2 March 2024 still listening to this song … l love this song coz my Dad does this is a hit and l just love the beats🔥🔥🔥🔥.Simon Chimbetu you are a legend…I miss home because of you
there is something sweet and sad about the way he hit the guitar strings this man. It makes you want to get up and dance and at the same time want to cry and think about all the good people who's left this earth and the good ol days where all seemed to make sense. tru legend

Vuto in chewa means strife in English and it's not spelt with a d in front. Vuto means Nhamo in Shona. Udubo in Ndebele. Otherwise all your translations from Chewa to English are spot on.
This tune is in my language Chewa from Malawi in Zambia they call it Nyanja. Chauta tsiku loyamba lomwelija limene mudali kulenga ine ndilomwelo ndikuti mukadandichinja nkhope, Oh Lord the very first moment/day you were creating me, it could have been the day you should have changed this ugly wobble face of mine, people are just laughing at me your image.
Saturday 28 December 2019, Time 4:04 pm enjoying the song as if there is no tomorrow. if i am not alone hit like and remind the world that we used to have great musicians we cant forget even up to 2099
Eish good old days when my country Zimbabwe was Zimbabwe we enjoyed I remember when Simon went to Mozambique in Tete & I was there eish let your dear soul continue to rest in eternal peace you were a legend which United countries Zim malawi &Moz
Rest in heaven to every person who was a part of my childhood. I miss all of you. I miss the times when life was easy. Thank you for being a part of my life. Till we meet again ❤️
I can't help but love this song... This man was a legend. If only he was still around at this time when things are bad here in Zim, maybe he would make music to stop all this violence and unite us all. God bless u all
This was Chimbetu at his best. Bringing joy to people in times of difficulties. This is a master piece from a son of the soil. If there was a hall of fame in Zimbabwe, he deserves his place!
Chimbetu going bilingual - one of the finest vocals in Zimbabwe sungura supported by the best guitar composition, complimented by the whistle - that was Chimbetu trademark - dendera musis a brand blending both sungura and kanindo - the result the best gem....Tatenda Baba, taombera!!!!
Thanks for the music, Simon. Your language breaks barriers in almost 6 African countries. We still enjoy your music even though you are gone. We love you brother. Thanks. Your good work still lives on through your work and son, Sulumani.
Brilliant Master piece & composition, Ululating drums & captivating combination of modern instruments with Mbira! Great message& Well done Soko-Murehwa and thanks for keeping our flag high & an admirable ambassador in the US & abroad, God Bless ana Gwenyambira

Simon Chimbetu sang songs in Chichewa and Shona and he was a big deal in Malawi the same can be said about John Chibadura African legendary musicians 👏👏👏
Who else is listening to the legend himself in 2020, ever loved ever remembered, African child gone way too soon. Oh God your love endures for ever, when you all hope and love is gone...who else can we look up to. Born a Genius ✍🏾
One of the best from Simon Chimbetu. A musician who would sing fluently in 4 languages - Shona, Ndebele, English and Chewa. I love this song full of memories. RIEP Chopper. You entertained our generation to the fullest.
This type of music was mainline 15 years ago and beyond. Most music from this era had such deep meaning and I fear that this style might be missing in the music that is mainline these days. Chimbetu, Zhakata, Tuku were household names.
Some songs move u and some MOVE U. I agree with u Yvonne Fombe. I would argue that Simon Chimbetu was/is one of southern africa's greatest artists ever, ever, ever, ever, ever . Can u please put all the lyrics here so I can cry along!!! Thanx 2000 fiyo and lastonbillz Wanga.
These were masters in this field. I think we are only left with Father Aleck Macheso otherwise every other musician in today's world will just do songs that will be on the hit for 2 months and its gone and forgotten
Anyone my age would probably not love this song. After listening to it this year all i can say is i love it. I don't have to know and understand lyrics for the song speaks to the inner human. 😍

2020 played the hit over and over, l discovered the legend was refering to someone very close. All the same l am a big fan his music l still play till today and most tracks l play over and over.
the song is sayin God the very first day u created me u cud av changed my face, coz wen ppo look at me they think am a thief. witch fool and my face is like am cryn, the whole lylics are chichewa the language from the warm heart of africa ( malawi)
2020 from 2018 going Gweru from Mutare .... pfeee paMSU in 3hrs 30 mins .... Everytime l cross Chivhu kusvika Mvuma this was the song haaaaaa for no reason l would just cry
Beautiful song sang in Chewa. Simon is asking God that the day he was being created God should have changed his face appearance. Because when people look at him now they say he looks like a mad man,a thief and a witch. It obviously has deeper meaning to the examples his using.

This song takes me back to 2010 when I was doing my nursing psych attachment at Ngomahuru.There was a patient who loved it ❤❤ originally from malawi
Great melodies from our Legend, such a prayerful song crying to God if the circumstances had been changed from the time of birth
Who is here after listening to Professor Allan Chimbetu's rendition in July 2020
Human being are the same shuwa lol
Lead guitar still on point on this song.... he surely still rmembers these songs
He is great

Ndiko kwandabva ndakananga pano
there is something sweet and sad about the way he hit the guitar strings this man. It makes you want to get up and dance and at the same time want to cry and think about all the good people who's left this earth and the good ol days where all seemed to make sense. tru legend
Can't agree with you more

Vuto in chewa means strife in English and it's not spelt with a d in front.
Vuto means Nhamo in Shona.

Otherwise all your translations from Chewa to English are spot on.
Thank you so much for the translation...All along I have been just enjoying the good song without understanding.

One of the best from Simon Chimbetu. A musician who would sing fluently in 4 languages - Shona, Ndebele, English and Chewa. I love this song full of memories. RIEP Chopper. You entertained our generation to the fullest.
what was he singing about here???? i just enjoyed
Wasiya Swahili
Yes Swahili @ Stimulus
All i know this is a powerful song misodzi inongoti mokoto ndikaridza chimbo ichi. Uzorore murugare mwana weZimbabwe we will treasure yo work
This type of music was mainline 15 years ago and beyond. Most music from this era had such deep meaning and I fear that this style might be missing in the music that is mainline these days. Chimbetu, Zhakata, Tuku were household names.

the man never forgot his chewa roots, made sure his albums had one song from swahili or chewa. impressive
Hi father was from Tanzania
That lead guitar though. LEGEND
The song is saying the first day when u make my face u should change my face because if people look at me they think i thief, mental disturb

These were masters in this field. I think we are only left with Father Aleck Macheso otherwise every other musician in today's world will just do songs that will be on the hit for 2 months and its gone and forgotten
Zhakata also but he must focus more on maintaining his brand
