i remember the first time i heard this song. honestly one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard.

Magnifique richard bona, c’est tout simplement divin !

The only proof I've ever needed for a higher existence was music like this...

This is such a beautiful example of a master musician practicing his crat as art, that it almost makes no sense to comment on its content! It should be listened to, over and again! Thank you so much for posting this!

Rarely do we get to experience perfection. This is PERFECTION!

yeah!!!!!! in our roots this is how we do music just like a fairytale .... thx sir BONA, i'm proud to be african......

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

He only needs his bass and his voice to get the entire crowd silent and have the evening of their life.

Mother, I would not exist without you You are all cortesy and respectful to everyone and everything You are a Queen Now I'm sure of that Rising children, a toil without any crown Now, of that I'm sure Years have come and gone Now, you're tired and You may finally have some rest... (Douala Cameroonian language)

Très belle reprise MUNA TETĒ ET BELLE HOMMAGE À LA CHANSON "BADIHANI" du grand EKOKÈ ROOSEVELT . Une profondeur d'âme,une grandeur d'esprit, le MASOSO MA NYAMBE, LE DIMBAMBE ,on LES RETOUVE EN CETTE ARTISTE:l'AME DU GRAND SAWA TOUT ENTIER. Selele!!!

This is the most esoteric painful beautiful magnificent soulful sound of the universe crying out to its children and echoing forever

he has a roland Vbass module. sounds are incredible. anything from crazy synths and organs to the tastiest delays and reverbs. what a beauty

Beautiful voice with something ancient spirit of africa

Totally Magical...what an amazing voice Richard Bona took me to Beautiful places that I have never been before, just close your eyes and let yourself be gone!!!

perfekcyjne połączenie dwóch cudownych instrumentów ; natury głosu i głębi gitary basowej :)\ ... perfect combination of two wonderful instruments, the voice of nature and depth of the bass guitar :)

a bass guitar and a beautiful voice only 2 things but they sound like heaven

Probably best music there is.

"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it."

You are the one who can have this kind of performance no one but only you!

i love the voice of this men

His music makes me so happy :-)

WHATTA BEAUTUFUL SONG!!!

Pure beauty

Now that I know the words, I know what to do with it. I can dedicate them to someone appropriately, and explain the beauty behind this beautiful language.

Not taking away anything from the mastery he has of his five stringed bass and the absolute beauty of the sound... I liked the view of the clothes' peg holding his sheets together. ~

This is actually somewhat of a hymn, a prayer or a homage to 'the mother' as a figure of adoration for what it represents (or at least, should) to everyone.

I never tire of this. This why You tub is such an amazing format!

I'm speechless... Wow. Just wow...

muito bonito , sou cabo verdiano acho a sua musica simplesmente fantastico com muito sentimento.

what has happened to music.... this is beautiful i feel like this generation has lost its heart with music

I wasnt asking for the translation but thank you. I was merely commenting on the fact that things as beautiful as this serve there purpose more so when they retain they unknown-ness.

Wow., Bless him. I didin´t know a guitar could sound like that.

Très belle chanson . salut

I didn't know what an honest emotion was until I've heard Bona...

How can someone dislike this? Must have been by mistake!

@HermanTheMole - I guess for some ignorance is bliss, but FOR ME, I like an understanding, and to know what someone is singing and saying. They could be saying anything. So THAT'S HOW I FEEL, AND I'M GLAD TO EXPRESS IT, JUST BECAUSE I CAN, as I see there were many, who didn't post here, who were even more moved and more appreciative to know the words!

Bona forever!

@keemer08 "Dina Lam" means "My name". This song is a celebration for all the mothers. The beginning starts as sort of a prayer. Then talks about the past, about all the difficulties and deceptions his mother may have suffered. The second : "Mother, I would not exist without you. You are courteous and respectful to everyone and everything. You are a Queen. You toiled and raised your children without a crown. Years have come and gone. Now, you're tired and may finally have your rest. BEAUTIFUL!

good music!!!
