    This song reminds me of my late mom. I remember how she used to sing and dance to this song in 1993, I get emotional even when typing this. Its my all time favourite ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  • Growing up herding cattle back in Wedza, Zimbabwe, singing along to this song from memory was often the only friend I had as rain soaked me in the pastures with an empty 50kg plastic Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer bag for a rain coat and the cows wouldn't stop grazing in the wet. 2021 and 28 years after, itโ€™s my friend as I drive my way to work in the West Midlands, England....different surroundings, same joy to a song that has outlived its time. Great memories courtesy of the legendary Dembo. Translation is roughly like this: How can I escape from danger/evil Only through prayer can I live There is that one I planned to do evil to, That one that wronged me, I ask (to God) that he be allowed to live (freed). I am a sinner on this planet, Who covets and kills (working) Against even those that haven't done me any wrong, I ask that I live (be forgiven). Here is a newborn, Who cries from all the pain suffered, Turn around and behold him, I ask his life be spared too. I hereby confess my wrongs so I can live. Shall the Father come? Where is he? When(shall he come)? Shall the Father come to deliver us? When shall You(Father) come in the middle of this struggle? Where is our Father in amidst all this struggle? Is our Father there to deliver us?

  • Hatitsvagi nziyo dzekare kuda kungoterera chete, todzitsvagira kuda kunzwa, tobva tafamba mundangariro tichidzoka shure makore ekare nezvaiitika, mararamiro, kutamba, hama neshamwari dzakapararira nenyika nedzimwe dzakatisiya. Tichiyenzaniso kare nanhasi, totarisa chinhambwe chatafamba. Mwari komborera Africa

  • Southern Africa stands up and give applause to the Zim legend. I am a Motswana of Kalanga origin and still listen to the legendary music of Dembo. You cannot put a price on this piece of art. He was an Artist of note. R.I.P. The longest song he has, longer than Chitekete

    What a masterpiece. 2023 & still the best song ever to be produced in zimbabwe

    those who dont understand the lyrics.... he was saying a prayer is everything. He was admiting that he is a sinner and he was asking for forgiveness. In some cases some people will wrong you but a prayer is a weapon. Ask for forgiveness and you shall live long
  • Im a Ndebele but the Love that i had for Dembo and his music made me to learn how speak and talk Shona fluently.

  • Who is with me in 2023 listening to this greatest hit that defeated the test of time?
  • Tinokumbira kurarama /Mutadzi ngaaregererwe shona to English translation. Here LKGD showed his spiritual side in this deep soulful rendition that not only touches the soul but reminds us to be prayerful in the midst of earthly problems. As usual its not easy to translate his lyrics to english because of how deeply poetic LKGD and his mastery of the Shona language. This song has many a times brought tears to peoples eyes ...its deep it interrogates and provokes human conscience ...this song alongside his namesake LKZ gomba remarara remain the deepest songs ever to be penned by any Zimbabwean in my own opinion ....enjoy ndingabude seiko mune zvakaipa....how can i overcome trangressions kunze kwekunamata ndiko kuti ndirarame...excpet praying is the way for me to live/survive ndingapunyuke seiko mune zvakaipa...how can i escape transgressions kunze kwekunamata ndiko kuti ndirarame...excpet praying is the way for me to live /survive pane uyo/ uyo uyo wandofungira mweya wakaipa..there is that someone whom i harbour dark thoughts on iye akanditadzira ndokumbirawo ararame....who has wronged me i plead that they live ndiri mutadzi panyika anochiva nekuuraya...i am a transgressor on this earth who lusts and murders seakanditadzira ndokumbirazve ndicheneswe...like those who trespass against me, i plead that i be cleansed ndiri mutadzi panyika anochiva nekuuraya...i am a transgressor on this earth who lusts and murders seakanditadzira ndokumbirazve ndirarame.....like those who trespass against me , i plead that i live/survive ndiyeka rusvava anochema zvomurwadza...here is a neonate who cries in pain tendeuka utarise ndokumbirazve ararame...repent and notice, i plead that it lives / survives ndinoreurura ini...i repent and confess kuti ndirarame....so that i live / survive vachauya here baba.. is the father /God coming? rinhiiko vachauya here baba kuzotinunura..when? is the fatber coming to rescue us muchauya here baba rinhiiko..are you going to come father/God? muchauya here baba mukati mehondo..are you going to come father/ God? in the midst of chaos
  • This song reminds me of my late father,may your soul continue to rest in peace....He used to play this song when i was still young apa ndaisaida but as i grew older i began to love it...and it always reminds me of Him๐Ÿ˜ข"vachauya here baba"๐Ÿ˜ญ@2024 im still here
