As a teenager I used to love the song and hoped to have kids with one woman to avoid this type of plea unfortunately I ended up in the same situation and I'm still grateful for each of my kids and I'm always proud of them.
Same boots bro

It's not planned, I've ended up in the same... Only someone who is not in this can judge.
2024 and this song still hits me on a deep emotional level.
It was one of the songs my late father's would sing to me, i mostly avoid listening to it because the emotions are so overwhelming
😢 MHSRIP. 🎉
Emotional song for real.
2021 who is here
Whenever I have time I like to listen to this song, and as I listen to it I remember my mother who used to live in a place called Zambia, we were born there even though she is from Tanzania 🇹🇿, For now my mother died, 2005 We came back to Tanzania, She really left me young, I love Zambia 🇿 🇲 much more than in Tanzania, because that's where I was born, Listening to this song I Cry So Much, I Remember My Mother. R.I.P My Mother.
samahani mpendwa.unakaribishwa kila wakati zambia❤️ we re one
Rip to your mama man 🙏🙏
May Her Soul Rest in Eternal Peace
May her soul continue to rest in eternal peace. 😢
Listening to this master piece in 2024
The message in this song exactly talk about what mum shared with me as her first born son. It gives me courage to bring closer my brother and sisters that Dad had after divorcing my biological mother. Thanks mr. Simukonda for leaving us with such a wonderful message. R.I.P Mum and Dad

I'm in the same boat as you bro I love this song because it speaks of my family's life
I can relate💯
I always find myself crying listening to this song
I always hear my Dad's Advice when I listen to this song...RIP Dad...
This song talks about my life and the children i have from different mothers not that proud of it, its the life i lived with the job i had. Had my first twins with a Congo woman, send born with a Bemba woman, third with my Tonga wife from Southern province and fourth and last with Ngoni woman in Chipata Eastern Zambia. I have not seen my other children for years now because their mothers we never got along.......
You are a man
Have you tried to get in touch
You not seeing your own children has nothing to do with thier mothers not getting along, thats just your excuse. A woman cannot have the power to stop you from seeing or taking care of your own blood my brother. Please go and find them. Children are blessings. I come in peace. ❤❤❤
Lyrics below. Translation not literal. Seeks to communicate the core message of this very moving song. MHSRIP

SONG OF DAD TO CHILDREN. VERY HEART-FELT ANS AND STILL VERY TRUE AND RELEVANT. MISS MY FRIEND
I have noticed one thing in comparison between today's and long time ago music....
A long time ago music was meant to bring people together, love each other and promote unity while today's music is all about hatrage , disunity and self centered lifestyle yielding no positive results.......I can gladly say that today, 08th of may 2023 @ exactly 12:58hrs am listening to this song
The year is 2100 this song was a master piece young ones.
Where has this kind of music disappeared to how I love old Zambian Music,is this the way we gonna miss the current Zambian Music of today.MYSRIP
The legacy of this song will continue to live on
This Song is as Beautiful as the Zambian people....God did something Special in us as a people!!! My prayer is for our country, each family, to take the Lyrics of this song & translate them into Daily Living!!!
Dad am listening to this song on your behalf. RIP always love you
EVEN IN 2016 I STILL PLAY IT
touching song....reminds me of my uncle,Ackim Simukonda.two pipo sharing the same names,leading the same kind of life style en both not with us...may their souls rest in peace
I always dedicate this song to my two sisters Veronica and Constance Sakala, the message mum left with us so vividly. Thank you mum Grace.... MYSRIP
27 January 2023... Classics never die🙏🏾

Beautiful timeless piece and authentic genre original Zambian music I wonder why we drifted to always trying to copying our friends who do south African or Nigerian music and Zambian musicians wonder why it's hard to get to compete at international level and get
Great piece, reminds me of my mother's words when she was still alive. She's no more but her words still rings in my mind. I love this song
