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.

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?

❤❤2023 still listening to legend masterpiece

My dad’s favorite song ❤😢😢

Besides the message and the lead singer... This song is fully packed with excellency. Take time to listen to the backing vocalists, the ladies did an exceptional job. Midway through the song the bass guitarist did wonders with the strings. One thing that also stood out in this song is the rhythmic rumbling of the conga drums hmmm ... The arrangement of vocals and instruments gave this song something words can never fully explain... This is good.

Your legacy still lives on😍

Legends never dies ✌🏿😭👌
