Tonight I accidentally found this song, it's late and everybody is sleeping. It's just me and the moon enjoying this moment which will pass and forever fade away, since it can't be never again repeated in the same way. Greetings from Serbia

[@crowdedcrow3098]

Hold those moments inside your heart, hold them tight. I can imagine such an interlude, we never want them to pass, do we? Your post is beautiful, I'm glad I happened to see it. By fate or happenstance, I am grateful. Greetings from Oregon, United States. 💕

Here I am sitting in Costa Rica in the afternoon listening to the birds in the trees and this song and thinking about the moon shining over Serbia.

[@revuerevolution]

Makambo is taken from lingala, a language spoken in Congo-Brazza and Kinshasa by Bantu people and that has strange common resonance with Zulu sometimes. Lingala is very emotional, a very poetic language where few words say it all and this is exactly what Geoffrey Oryema does, here. Hardly translatable. That said, the song is a lament from someone who is sad because people are gossiping about him and badmouthing him (a common human, destructive exercize). He feels heaviness in his heart: he has a lot of problems (makambo), he is all his problems. So for the lingala part, here are the lyrics: Oh ngai na makambo eh → Oh, I am deep in trouble Ngai na makambo eh → I am deep in trouble Likambo na motema → There's a problem in my heart Songui-songui bandeko → People keep badmouthing me, my friends RIP Geoffrey Oryema and thank you for this beautiful piece. Kende malamu (means "May you go in peace" in lingala)

[@juniorocira8726]

Thanks so much @Murielle Mobengo.. I used to wonder what the Lingala part meant. I am an Acoli so I will add the translation for the Acoli part.. Lutuwa wun wuwek lweny ---- > My people stop fighting Wun wupara ki leb Acoli ba lutuwa ------> You worried about me in Acholi language Wun wupara ki leb Munu ba lutuwa -----> You worried about me in using the white man's (munu) language (leb) Lutuwa lutuwa lutuwa ..... ---------> My people, my people my people It is worth noting that Mr. Oryema had to flee the country to exile at such a very young age, Only God knows the problem he went through knowing your father was murdered and now you in a foreign land, only God knows how tough those times was, our people could not do anything to save him, they only could worry and hope God would keep him. This is why he says his people worried about him in Acoli language and also the white man's language. Mr. Geoffrey Oryema is also telling his people to stop fighting, stop fighting.. because during this time, Northern Uganda was undergoing war (rebellion) that turned to the killings of local people and most of the people involved in this killing were fellow tribes men. The Acoli culture has alot in common with what you have said about Lingala.. The tone of how a word is sang and emphasized makes it very important with emotions and cut deeper into the soul.. Most of the world's problems can't be well articulated, they can only be felt.. And music is the way we can save the emotions that can speak to generations across time and space.

Hello 👋

[@ManleyMachines]

I wish I could like this 1000 times. I heard this song years ago when the movie came out, might have even had the soundtrack and it touched me even then as a 20 year old with no cares in the world. In the 23 years since I haven't once thought about it, but today I came across it and it unearthed an amazing amount of emotion. So much Ive gained and lost over those years. In the next few days I have a few scans for something that might be very bad, and Im scared. This song made those emotions uncontrollable.

I firstly heard this song few years ago. Here, in the Czech Republic, I went to Mokoomba concert. They were performing in the quite small town in the north. I went alone, I was curious, because I didn't know who they were. Except their own songs, which were absolutely outstanding, they played this song too. I didn't know it wasn't their song, but that was the only time I heard a soul. It has a huge effect on me. I couldn't even speak the language but it was the last thing that mattered. I just listen to the music, close my eyes and left the music went through my veins. I felt like I was in heaven and hell at the same moment trying to rescue myself, trying to fight my demons. Then I totally forgot this song exists. Nowadays, several years later, I felt like I needed to listen to african music, I love it and it calms me and I needed some mix to study. I randomly picked one, and the first song which came out, was this one. And suddenly I feel like I just need to relax, slow down and remind myself who I am, who we are, where we came from and what life means. This is what this song means to me. A reminder that we are all the same, we all are human beings, we all deserve love, peace and life.

Such a beautiful song, the echo is so haunting!

[@krazygurlize]

This song touches my soul so deeply and in such a way that makes me cry, makes me think of where my life is going, and where I hope to be when it's my time to leave this earth and soar among the stars.

My husband and I fell in love to this song decades ago. When I hear it, I’m back there with him.

Everybody needs to appreciate the genius that is Brian Eno. He produced this gem and many, many other iconic tunes too..

Durante muchos años pensé que esta canción era solo un fondo instrumental de una escena en la película "Al diablo con el diablo"; siempre me fascinó por la paz, la calma y la resiliencia que transmite ese arpegio, pero ahora vengo a saber, gracias a Shazam, que es una canción real y me encanta poder tenerla disponible para apaciguar mi alma cuando lo necesite.

A calm, yet painful melancholia. Such a beautifully made song ❤️

I can't begin to explain how deep the mushroom experience can get listening to this by a fire, but thank you to the creator for some unforgettable times

[@ossendry]

I heard this song also through a mushroom journey. This song is so intense and beautiful
