Ndibona wena Ezinkwenkwezini ndiyathemba uyinkwenkwezi." _Simphiwe Dana.
It is so hard to translate such poetry but here is an attempt.
'Where ever you are, you are a flower. I see you among the stars and i trust you know that you are a star.'
This is Simphiwe Dana featuring Mthwakazi - INkwenkwezi, taken from DVD "An Evening with Simphiwe Dana". The song was originally released on album Kulture Noir.
Miss Dana is a consummate musician and poet she gives me such great insight into to my native language _IsiXhosa and I am grateful for that. This song blew me away, it is incredible and has a beautiful message, I hope you are moved and inspired as I am.
