SIMPHIWE DANA MAYINE (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

MAYINE tells the tale of being cursed and shackled by a lack of self-awareness.

[@thokozanimbambo50]

Shout out to all those who are suffering in silence with depression and anxiety. May you be healed!

[@fikilesondela9969]

Thank you.

Simphiwe's voice IS GOLD !! Yoh .. never get used to this song. This is a true icon !! 💕

[@djmkrisanas.a9581]

This is both ancient and futuristic at the same time, totally out of this world. I still love it in 2023 absolute majic.

[@portiamazibuko6350]

My best friend named my 1st born baby girl Yana, as in (Yana imvula) she said because she remembers how I used to play this song every Sunday at our apartment in University ❤❤

[@letlotlosibanda]

She wrote this song for Mam' Busi Mhlongo during her last days in this realm of life as she was struggling with cancer.

I was and will always be so captivated by this song. Something ancient and mysterious. For some reason it takes me back to an ancient life that I once lived, a feeling I know but which I cannot explain. I love and I love you and your music Simphiwe Dana

[@ruthkiviet3876]

I feel exactly the same way listening to this song, it's ancient and goes deep and speak to your soul. I love all Simphiwe's songs❤

[@keithhlongwane6863]

Sometimes I wonder why our country can't cherish and preserve such artist and keep them going at all costs...So as to keep such talent going in music for as long as the artist can...I still think the department of Sports Arts and Culture needs a unit that is focusing on doing this....Big up my Sister where ever you are I hope you have not lost the flame....Siyabulela Ntombi Yakokwethu.

Today, I feel heavy, sad, tried of being tried, fed up of crying every night but yet i still wait for God plus my ancestors to answer my prayers, it's been a long journey of pain,hurt and suffering,but I do have hope that one day, I will come out of this dark place with everything,I have ever dreamed of. And my blessings will rain on me .... 👑🦅

By far my favourite Simphiwe Dana production!

[@victorndawo1229]

Only Simphiwe can make "sad & crying" sound so lovely... I love this song... great music!!!

[@yangaziwele9287]

I just drift to a far off place every time I listen to this song. Powerful.

[@TheLoxionKasie]

Interesting :-). Somehow, I'm captivated. This is the first song of hers that I've instantly fallen in love with. I can see myself in a smokey bar. A dim-lit room situation, with a smooth drink in my hand. I can see the guitarist plucking away at the strings. I can picture the guy on the conga drums going "ding'", "ding", "ding", "ding-ding". And I can picture Simphiwe and her backing vocalists going "Mayineeeh". Maybe I just miss Joburg, seeing as I'm not home. Anyway, show me the repeat button

[@nevillecharlton8260]

This is such a beautiful comment, it really depicts how I imagine this jam, I hope you have managed to visit this beautiful country in the last few years?

Me and my twin brother at the age of 11 or 15 we used to laugh at her songs and the way she dressed - only did we know before we even reached 20 we would eventually be fond of her music. I love this woman.

[@peteryenga2307]

Wow this is a cornerstone of a pure African heritage..... I feel connected to her...

[@simphiwemkhatshwa6779]

Simphiwe performed this song at the Joburg Theatre this year, instantly became my new fav from her (sorry Bantu Biko street). Now looking for the lyrics, somebody please share.

[@BunnyWrightEllis]

I can't understand a word, but I love her sound.

[@matsatselandlovu9488]

The message is not in what she says, believe me, I am a Zulu and she sings in Xhosa which is almost the same...but symbolism speaks volume.

[@jolouis5537]

You can look up the lyrics!

[@Khokhovah]

It’s poetry, don’t worry about the words. Let the song take you there… wherever “there” is 😊

[@mvuyisimbanjwa4907]

This song is a dope, indeed but l can't resist the final part 5:35,the transition, unimaginable but beside everything though l find her music with that of Mazwayi somehow so similar with the element of activism.

[@phindilensibande3130]

Powerful song it takes you to another unknown world

someone tell me about this song yuuuh

[@fikinaturally_fikiswa2925]

Those of you that are looking for lyrics, please buy the CD - they are written on the cover of the cd and also there is English transalation of the meaning of each song. If music to your soul is like afternoon rain showers on hot summer's day -then you need this CD in your collection (it's a must have and definately timeless).

This is indeed a very beautiful song even if I do not understand the lyrics. I also bought this CD. Mayine is by no means the only great song on the CD.

[@khanyisa7373]

The song is mayine. Mayine means the rain must fall. The song is about being overwhelmed by your own emotions. She's likening sadness with drought. Sadness consumes her even in her sleep. She's summoning her tears, the rain to wash away her pain.
