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"
Am zambian abantu means people even in our language and our language is so similar to yours such that i understand most songs without even interpreting
This is 2022 and i am typing this in tears, i loved the song but didn’t know the meaning before, the meaning just made me shed tears cos it hits home. Thank you!!!
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.
When I heard Nelson Mandela passed, all I could think about are people like Zahara who will carry on his tradition of uplift and accomplishment. Speak for the people Zahara, keep the spirit alive!
Thank you for the resounding melodies that melted our pain away thru situstions! One of the greatest talents to ever come from Africa...whether in love or sorrow, you always had something for our souos. i still find myself turn to you for your melody navigating through my lifes situations. Your legend lives on Zahara. So much love from the Waem Heart of Africa Malawi. ❤
I can't get over the purity and beauty of Zahara's voice. Such a fantastic instrument. Thank YOU Zahara for sharing this gift with the world. I can listen to you over and again and all I hear is God.
I don't understand a word she is singing but her music talks to me in a very special musical language. The music is rich and very meaningful. Well done Zahara, I wish you all the success you dream for and so richly deserve.
South Africa you have history of hard times, but as you embrace mankind with peace, you will move to new heights and it will show. Blessings to you music people with African soul and a sweet girl like Zahara
Nice song and It is motivational too, showing that no matter how people try to block your way, doubt you, never give up, dont stop trying, keep working hard and trust God, He is the one who give the final answer.
Have been searching for this song for the past 5 years..could sing some parts in my head but thank God I av found it..Zahara u are a blessing...the ahhh aah part is so spiritual...
I have been listening to this song the whole day today . I guess because I knew I will have to say good bye to my dad today. Just came back from airport to see him off. Ja nee the things we do for Mzantsi . I miss my home . Lengoma ja nee the things we do for you.
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.
Zahara,you have an inspiring voice,I was deeply touched when I heard your Vocals and the lyrics of the song,I was speechless,more grease to your elbow and God bless you
I absolutely love this song! I first heard the Dj Sbu feat. Zahara version and thought this woman is amazing! Found this version and many other songs of Zahara that I love! She's my new favorite singer!! Not sure how many can come close!
Pure African soul from a higher dimension.In uganda lengoma is engoma meaning drum and abantu means people.Many words in this song i can hear and unbderstand.
Cette chanson est ma préféréé, elle est si profonde qu'elle fait pleurer. Thank you Zahara et may God bless you specialy for this song. I like it deeply. Je t'adore Zahara. Kiss
Who on earth could be these hatters of this inspiring song, I have realized that there are some people whose job online is to spread hate. I guess that's the only way they know how to feel better about themselves.

Sleep well Zahara. Thank you for this beautiful song ❤
Romantique son
This song brings me to tears... Thank you to my Zimbabwean friend who introduced me to it
My Zimbabwean friend also introduced me to this song🥺🥺
My favourite inspirational jam, how I wish Zahara could feel the power of these lyrics. Rest easy😢
I'm studying for a test right now and her tracks are super awesome to listen to while studying, gives me that motivation :)
hope you passed the test, cause i am in the same situation right now
In my opinion , Zahara is the the African version of Tracy chapman . The guitar and the singing just blends . What a singer she is ..
We all Agree
She is Zahara
Saw her debut this song in angola 🇦🇴 Luanda in 2012 and I've been hooked ever since 😍 this song brought me out of depression and into my highest self.
🇦🇴

Kirimo cyinshi kabisa
I’m Zulu I also understand some words of Swahili. It’s so closely related
Iyi ngoma its also shona from Zimbabwe. We speak the same languages i wish we could be united states of Africa
ngoma means song, in Shangana language mozambique
I agree I am Swati but understand almost every word
I love her accent,her voice,her natural looks she's just a perfect African woman
Rest in peace Zahara. Thank you for the beautiful and empowering music.
the song that defied language barrier. It just speaks straight to your soul and hold you captive. Dont even try to struggle with it. go with the flow

It reminds me of my late father. He loved it.
When I heard Nelson Mandela passed, all I could think about are people like Zahara who will carry on his tradition of uplift and accomplishment. Speak for the people Zahara, keep the spirit alive!
Now I understand why this sing resonated with me. I first heard the one with DJ SBU. Love from 🇳🇬

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
This song touches me so deep in my soul !!
