Lyrics and Translation
Verse 1
Andinayo imali / I don't have money
Ndihluphekile / I am in misery
Thandazile / I have prayed
Kuzolunga nini / when will things be fine
Nanku ememeza / there they are shouting
Amashwa emuva /bad luck haunting them
Bunjani ubomi kwabanye bethu / how is life to some of us
Chorus
Ewe ndifile engqondweni/ yes I am dead in the mind
Inkathazo azipheli endleleni yami / my troubles never end
Yhoo yhoooo yhoo
Yhoo ii yhoo mamawe (crying for my mother basically)
Verse 02 - Ndu
Oh ilanga liyiba linye inyembezi zami ziyophenduka imvula
* (One day my tears will turn into rain)
Ithukuthuku zami zibe ibusiso izinto zibelula
* (My sweat becomes my blessings)
Sekuphele iminyaka amathuba empumelelo emphutha
* (It’s been too many years of losing all my opportunities)
Ngikhala kuwe mdali wami nawe thonga lami please phendula
* (am crying to you Lord & my ancestors ,please reply)
Ikati lilele eziko, nginjengenyoni engenampiko
* (Hunger is killing me, I’m like a bird with no wings)
IMpilo yami Yonke ngisebenzela ukufeza ezikaMama ifiso
* (All my life I’ve been working to make my Mother’s wishes come true)
Indlela zami zigcwele amashwa amabhadi
* (My Ways Are full of bad luck & darkness)
Aw nosizi sekumngani wami
* (grief is my new friend now)
Eh kwakhala nyonini dlozi lami
* (What happened my ancestors??)
Ngoba seng’basathe ak’hlangani
* (Because I’ve been trying but nothing works out)
Chorus
Ewe ndifile engqondweni/ yes I am dead in the mind
Inkathazo azipheli endleleni yami / my troubles never end
Yhoo yhoooo yhoo
Yhoo ii yhoo mamawe (crying for my mother basically)
Oh Gogo / Grandmothers
Bayakhala oGogo / the Grandmothers all over are crying
oGogo / Grandmothers
Bakhala yonke impela Sonto / They cry each and every weekend
Mama wami / My mother
Oh ngisho uMam’wami / Even my mother
Ang’samazi / I don’t know her now
Usehlala emtholampilo / Cause she’s now located in Hospital
Oh we Bafana liguqubele izulu / My male warriors the weather on our side is dark and bad
Oh we Bafana indlu emnyama ivelelwe/ My male warriors the black families are suffering
Oh we Bafana liguqubele izulu / My male warriors the weather on our side is dark and bad
Oh we Bafana indlu emnyama ivelelwe/ My male warriors the black families are suffering
I'm here after hearing this song on the icon Zambia
Me too 😊
Same. Kasazi did an amazing job on that one
Me too
Same here
Let's gather here comrades. Kasazi brought us here. The Icon Zambia 🇿🇲
Here because kasazi performed this at #the_icon_zambia🇿🇲
She really nailed it 💪
🇿🇲 Here after icon performance
Kasazi 💪🔥
Same here
As a Zimbabwean who has been living abroad for more than a decade and a half this song was written for me. For us. How long are we going to be economic slaves in our own motherland? This goes out to every Zimbabwean who has had to leave home and endure the worst of the worst in order to make a living and feed many mouths back home as an economic refugee. We have endured the most. Also to my Nigerian, Ghanaian, Congolese, Rwandese etc who have left home in search for greener pastures... Salute
Ka sepedi bare lege dika go fixa bjang kapa bjang a men never run away from his house
Much love for Zambia 💕💕
Love your comment ❤

When I become a CA, my first priority is owning 100% black owned companies. Yes, I believe in black excellence.
Wish u all the best in your endeavours brother ,the system is rigged against us
Wish you all the best my fellow Aspiring CA(SA)
I’m Gabonese and I love South Africa, you have been the leading exemple of Africa when it comes to fighting the oppression and for that you will forever have the respect of every other countries in the world. In my country the oppression is made by instrumented black government working for French Oppressors which means that I understand your struggle. We on this continent understand your struggles and we may not live the same difficulties at the same level or maybe do we. Kodwa South Africa WE STAND WITH YOU. Siyanithanda, sisonke siyazwelana buhlungu lani. Please qhubeka noku sebenza nokufunda, it’s the only option left for us poor people. Education is key , qina bafethu. I stand with you we are one 💚🖤❤️
❤this has my heart ❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Wow! Your Zulu. Have you lived in Southy?
@@bhekagasa434 No I've not. I've always loved South African film industry, so I watch a lot of soapies and movies. While watching one with the English subtitles I realised that I understood some words, as they are similar to my mothertongue, so I decided to pay more attention and learn. I memorized the language and some Google Trad is also helping :) My dream is that the whole Bantu youth realize how much we are similar, we share the same culture from Central Africa to the South !
That's beautiful. We are truly descendents of Ntu hence we are Bantus'. I'v also seen Kenyans understanding some terms from my language. For instance "ulimi". But your articulation of Zulu is tremendous for someone who didn't grow up here.
I come here everyday to hear Danya say "oGogo" 🥺🥺🥺🥺🙌🙌🙌

It's talks about fighting poverty
Ba ni da kuɗi, ni talaka ne
Na yi addu'a, yaushe zai zama daidai?
A nan ya yi ihu, da rashin alheri baya
Yaya rayuwa take ga wasu daga cikin mu?
Ee na mutu a wajen tunani
Masifa ba ta ƙarewa a hanyata
Yooh zaih
Yooh hii yooh mama weeh
Rana za ta faɗi, kuma hawayena za su koma ruwan sama
My aiki tukuru ya kasance albarka, abubuwa sun zama sauki
A cikin shekarun baya, an rasa damar samun nasara
Ina yin kuka gare ku, Mahaliccina, ku kuwa don Allah ku amsa
Cat na bacci a murhun wuta
Ni kamar tsuntsu ne marasa fuka-fuki

Hanyoyina suna cike da masifa - sa'a

3: Danya (Blaq Diamond)]
Labari Kaka, suna kuka da kakanta

I have no money, I am poor
I prayed, when will it be all right?
There he shouted, unfortunate back
What is life like for some of us?
Yes I am mentally dead
Trouble never ends in my path
Yooh yooh yooh
Yooh hii yooh mama weeh
The sun will set, and my tears will turn into rain
My hard work has been a blessing, things have become easier
Over the years, the chances of success have been missed
I cry out to you my Creator, and you my thong please answer
The cat is sleeping in the fireplace
I am like a bird without wings
All my life I have worked to fulfill my mother's desires
My paths are full of misfortune - bad luck
Even sorrow has become my friend
Hey, why did my grandfather cry?
Aw because I've already told them it doesn't fit
Yes I am mentally dead
Trouble never ends in my path
Yooh yooh yooh
Yooh hii yooh mama weeh
3: Danya (Blaq Diamond)]
Grandma, they cry grandma
Granny, they cried all weekend
Mom, oh even my mom
I can no longer, he still lives in the clinic
Ah boys changed yesterday
Ah for the boys the black house is perfect
Ah boys changed yesterday
Ah for the boys the black house is perfect
Yes I am mentally dead
Trouble never ends in my path
Yooh yooh yooh
Yooh hii yooh mama weeh
I have no money, I am poor

There he shouted, unfortunate back
What is life like for some of us?
Yes I am mentally dead
Trouble never ends in my path
Yooh yooh yooh
Yooh hii yooh mama weh
Moawia Aljack. yes, I'm dead in my mind. All triubles are not getting finished in my way. I don't have money.
@@simonndlovu9421 u so important.... Thank u so much🙏🏿🙏🏿
As a 30-year-old African man taking care of my mother and my family....This song spoke to me and my struggle before I realised what the words meant.
haiiiiiiiboooooooo iM PROUD OF BEING SOUTH AFRICAN...We have talent. This song is our situation
Last statement by the little girl is so powerful♥️♥️This is amazing
Yes that's my niece Khayaelihle Ngubane ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i am Angolan🇦🇴 but this song touched my feelings but i understood the message imali means money😣😣😣i also Love South Africa
Ndu Brown's verse gives me goosebumps 😬🔥
There's nothing more depressing like sending cv via emails, applying in work job applications and still get nothing. Only to reality, whether you do it during lock down and before that. Makes no difference because your skin color
Tell me about it ....its so depressing
eish bra its painful
Bra you can say that again.. The hardship we face😩
I hope you are keeping your head high bro and things are better for you 🙏🏾
Sjava was needed here😩😩
Sjava and Big Zulu😩
Sjava had his time, let other kids shine too
That is so true.
no it perfect the way it is
No he wasn't.
It’s been 3 years & this is still the heaviest yet most beautiful song I’ve heard in a really long time,I play it at least 3 times a day🥲🥲😭
🙏🏿✊🏿 our struggle is the same. We make it worse by fighting amongst ourselves. Despite our differences I stand for a United States of Africa. With love from Eswatini🇸🇿 to all my African brothers and sisters. South Africa is good example of the struggle and continuing process to liberation 🙏🏿
Love from the Caribbean islands 🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇹🇹🇹🇹🇻🇨🇱🇨🇰🇳🇯🇲🇬🇾🇧🇧
"...but I wont lose the battle, I can't afford to" this line slaps harder than Emcimbini + all the Amapiano songs combined😭😭
"Ithukuthuku zami zibe yiBusiso izinto zibelula"❤️
👐💓
Here after a girl performed this song at the icon Zambia 🤧❤️
I sing this song everytime and it's always on repeat... Thanks to those of you who interpreted... Love from Nigeria 💓
The first time I listened to this song I had no job,no money and no plan and the message in it gave me hope every time when I knocked on the doors looking for work I would play it on my phone to draw strength and now I’m employed thank you Ami Faku and black diamond keep doing what you are doing by encouraging people not to give up through music
This song just brought tears in my eyes and sadness in my heart. This is our reality but I have hope that one day things will change for the better but that will only happen if we unite and stop hating each other and competing with one another as a black nation. I wish more people listened to such music instead of the garbage played on Radio/TV. The world needs more artists who speak the truth and touch lives.
Lots of truth in your words MaMncube... I'm hopeful. There are pockets of unity and co-ordination. The plan to revive black consciousness and the black power movement is becoming very clear.. Ami Faku sounded like Samthing Soweto on one of her songs. It's beautiful and interesting to see that she's politically charged too.. aboMiriam Makeba, Brenda Fassie and Hugh Masekela were important in shaping societal focus - pre--94 most artists were woke. Glad to see that the wave is coming back.
It really touched my heart. I lost my beloved grandmother not long ago and I'm dreaming of her showing me the way. Just she is also showing me real light that you see everything as it is. That love is powerful.
You speak very well our nation must be joined to earn together
This is song is like an army of ancestors mourning for the sadness of Africa. It's crazy how this song echos the cries of every African child. But we shall prevail.
YES GIRL
love from Zimbabwe ,Song is fire, speaks reality, "kuyoze kube nini umunt'omnyama lokh' ethi kuzolunga" Zola
Kubi bhuti
Pple who made thumps down are those who dnt understand Zulu n Xhosa. M sorry guys thz song it digs lots of pains that we are facing as Africand. Dnt turn down your thumbs if you dnt understand stands let others explain to you.
so true my brother🌸🌷🤞🏾
It made me cry
now you explain a little bit on the song sammaries it alittle......for us.
It resonated so deep💝💖💥💫💞💗🖤
This song is just amazing 😍😍😍😍 much respect from 🇲🇿 Mozambique
Most real song and video, accurately depicting South Africa's inequality/ injustice 26 years post "democracy". God bless South Africa. Ami Faku neDaymane elimnyama did an amazing job with this one.
You got it ryt ...the song do the most
From "ngena Sandton" ngembadada to "we gogo" kusayibo labafana babili 2020 is yours Blaq Diamond
Like really😍😍😭
Even though am not South African I felt touched by this👆👍😔😔😔😔all the way from Zambia
When she says yoooohh, I hear her cries. I cry😭
Wow. Sad that most of us can relate to this song. ❣💔
This song always makes me cry. The struggle we going through 😭as youth with colour
This caught my attention even before the video started ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭
This is my 3rd day in a row 😭😭Ami s voice got me
This song Hit Hard considering we're the ones who are mostly suffering during this quarantine/lock dow/pandemic
Ooh what a true African song speaking to us, with no addition of foreign language. 💕
There's nothing beautiful as protest art. The sound is grand, the lyrics are beautiful; the song as a whole.....pure magic! 👌❤️
What are lyrics without REASON
Melody of south Africa we one from Zambia its a hit guys
That "Yoh..😭" part, is definitely one of the reasons, many searched for this.
Power! Rise up Black People! Let’s get our wealth!!!! We possess the power to create! Let’s use our gifts in our respective fields!!! When we had plantations we never starved! Amageja awashone entsimini !!! 💪
This song never gets old...I don't understand the words but it's gets go me❤️✨High key love for this track 🇿🇲✨
This reminds me of when Samthing Soweto asked "kwenzeka kanjani umuntu omnyama azalwe engena lutho?". I realize that afro pop artist are also becoming instrmental in fighting economic oppresion because they're the ones that get a hard knock when their music isn't selling well. I love this mindset. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I felt this! 😭❤️
Bro!!! 😱
Ami Faku killed it here
Much love from Botswana🥺❤
I love this song and I know even my friends in DUT they approved it
All African people must listen this song forever! 😭😭😭😭😭
I am a Kenyan man and even before she started speaking I was in tears. Its a deep weeping that only the soul understands
Our generation has the power to change all of this and fight to the death for the distribution of wealth but we're sleeping 💔
If You came here after Kasazi performed at Icon Zambia, Like the comment.🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Ngelinye langa kuzolunga asingalilahli ithemba. We will arise 👏🏾🙏
This songs inspire me "1day is 1 day 👏
Inkathazo azipheli... endleleni yam😏
Too Ami faku
As always NAMIBIA approves. Ami Faku simply amazing and as for abafana Blaq Diamond you define the meaning of your name. Your the Diamonds in the rough keep up the amazing work guy this is your YEAR💯🔥💲
It’s hard to have hope and dreams, when everything is falling apart but I can’t lose the dream ,I CANT AFFORD TO 💪🏼
I am proud to be *African* though I don't understand what they're singing but it touches my heart.
We *Black Africans* are our very own problem. We'd rather go to church and pray than work smart.
We'd rather pay tithes in hopes that some miracle will happen.
- We seat and do almost nothing feeling entitled thinking our governments will do everything for us and yet we get mad when our African brothers and sisters put in work to make ends meet when they see opportunities we willing choose to neglect. At that point, we think the best solution is to chase them away to go back to their countries as if, if we had put in work we won't have changed the narrative.
- We'd rather drag each other down just because we envy other's success. Failing to understand it's because of hardwork that they are where they are today. Rather than support them, learn from them, ask for advice and start off small and build up, we'd rather destroy everything so we all suffer together. While doing all this, the real culprit *The White Man* stands on the other side, looks at how we kill each other and laughs. While waiting to come amass everything as soon as we are dead from fighting. We really need to change OUR *MINDSETS* and *STOP* *THE BLAME GAME.* We can for sure do better.
Where is *UHURU* 💖🌍✊🏿
Facts!!!
educative entertainment, i hope this video gets to 1 billion, the world needs to hear this, and unfortunately it is africa as a whole
A huge fan here in Botswana you have in me girl, I'm glad you worked with Blaq Diamond on this one bc I love y'all both so much. This is powerful🔥🔥🥵❤

These vocals are out of this world!!!!!! Gave me shivers😶😬❤
this malungu boy loves this song!
Eish, this song just made me realize how privileged I really am. This system really isn't just to the people of colour. Sincenga ukuthandwa abelungu besizonda😭😭. We shouldn't have adopted this American model past apartheid, it was never made to benefit us all.
God is with us ... remember to make right your path with the Lord in this hard times and spread the love of Christ..so at the end we all go to heaven
Would'nt have discovered this song had it not been an AD, good job.
Last day of 2022 this has been my song ! May 2023 be better
Ami Faku is my number one artist at the moment. She is so good at what she does.
I think by far this is the best song by both male and female in mzansi in 2019
Siku 2020 brazo🖤😂... Noma you don't count it as a year since uyinxovanxova?😂
Am here because one of our favorite performed this song on the icon Zambia and because the lyrics not only speaks to south Africa but the whole world at large 😢
Just came back again after 9 months...and I still love this hit.🔥🔥🔥
Now this Africa to the World🔥🔥🔥📺
Listening all the way in Dubai, stay bless my south African people
Okay now can we please have a song with Simmy ft. Blaq Diamond. 😭❤️
Prayers get answered WHEN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT WE PRAYED FOR! May we all keep pushing 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. May God or whatever your beliefs system help u in these tough times.
SA music is lit. FACTS!!
Tell them, abezwa mos!
i dont understand a word but it sounds b e a u t i f u l 🌙 much love from germany
I accidentally stumbled upon this song, I must confess, this song takes me places.
I dont know how many times a day I play this song, it speaks to me personally and challenges me. It's a cry for hope, a call for healing, a reality for what face on a daily basis. Let's fight on, aluta continua
At some point we think the world is against us,God have abandoned us....but let's not lose hope,tomorrow is new day
This inequality it's heart breaking ✊✊✊ let's fight we can't afford to give up now
Ami why mara why? There is a special thing about your voice. I'm so touched.
Don’t listen to this type of music but dis one really speaks to me🔥❤️WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE NATION
