It took 25+ years for me to find this legendary song and listen to it one more time :( I don’t know how to express my feelings. Been long time and I didn’t even know the name of it, who composed it, what language it was.. The only thing my ears remember all the time for more than 25 years was how great that trumpet solo and melody were. I almost lost my hopes if I can find it and listen to it again. I was probably something between 10 and 15 years old it was in a cassette where it was randomly recorded from a radio by someone. The most incredible part of the story that this song was maybe a kind of sign that tells me that I will be spending 5 years of my life in Johannesburg, around 10000km away from my home. I had no idea what he is talking about when I first listen to it. Now, I know..

I play this song every morning to start my day. I find it very uplifting and it gives me a deep spiritual feeling. I try to sing the words, I have no idea of their meaning but they sound immensely beautiful and the tune always gets me on track for the day ahead. Hugh Masekela was one hell of a musician, composer and human being and sadly his like will never be seen again but his wonderful music will live forever.

This is the version we first loved in London in the 80's when apartheid was still terrorising the people of South Africa. One of the most beautiful and powerful pieces of music ever. Thanks HM and fare well.

@@robjackson5245 I think it goes back earlier. I remember listening to it in Ireland before I emigrated in 1986. What a powerful song and performance all round. The rhythm section, the trumpet, the vocals and backing vocals, the production - everything. The 12" single vinyl version on a great sound system has left a lasting memory.

There is a train that comes from Namibia and Malawi There is a train that comes from Zambia and Zimbabwe, There is a train that comes from Angola and Mozambique, From Lesotho, from Botswana, from Zwaziland, From all the hinterland of Southern and Central Africa. This train carries young and old, African men Who are conscripted to come and work on contract In the golden mineral mines of Johannesburg And its surrounding metropolis, sixteen hours or more a Day For almost no pay. Deep, deep, deep down in the belly of the earth When they are digging and drilling that shiny mighty Evasive stone, Or when they dish that mish mesh mush food Into their iron plates with the iron shank. Or when they sit in their stinking, funky, filthy, Flea-ridden barracks and hostels. They think about the loved ones they may never see again Because they might have already been forcibly removed From where they last left them Or wantonly murdered in the dead of night By roving, marauding gangs of no particular origin, We are told. they think about their lands, their herds That were taken away from them With a gun, bomb, teargas and the cannon. And when they hear that Choo-Choo train They always curse, curse the coal train, The coal train that brought them to Johannesburg. Songwriters: Hugh Masekela, Emile Dernst, Diana Wynter Gordon. For non-commercial use only.

RIP Hugh Masekela.Por sinal findou a sua missão nesta terra…tanto rogou que Deus lhe concedesse uma missão [Thuma mina, Send me] para dar a mão pelos acamados, pelos alcoólatras, pelos drogados, pelas vitimas de violência e abuso, e não só...a música foi o seu instrumento e fê-lo na medida certa, com perfeição paixão e muito activismo e profissionalismo.
