Zahara - Loliwe Mp3 Download, Video & Lyrics
“Loliwe” is an amazing song by Zahara. I’m saddened to share this very song by South African talented singer and award winning songwriter, Zahara, who died on 11th December 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
May her gentle soul rest in the bossom of the LORD. AMEN!!!!!
However, Bulelwa Mkutukana, known by her stage name Zahara, was a South African iconic songwriter, singer or musician. Her music was classified loosely as “Afro-soul”, and she sang in Xhosa, her native language, as well as in English.
“Loliwe” by Zahara is a soulful and emotional piece that tells a story of hope, perseverance and faith. Sung in Xhosa, Loliwe means “The Train.”
The song uses the image of a train as a metaphor for life’s journey, symbolizing progress, opportunities and the movement toward better things.
Zahara sings about someone waiting for a train that has already left, expressing the feeling of being left behind or missing out.
However, this song is not just about loss but also about the hope of catching another train, another opportunity. It encourages you to keep going, trust the process and believe that better days are coming.
