@@justindingle Exactly! He's not underrated, it's just that not enough people have experienced his work. I don't speak a word of isiXhosa yet the words he sings convey great power. Each of his songs is beautiful, for many different reasons. Full of emotion.
Phambi kwabantu bonke ndiyafunga (Before all men I vow) Oba bomi bendibuphila (that the life I have been living) ndibushiya emva (I am leaving behind) Lemini sisiphawulo (this day is a marker) Iyandazisa (to let all know) Andisenguye mna lo ndanidinguye (I am no longer the person I used to be) Chorus: Ndokulandela wena (I will follow you) Noba wena uyaphi na (wherever you go) Ndokuhamba ngawe (I will go with you) Zonke'imini zobomi bam (all the days of my life) zobomi bam, zobomi bam (the days of my life) Ntliziyo yami yonke (all of my heart) Ndiyibeka phambi kwakho (I lay before you) Andisenawo mna amandla (I no longer have the power) Ndincede bawo uz'undamkele (Lord help me, welcome me back to you) Uyikhombi'indlela ukuze ndihambe (show me the way, so I can walk in it) Chorus Lizwe lingandijikela (the world may turn against me) Bantu bandiflathele (people may turn their backs to me) Mna andijiki (I am not turning back) Ndoku Ndokulandela (I will, I will follow you) Chorus
Thank you so much the lyrics and translation of the song. If it is not much trouble, could you please do the same for Isiphelo. Truly yearn to know the meaning of that song. Thanks again! :)
I just lost my partner on the 24/06/2023 I dedicate this song to her rest in peace my love, ulale ngoxolo Akhona Sive ndokulandela ngenye imini ndincede bawo uzundamnkele 🕯️🕯️😭❤️🕊️
I was able to see Bongeziwe live two years ago in CPT and his voice truly is so so beautiful and unique, it was such a magical night! A song I put on repeat until this day
First heard this song on DJ Kent’s ultimate mix 3 years ago. Searched for this song everywhere couldn’t find it. Shazam couldn’t pick it up till I came across it on TH-cam about 4 months ago - goosebumps 🥺. Love your craft man.
Vodacom add brought me here. It was a mission trying to get this song hle. Having to wait for a Vodacom add all the time just to get the bits of the lyrics.
WOW!!! I gave this song and video a standing ovation from my office desk and my co-workers looked me like crazy but atleast they now know who Bongeziwe Mabandla is because they had to come and watch with me.
Your music is home. It shows how South Africa and also Africa as a whole of how it should be shaped. The only artist who masters how to add South African traditional beats(drums, flute, etc.). From me to you I say Ndlela Nhle 🎢☘️🍀✊🏿
My favorite discovery this year
Dig in more to his master pieces. I assure that you will fall in love ❤️
the man has good taste
Totally shocked this was from 6 years ago. I feel like I’ve been under a rock but a stunning song, voice and visuals. Love love love
Who is here 2024
📍😩
Njalo hlezi ngubuya
Just landed for the first time! I think i might stay for a little while
NDOKULANDELA - Lyrics translation:
before all people I am making the vow
that the life i use to live i leave behind
this day is marking. it declares
i am no longer the person i used to be
i will follow you wherever you go
i will walk by you all the days of my life
all of my heart i put before you
i no longer have any power
help me father let me in
and point the way so that i can go
the world can go against me
people turn their backs
but i am never going back
i will, i will follow you
until I am free.

Phambi kwabantu bonke ndiyafunga (Before all men I vow)
Oba bomi bendibuphila (that the life I have been living)
ndibushiya emva (I am leaving behind)
Lemini sisiphawulo (this day is a marker)
Iyandazisa (to let all know)
Andisenguye mna lo ndanidinguye (I am no longer the person I used to be)
Chorus:
Ndokulandela wena (I will follow you)
Noba wena uyaphi na (wherever you go)
Ndokuhamba ngawe (I will go with you)
Zonke'imini zobomi bam (all the days of my life)
zobomi bam, zobomi bam (the days of my life)
Ntliziyo yami yonke (all of my heart)
Ndiyibeka phambi kwakho (I lay before you)
Andisenawo mna amandla (I no longer have the power)
Ndincede bawo uz'undamkele (Lord help me, welcome me back to you)
Uyikhombi'indlela ukuze ndihambe (show me the way, so I can walk in it)
Chorus
Lizwe lingandijikela (the world may turn against me)
Bantu bandiflathele (people may turn their backs to me)
Mna andijiki (I am not turning back)
Ndoku Ndokulandela (I will, I will follow you)

What language is this?
@@goztokelifdeniz Xhosa. South Africa.

I don't understand why his music is underrated, Bongeziwe is just AMAZING. I have both albums
Sadly anything thay truely resembles Afrika is underrated.
Somebody said they don't support talent no more, they support trends
Shhhhhh he is our person, our safe space... let him be our person if they find him out, they will take him from us
Bleb
@@bongisamkhose3386 they will overplay him even in wrong spaces 😆 🤣
Enkosi Vodacom 😍
I was able to see Bongeziwe live two years ago in CPT and his voice truly is so so beautiful and unique, it was such a magical night! A song I put on repeat until this day

A song like this makes you proud to be South African, big up 🔥.
Tu música me conecta en una aventura de viajar y correr por una montaña ❤ cerrar mis ojos y disfrutar del viento y el aire puro.
Heard this from the Mandela Centenary banknotes TV commercials, been looking since then. Found it today.
First heard this song on DJ Kent’s ultimate mix 3 years ago. Searched for this song everywhere couldn’t find it. Shazam couldn’t pick it up till I came across it on TH-cam about 4 months ago - goosebumps 🥺. Love your craft man.
What kent did on that mix I thought it was a real house song, kanti he used an accapella of this song
Bongeziwe Mabandla is absolutely brilliant. His music pulled me out of a dark place...his a genius...ahead...
Elle me donne des frissons ! Merci 🙏🏼
