"I love the combination of different languages!
Sonnie Badu is so blessed! May God continue to use him.
I cant stop dancing whenever i am listening to this. It doesn't matter where I am, I just start moving!
I love the drums too and the parago beat too."

"1. I yo hlonolofatsa ka lebitso la Ntate...means "Oh bless, bless, in the name of the Father! " Meaning Father bless whatever it is that needs blessing!
2. Jehova o lefika laka...means "Jehova you are my Rock!" Both songs are in SeSotho language, one of the many South African languages. Hope this helps.
God, in His manifold wisdom, gave humanity so much diversity in everything; languages, different nationalities, different fauna and flora, but puny man keeps fighting and warring against his neighbor instead of beholding and enjoying these gifts that God has blessed us with. Black against black, white against white, white against black, man against the beasts of the field! What a shame!!"

"The lyrics are all here. This is what I believe All African Musicians, and for that matter the local musicians should include directly to their Music on Youtube and elsewhere, to make meaning to the Whole world/Internationally.
We should not just be excited by posting videos..... they must include lyrics and meaning(in terms of local languages), like the Europeans and the Americans.
(In Shona – Zimbabwe)
Hakuna wakaita sa Jesu, (There’s no one compared to Jesus)
Hakuna wakaita sa Yee (There’s no one like Him)
Hakuna wakaita sa Jesu (There’s no one compared to Jesus)
Hakuu hakuchina (There is no other name)
Nda manya manya, kwese, kwese (I have searched everywhere)
Ndatenderera, kwese, kwese (I have run around everywhere )
Nda tsvaga tsvaga, kwese, kwese (I have looked around everywhere)
Hakuu hakuchina (There’s no other name)
(In Sotho – South Africa)
Iyo hlonolofatsa, Iyo hlonolofatsa (Iyo Bless, Iyo Bless,)
Iyo ka lebtso la Ntate (Iyo, The name of the father)
(Still in Sotho)
Jehova, O lefika laka (Jehovah, you’re my Rock of Ages)
24-7 I will praise you Jehovah
24-7 I will praise your Holy Name
(In Pidgin – Nigeria)
This kind God oo, I never see your type oo

(In Twi – Ghana)
Woayoo, Woayoo, Woayoo ewurade ye oheni (He has done it, God is king)
Woayoo, Woayoo, Woayoo ewurade ye oheni (He has done it, God is king)
(In Lingala – Congo)
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh kumama Yahweh (Yahweh/God be Praised)
Yahweh, Yahweh, Yahweh kumama Yahweh (God be Praised)
