Miriam Makeba Live at The Vatican "When I've Passed On"

[@petternilsson4393]

A legendary woman with her dignity and lovely voice.Mama africa❤❤❤ forever...

[@motherofthegreatlakes6297]

She remains our Mama Africa; and for me she is more than that. In 1997 in my year of exile in Portland,OR I had the honor of attending her concert and she signed a little book that I cherish to this day. And my life changed 200% and plus. The most handsome guy oh Mazi's band who is also the one accompanying her on piano in this video; in Portland he saw me dancing in the audience and he knew he had found "his dancing queen". Today, three handsome sons later, we are still dancing as we always celebrate our mama Africa. We send our love and blessings of Christmas and New Year to Miss Nzenzi and all the wonderful band that accompanied this extraordinary lady until her time on earth was up. Keep up her legacy.

Mukarabe Lysiane Makinto-Inandava such a beautiful love story you just told. ❤️😭🤗

[@fishelbresler9418]

Indeed a beautiful story - may you keep on dancing! When I saw Ms Makeba perform this song live in 1967 or 8 (accompanied by Sivuca on accordion), the experience was absolutely electrifying. She was a magnificent personage, and a gifted performer.

Lyrics: Wretched is a man who is born, poor in every way He will live on promises 'til his dying day Freedom from life is the only reward for me That's why I say High on the mountain side That's where my soul shall bide No markings for my grave When I've passed on Deep in my slumber-land far from the sins of man No heartache will I know When I've passed on When my trials are over And I'm stripped of all my wares I'll be free from my mortal and worldly care When all is said and done Who'll share the prize I've won Whose heart will weep and mourn When I've passed on When I've passed on

[@fishelbresler9418]

Thank you, Ms McKinzy, for the lyrics, but please note: "WRETCHED is the man..." and "When I'm stripped of all my WARES."

I absolutely ADORED (and STILL do...) MAMMA AFRIKA... from the very first time I heard her on the radio (I was ~ 3 years old at the time...), performing Pata Pata, I was HOOKED... I just got lost in the rhythm, the drums (and other instruments...), the words, AND the sound she was SO RECOGNIZED for (made with the throat - tongue...). She was AMAZING, and gone too soon. THANK YOU, DAME MIRIAM MAKEBA, for SHARING Your INCREDIBLE TALENT with the WORLD.....💜

[@marylinec6221]

Merci KZbin c est pour moi une jolie découverte je connaissais pata pata mais je découvre aujourd'hui une fantastique chanteuse

I first heard this song as a child from my brothers collection live at the Lincoln center in the 60 s.a truly powerful voice

[@b.bailey8244]

Thus gutted me. she lived the heartache - the emotion in this, profound. Thank you, Mama Africa - your work is immortal - you are remembered and loved for your gifts of song and music that brought people together, even while you were denied your beloved homeland for so many years.
