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.
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!
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
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
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
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
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.
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.

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!!!!
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 ❤️
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 👏👏👏
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. 😍

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.
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 ✍🏾
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.
Mixon thank you so much for the translation. Ever since I listened to the rendition of this song by Professor Allan I have deeply fallen in love with this song. Chimbetu was a man from his own world. MHSRIP.
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
Sad when is made to feel this way. I guess when you have to make others feel this way, inside you yourself must be much uglier. RIP Simoni you were also created in God's image. Thanks for this most insightful contribute. Ini hangu zvinondiomera kuti mumwe anzwe kudai asi tese takasikwa nemufananidzo washe.
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)
one of those absolutely timeless tracks ever - though i cnt understand the language the song's vibe does give the idea that it is a sad song, always wished to sing along correctly - icing on the cake wld be knowing what the lyrics actually mean....legend - enough respect!

Chimbetu was very handsome he was just singing for other people like us who are not good looking
Nditu nditu Chauta woo nina ona Vhuto ninali mwana wamasiye nakulila muntawi😢😢
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)
Thanx thts my first time to know the meaning
ndizvozvo chopa muzuri sana
one of those absolutely timeless tracks ever - though i cnt understand the language the song's vibe does give the idea that it is a sad song, always wished to sing along correctly - icing on the cake wld be knowing what the lyrics actually mean....legend - enough respect!
imon Chimbetu - Chauta lyrics
Chauta woo! (Dear Lord)
Tsiku loyamba lomwelija (On the very first day)
Lomwelija
Limene munali kulenga ine (When you created me)
Ndilomwelo
Ndilomweli ndikuti beta munanchinja nkhope(Is the same day I wish you should have slightly altered my facial appearance)......x2
Nkhope yanga (My face)
Ndikhala ngati ndiliulira (Appears as if I am crying)
Nkhope yanga
Ndikhala ngati ndiliupita or bwera, (Its not really clear whether I am going forward or backwards)
silidziwika bwino, i (Things have fallen apart)
koma munakanchinja nkhope (but you should have changed my facial appearance)....x2
Oyang'ana (Onlookers)
Andiyesa Chitsilu yawa (They think that I am foolish)
Oyang'ana
Andiyesa wakuba ine (They think I am a thief)
Oyang'ana
Andiyesa wolodza, (they think that I am a witch)
chauta munakanchinja nkhope , (God you should have changed my facia appearance)
