    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.

    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 made me realise how lucky we are sometimes to be raised by both parents until adultwood.

    • @matareellen
      @matareellen 4 роки тому

      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.

    • @theoriginalblack5237
      @theoriginalblack5237 Рік тому

      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.

  • @nyasham6919
    @nyasham6919 4 роки тому +11

    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.

    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
