Re: Jerusalema Toddlers
It's a fabulous song, so uplifting and soulful.In case anyone is interested the translation of the lyrics :
Jerusalema ikhaya lami(English meaning: Jerusalem is my home)
Ngilondoloze(English meaning: Guard me)
Uhambe nami(English meaning: Walk with me)
Zungangishiyi lana ( English meaning: Do not leave me here)
Jerusalema ikhaya lami(English meaning: Jerusalem is my home)
Ngilondoloze(English meaning: Guard me)
Uhambe nami(English meaning: Walk with me)
Zungangishiyi lana(English meaning: Do not leave me here)
Ndawo yami ayikho lana(English meaning: My place is not here)
Mbuso wami awukho lana(English meaning: My kingdom is not here)
Ngilondoloze(English meaning: Guard me)
Zuhambe nami(English meaning: Walk with me)
Ndawo yami ayikho lana( English meaning:My place is not here)
Mbuso wami awukho lana( English meaning:My kingdom is not here)
Ngilondoloze( English meaning:Guard me)
Zuhambe nami( English meaning: Walk with me)
The song has been appropriated by the Palestinian African community to highlight their struggles therefore politicised and as some don't agree with these political messages they may dislike the song as a result.... :
here is the video which is just amazing :

Trust me, I'm not kidding.

Re: Jerusalema Toddlers
Meanwhile in Jerusalem the song makes a lot of sense for some :"al-aqsa-worshippers-protest-palestinian-evictions-in-jerusalem"
"Dozens of Palestinian worshippers have been injured in clashes with Israeli police at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City, as weeks-long tensions between Israel and the Palestinians over Jerusalem soared again.
Fifty-three people were injured in the violence on Friday evening and 23 were hospitalised, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service. It says most were wounded in the face and eyes by rubber-coated bullets and shrapnel from stun grenades.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian worshippers had earlier packed into the mosque on the final Friday of Ramadan and many stayed on to protest in support of Palestinians facing eviction from their homes on Israeli-occupied land claimed by Jewish settlers.
The spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said the evictions, “if ordered and implemented, would violate Israel’s obligations under international law” on East Jerusalem territory it captured and occupied in the 1967 Middle East war."
