    In my opinion , Zahara is the the African version of Tracy chapman . The guitar and the singing just blends . What a singer she is ..

    Bantu truly are one people, i'm Rwandan, but i can understand some of her words in Xhosa, in Kinyarwanda "Lengoma" would be "Iyi ngoma" and nsha (new) would be "Nshya"

    Understanding the language and listening to the lyrics is so much better than these subtitles. Don't get me wrong the person who wrote these subtitles did a good job but the expression of the way she says these things in IsiXhosa is just beyond beauty to a native speaker.

    Abantu k'dala bend'valel'indlela
    Besisthi andiyonto
    futhi ndiyaboniswa
    Kodw'i
    ingom'engaphakathi kwam ibalis'ibali Nokuwa
    nokuvuka komntu
    nolonwab'olungapheliyo[Chorus:]
    Nd'yathandaz'uyive lengoma
    Izovuselel'umphefumlo wakho
    Ik'nik'ithemb'elitsha Kudal'usithi nyawo zam
    ndise
    Ndikhokhele undise kwantliziyo ndise Apho
    kungenjena umphefumlo wam wahlukene[Chorus:]
    Nd'yathandaz'uyive lengoma
    Izovuselel'umphefumlo wakho
    Ik'nik'ithemb'elitsha

    @lucymutemi5758 9 років тому +2

    Omg her voice is so nice, it makes me want to sing along but I can barely get a word, sounds more than like a narrative.
    I like the part where she goes like "it's been long time people blocking my way, saying I'm nothing and it's evident, but the song tells me a different tale, it will restore your soul and give you new hope.
    It goes so deep, I love it.
