Lucky Dube is a great Reggae star from South Africa. This song tells the story of a child whose father has left home to go to the city to find work in order to support his family. The result is a fatherless home and a broken home. This is the story told by the child.
This song was born in the troubles of apartheid. It is also the story of many Zimbabwean families today as family members must go to South Africa, Botswana or beyond in order to support families back in Mugabe's Zimbabwe.
Listen to the words carefully. And cry along.
