Probably the greatest Zambian song ever written. The level of complexity is impeccable. Written in short idioms. The song is written from different perspectives of parents and children at different times, when the parents are alive and from the children's experiencing the things they were warned about. PK. The professor indeed.
it talks about the vulnerability of getting orphaned at a very young age. The sorrowful message in the song is enough to make someone eyes go watery. Mid way in the song the and towards the end of the song, the skillful lead guitarist brings in a new sense of hope in a hopeless situation that even though things looks gloomy there is always light at the end of the tunnel. may God bless the orphans .
It's bad what some uncles and aunties do mistreating their nieces and nephews forgetting that the same can help them one day even better than their own biological children it's bad.
