power to make, destroy, give life and take it away) Uhmmm
The other ndebele version just repeats the same message.

This song came out the same year i tested hiv positive,i have to put it on repeat as my daily prayer i was worried of my children what will happen to them when i die,i thank god 2024 I'm still alive and strong 🙏
I miss my mum,she died 17 years ago and I remember she told me she would give anything to see us grow.Now I’m a mum myself I know exactly how she felt😭😭😭😭
This song makes me cry. I lost my mother in November 2019 after a long battle with heart problem. Then I was not working in the country and had last spent time with her in April 2019. I could not go home sooner and she was deteriorating gradually. Each time I phoned she asked mwana hangu when are you coming. In my heart I felt she was waiting for me. A week when I told her that I was coming she said I happy that you are coming. Another hiccup happened and she could not wait any more she passed away 4 days after the date I was supposed to arrive home.
My heart bleeds every day. We could not both see each other for the last time.
My mother was my life and my joy. I thank God for all the years he gave her the Grace to live a longer life till she quietly passed on. MHSRIP
How many of you here are still listening to this jam in 2020.

2023 still listening to this masterpiece. I cannot forget my mum who always wanted a better life for us
2019 and the message In this master piece is so touching. I'm always drawn to this mans music and other legends like Senzo...I feel I was there in their time and just reincarnated into a new Era. Live on Paul. Much respect.
I listen to this song everyday....l always pray to God for a longer life so that I can be able to take care of my children.....this world is a cruel place for orphans....."like a duckling opening its mouth my children's hope is on me".......
What a song,It takes me back to 1996 when my dad left me when i was11,it was my mom's prayer'athi Nkosi ngicela ungithathe ma sekhulile'then 2005 i got married,and then she said to me'it is done,even if i die now i will rip'and she passed away 2006.I didnt understand the meaning of the song until now that i get it.RIP MaGumbo
Jane Mtara eish this is deep lm sorry for ur loss.
This song reminds me of my father he loved shona songs and this was one of the songs. He kept shona alive for us. Sadly he died too early for us to really enjoy him and his shona culture.... With the second wave of the covid pandemic this song just took me back to my childhood when we lost my father.. It has remained me of how fragile life is and how that God is the one in control.
This song has reminded me of my dad, he liked his children and this song as well. You have made me cry again. I miss you papa
marwadzo kuvamherera
So many good people have been lost and its so discouraging, sad and frightening, makes me wonder why the lord has kept me when all of my family is gone, its now just a big empty place to be
