This beautiful song was sung in metaphors. Literally he is singing about taming oxen so that they help the owner with ploughing the fields. The title of the song 'Ndakuvara' translates to 'I was physically hurt/injured'. Those who grew up in rural Africa know how dangerous it is to tame oxen (they can knock you down with their sharp horns, breaking your limbs.) That is why he sings 'pakupingudza mombe ndakuvara' meaning I was physically hurt while taming my oxen. The song says when herding my cattle, I had hope that my oxen will help me one day obviously with ploughing and performing other agricultural duties hauling carts etc. Metaphorically, taming oxen translates to how parents put hope in their children making sacrifices so that they will help them when they become successful in life, but sadly some lose their cultural values & forget their parents when they make it in life, hence 'Ndakuvara' which now translates to psycho-emotional breakdown. That's why the old man in the video looks very concerned with his only son who has gone wild abusing drugs, alcohol & gambling. ***The song reminds us not to forget our parents and guardians who put their hope in us as we grow up.

[@frankdzimba817]

I just knew the meaning of Ndakuvara told by a fellow Zimbabwean colleague at work. Now i've just got one more with you, that's nice

[@delightchewe3496]

Succinctly put. You should do this more often. Even those who understand shona might not know the deeper meaning unless explained in simpler terms

[@pililachongo552]

Wow ok in one Zambian language Ngoni we say 'paku pinduz'ya ngombe' meaning wen turning the cow. thanks for the translation love this song

[@TawazMarara]

​@@pililachongo552 true, there are some phrases/words that are common in Southern Africa which point out that we are one people.

[@shaniashava900]

It's not easy to raise a child who has lost his values and culture. ...that's what the song basically talks about ...we miss u Tuku 🇿🇼

[@Everything-Emkay]

Thank you for explaining the meaning behind

[@collingskatete]

The legend... forever will be remembered..i still love tuku music...

[@lonewulfmo9128]

The question you as one of members of society should ask is why would a child loose their values and culture? Out of sheer stubbornness and stupidity?

[@lonewulfmo9128]

I by the way am an African. I gre up in the city and my father was never interested in me. There was no need to learn much about him or his culture.

[@bantuchidz]

@@lonewulfmo9128I can relate 🇿🇼 Learning myself the long way, re-connecting each day
