Mvela...Song is done in Nyanja language spoken in Eastern Zambia and parts of Malawi. The song was originally done by Zambian female artist Lily Tembo who sadly passed in 2009. Its basically a parent emphasizing a child to how precious life is and how it should be treasured. The parent tells the child how the world has grown cold hearted and full of disease and evil so she/he must listen and safeguard their life as it will never be purchased once lost.
2022 to everyone reading this comment I wish you all the best in life may God bless you all 🙏 let's take good care of our lives it's all we truly have .
If you see this in 2023 I just want to drop this comment and say to you that you're blessed... May God almighty see you through in everything you do whatever you're going through just know that he's there with you.....be safe and guard your heart 💕🤍
I love you Racheal. Seeing those tears run down your cheeks and listening to your tender voice made me cry too, even without understanding the meaning of the song. God bless you and your family.
am from zimbabwe and singing is my life and that girl inspires me,am only 16,i just hope one day i will be on that stage singing my heart out,great job girlfriend
This song makes me cry, the plea of a parent that wants you to hear them. Take care of your life, if you spill it, you ll never be able to buy it back. Deep!
This song reminds me of my late friend Lily T, who wrote it and sang it. Rachael was her backing vocalist. We need this message, especially now in Covid 19 days. We cannot buy life but we can take care. Thank you Rachael 💘
@@almiramigo Hi. Thank you for reaching out. Basically, the sing is about a Parent advising their child about not taking life for granted. They are saying you can't buy life and you have to listen to your elders for you to live long.
My generation really needs to be listening to songs like this....nothing but the truth put in a beautiful melody ❤️❤️❤️ I sing this to myself from time time🥺🥺
Can we please 🙏 put some respect on Lily Tembo for this song. 2021 still playing this masterpiece. I salute you Lilly Tembo❤️ Continue resting in peace 😭
After this song am so proud of Africa. We have all the Talent!!! We will become a great continent nomatter what.Lets just believe. Racheal Botha you are awesome i am speechless
Not matter were you are today Racheal, you earned a big place in heaven next to The Lord Almighty!!!! God Bless you and your family!!! you are a true soldier of Christ!!!!
This is Africa for you,African passion for music and the message,her tears and mine too is the message of the music.Her tears are real,no film tricks non make-ups.Racheal i too share your tears for the rest of African children crying in NEEDS.Weep not child,weep not my darling.With those kisses,let me remove your tears (Ngugi wa thiogo).Bravo Racheal
How did I miss this jewel? Music is indeed universal. Just love every aspect of this even though I don't understand a word in it. This should be timeless. Signed. 2020
If life could be bought We couldn't be saying they were with us my They died my child The world is rough People also have hardened their hearts Deseases also are unencurable The world is roughly How will I tell you So u can understand my child x2 Listen listen my child This life is never bought Once lost it can never be found Take care of your own life when you lose it you will never find it x4
I’m here 2020 I was soo young one I heard this song one this other day I heard this song in my dreams I felt like my mom was talking to me I cried in my dreams until this other day someone posted it with her name thanks lily t may ur soul keep resting from #Malawi
Rachael you've really touched my heart with your song, how come I've only come to listen to your voice after all this while. Am sure Lilly T would have loved to listen to this lyric as well. I would love to listen to more of your singing..
You'll appreciate it even more once you get to know the meaning of the song. The song is about a mother who is telling their child to appreciate life, as this world is full of diseases and cold hearted people. You can't buy life. There is no one who will tell you this truth apart from me. Keep your life safe. 2023 and the song still remains relevant.
I just saw one of her songs "I need you" by Marc Anthony and just fell in love with her voice. I'm so happy someone posted her name on that video. God bless you Rachael.
One thing is true that, This music is so deep. I didn't even know what was the meaning but I listened to this song like someone who's knows the signification. Just because you Sang with your heart 💓❤️. The music just bring me a lot of tears. Thank you my sister. God blessed 🙏🙏
The day she died, 14.09.2009, I gave birth to a baby girl and named her Melody to honour her music. Seven years later, I had another girl on the same date, and she sings!! She is the next Lily T, my dear departed friend.
What a beauty, probably even more relevant today than the time it was composed and delivered with such passion, emotion and artistic precision that delivers the message as intended. Perfectly Zambian, preserving our cultural, Christian and traditional values. We knew how to teach our children the right lessons of life at the appropriate time by appropriate counselors; not everything was to be gotten from the classroom. Zambians, have we lost it, really?
The massage is to talk care of yourself because you can't buy life, there's lot of diseases and you need to take care of yourself to live long,it's only you who can keep it for yourself
You'll appreciate it even more once you get to know the meaning of the song.

There is no one who will tell you this truth apart from me. Keep your life safe.
OMG! I have no idea what she is saying but i can feel the energy from this song. Great girl, great group of ladies with great voices. Go AFRICA!!! Very proud of MOTHER LAND.
Racheal you done us all zambians proud with your version of Mvela, Lilly T is definately smiling down at you, very power performance, well done hun, RIP Lilly xoxoxx
Wow 🥺 this has warm my heart and I feel so emotional and I will learn something from this song because our generation has become even worse like Babylon so I personally thankyou to this song and may Lily Tembo continue to rest in peace
I love how the emotion in a singer permeates throughout the entire band... Suddenly there is a great connection. A harmony higher than the perfect expression attainable through mere rehearsal. Such a great expression. Bass outro, awesome!!!
Don't understand what's being said but from the emotions the music produces I can feel the message without knowing the words..and I listened to it cos I love Rachel
I used not to understand when people says like .. .*I can't stop on listening this song* in other youtube songs but I now get the true definition of it minutes 3:30~4:16. can't stop listening in touchly way that part so emotional.
why am i shedding tears as i watch this song and i dont hear the messange in it !!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🎶🎶🎶🎶 the melody , the vocals and the facial expression shows this song is so emotional oh my God someone to translate for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I'm from Zimbabwe. We have so many people that are originally from Malawi or Zambia. I think Nyanja is such a beautiful language.
The great Oliver Mtukudzi said music is a universal language. You can get emotional without understanding the language

If life could be bought
We couldn't be saying they were with us my
They died my child
The world is rough
People also have hardened their hearts
Deseases also are unencurable
The world is roughly
How will I tell you
So u can understand

Listen listen my child
This life is never bought
Once lost it can never be found
Take care of your own life
when you lose it you will never find it x4
