Aug 20, 2008 - im a white african and this means just as much to me as it does to any african. im no hippie but i dont get why whites and blacks cant get along. i have black friends and white friends. i lived with blacks and whites in africa for years and we all got along. why cant it be like this in the us.

Aug 20, 2008 - I'm half white and half black. Tell me, why can't a white person sing this song? This song can be sang by everyone. read the lyrics before being all racial!!!

Aug 20, 2008 - by the way, this song was originally sang by Zimbabwean/Rhodesian(at that time) mine workers. It was originally sung in isiNdebele, a Nguni language spoken in Zimbabwe, a very close cousin to Zulu. The original lyrics went "Stimela s'phume Rhodesia" It has evolved. A beautiful song indeed. Makes me proud to be part of it's history.

Aug 20, 2008 - By the way here's the lyrics. Copy from WikipediaThe lyrics differ from recording to recording, as do the transcriptions. Here is one example:A rough translation: Move fast on those mountains train from South Africa. You are running away on those mountains train from South Africa.

Aug 20, 2008 - Lovely, really enjoyed this version. There's something so moving in this song, the rhythm with the Djembe and the melody. I like what he does with it but not really the orchestra bit.

Aug 20, 2008 - The africans peoples must to be proud even if you are come to the north or south.I think this song could be symbolize the unity of african people. Each time i heard this song i'm feel proud to be an african man. i was born in comoros is the litlle island between madagascar and mozambic and i'm so proud of this country. In african you didn't need to have money. If you have it it's good but if you havent got it deosn't matter.God Bless africa.

BelgianMusic Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Wow... Helmut Lotti is Belgian too (not that we're proud of that), in case you didn't know. And it's my impression that the average Belgian is a tad more worldwise than the average monolingual Brit who gets everything from Anglo sources.Carry on, old chap.
