Mthande lyrics - Musa Sukwene


Umbambe ngesandla
Umbheke emehlweni njalo
Umtjel' uyamthanda
Uzambon' emoyizela

[chorus]
Mthande, mthande umuntu wakho x2
Mncome, mncome umuntu wakho x2

Ubombamba ngesandla
Umbhek' emehlweni
Umncome njalo
Umtjel' izmadzadza

[chorus] x2

Umcharme njalo, umspoile njalo
Umtjele njalo' ukuth' uyamthanda
Umcharme njalo, umspoile njalo

[chorus] x2

**********

[Translation]

Hold her hand
Stare into her eyes
Tell her you love her
You will see her blushing

[chorus]
Love her, love your person x2
Compliment her, compliment your girl

You should hold her hand
Look into her eyes
Compliment her all the time
Tell her she is beautiful

[chorus]

charm her always, spoil her all the time
Always tell her you love her
Never stop charming and spoiling her

Tieks ft. Dan Harkna - Sunshine [ perfect track for London's summer sun]

It's rare that I showcase UK house but I just love this addictive track.
Yay
I Love it so much!



Oh btw way.. the Labour party are finished.
One dominant party will remain.

If the Tory's master the center under Theresa May that's it.
Tom Watson was a mistake for Jeremy Corbyn.. but who cares now.. really.

Happy Sunday people x
Good luck Usain!

Zulu King: "I won't let my people forget our history" - [Talk to Al Jazeera]

Very interesting history, and very interesting interview
That the King states that he prays to Jesus Christ I found somewhat confusing given the Zulu history and culture.
Anyway
The Reed dance ceremony sounds randy

On the surface it's reported to be an 'initiation ceremony' in which young women and girls preserve their virginity until marriage. But, it's also reported to be little more than a parade of bare breasted young women for the King to choose yet another wife.
If it's the latter, then KMT King, mi no likeee. :-)

If however he is really just trying to halt the spread of HIV and minimize the sexual exploitation of younger girls by elder men then fine.
[but i doubt it. his response to how the dance raises HIV awareness, was accompanied by an uneasy smirk.. followed by the words... culture]

Mo takes Gold!

How emotional was Mo Farrah's race?. Wow Gold medal winner again!.
Well done to Jessica Ennis Hill..
Greg Rutherford took 3rd place in the long jump, and as gutted as he was, well done to him.. what a competitor.
in fact all the athletes of course, but i'm just loving the Olympics as you know.





If I could turn back time that's the only thing I'd 'change I think. I would have never given up that side of my career.

It's proving to be an amazing Olympics for team GB.
Rowing Cycling running... all good

I watched as Mo Farrah beat the Kenyan on the home straight.
Mi watch im fall, roll over, git up, rub im ball head and say yo Kenyan, nuh mess wid me, nuh watch mi flag, a Somalia mi born an grow

After such a dramatic race this gold must be even sweeter.


No seriously, what a superior Athlete he is( with beautiful skin to boot)
Did us proud
Nice one for the Brits

East Africans, long lean and athletic
Some people are born to run. seriously, it's in their dna, scientists can't prove it but the track results do :)
They train extremely hard no doubt, but it's not just that, as we know East Africans have dominated long distance running for years. Many of the worlds most successful distance runners hailing from mountainous districts, and living and training at altitude, places them at an advantage.


Checking the 800m & 1500m schedules..
I'm missing 'stuff' without a timetable hope I haven't missed it lol

Apparently Rudisha hasn't been in the best form


Just a thought . but why dont we have more Maasai doing the high jump :-) heehee

Good morning x

Mzee & Rafiki Feat. Uhuru - Domba

I was curious to know more after a commentator suggested the track would have made more sense if sung by a woman.
Venda is a South African tribe and Domba is a female initiation phase of this tribe.
Like most female initiations this prepares girls for marriage sex motherhood and taking care of their husbands.
I dont know the details with regards to any other practice carried out but in a nutshell that's it.

The track I suggest is a celebration of this aspect of their culture.
I love Uhuru, they never disappoint musically.
The bass line is on fire.

[Additional comment found online]
"Domba was the third and final phase in Venda girls' initiation, which should have been attended after a girl had been to vhusha and tshikanda. It took place every three to five years at the head-quarters of chiefs and certain senior headman, and lasted for about one year. Its importance to the Venda was marked by the use of the bass drum (ngoma), which was also used in tshikona, the Venda national dance. There were a number of special rites and shows associated with domba"




Good morning x

Simone Manuel's Historic Win in Rio [ & a Maximum Sound Riddim Mix]

Simone Manuel won gold in Rio [click]

The first black women in Olympic history to win gold in the 100m freestyle
How amazing is that?
I recently wrote about Eric from Equatorial Guinea.. respect to him
I looked at some stereotypes and toyed with a theory [look at this, who comes up with these names lol]

Some may wonder why her colour or background is relevant.
To cut a long story short; because the absence of it has been a marker/ or symbol of a system of denial of opportunity based on colour/background.

Simone shared the podium with Canada's Penny Oleksiak with whom she shares joint 1st place.



Times are changing
Congratulations girls!



Women power



Loved the cycling...
Now let track and field commence :)
800m/ 1500m great
Good morning x
