01. Va shinyori

😂😂Those  emojis are for those who thought sivara yiya endla vuntswaka, Anyway what an opening from Mayengani. Twana introduction ya kona vakhegula na vakhalabya vahleketa hi nkarhi wa vuhlangi bya vona, Wayitwa mpepe leyi yinga kona yiva hleketisa muchongolo. Slow jam xiendla new age ya vatsonga va hlanya kunene loko swi hlangana na the golden voice ya Mayengani. Va Shinyori i perfect introduction given the time of the year laa album yinga huma hi wona. I minkarhi yaku vanhu vaba ti 6 to 6 "ningangu nghunyutisa rize rixa dyambu" leswi swingo hingava busy the whole night kungari naku karhala.

The song can also be taken as a complimentary song ka Vahlengwe hikwavo. Ka risimu leri mayengani also gives regonition to his fan base from Xigalo,Giyani,Tzaneen na Hluvukani(mpumalanga). if i was to rate the song i would give it 9/10. Benny Mayengani anga siyangi nchumu on this song.

02. Malambani

"Benny yeeh Benny yeeeh" u switwa taha suka ku la tiya ku vuyeni, ntiyiso wa mhaka Benny Mayengani angase tshama a humesa album kungari na risimu rakuti ndhundhuzela. "N'wana Bava malambani xipfukile" this line yiswi endla swiva clear ku ni vuyile to all those who thought ni wile, Loko dyiyisa mahlweni utwaa ku "N'wana Bava malambani xilo pfuka" this line kova reassurance yaku se nikona and there's nothing you can do. However on this song his  context i vanhu lava vanga byaleni and yena he appeared then he was welcomed hi makwela na swivuvutani.

"Niva kume valo tshama, ni mbarile mpahla yo durha nicherile na cologne leyo durha. ni xava byala nithle ni famba,vaku xihiza lexi mali xiyi kuma kwini?" Loko vaku tiva hiku pfumala then the next minute u tata tafula hi mirhundzu yati ntsumi swoboha kuva na swivutiso. This line when you take it to musicical context majority thought that Mayengani is going to fall after parting ways with those he used to work with but to their suprise the guy is still on and dominat  ka industry. 

Kuna that line yingo "Van'wanyani vaku i swa yena, Van'wani vaku ulo lomba. Mibyela manghovo ata teka hiku mina aswini fanelangi" on this line, You might be aware ku at some point swize swinga duma ku Benny u bohile and some disputed that claim hence utwa aku van'wani vari i swayena, van'wani vaku ulo lomba. Lava vango ulo lomba hi lava avaku u bohile then kuva na lava vango i swa yena kunga lava va pfumelaka eka nyiko ya yena. 

"Byelani manghovo ata teka hiku mina aswini fanelangi" this line kova ku since miri against ku humelela ka mina you better take my gift and give it to those who you think deserve the gift. in short this line kova middle finger to all his haters.

03. Mhana Divhixini

"nghoma leyi ni bela vavhana lava vanga hloma". loko uri vukati you will definately wait and hear ku mayengani umi khomele yini n'wina minga tekiwa. this song is very necesserary to the album tani hilokohi switiva ku album should be inclusive. ka this track ku kandziyeriwa lavaya vo famba ti n'anga va fambela va vanuna. "lebya tinhlanga mhee ani naveli" this line yi suka ka makwapeni yiya ka lava vanga vukatini, vabyeriwa kuri va tirhisele vavanuna ti n'anga kuri vata kuma vukati hiyo mhaka vari na tinhlanga.

this song kuya rila vavhana ku tsaka magele-gele. "wehe una vukati mhee nikhome n'wanuna" this line it simply support that line yaku "swidakwa ngopfu swilo leswa n'wina, swi vuya na mpundzu". leswo vavhana lava vanga tekiwa va sala nati yindlu kwale vukatini loko vavanuna vaha humile na swirhandzwa swa vona.ka tika maxaka.

04. Ya rila qhambi

Benny Mayengani a humesa album kungari naku mpfekula hitaku hlupheka ka yena swingava xihlamariso eka votala. "Nhlampfi leyo khandziya nsinya ayi beriwi mavoko swa yila" maxaka nhlampfi yi hanya endzeni ka mati loko yoti kuma a henhla ka nsinya kuve na swin'wani swoka swinga fambangi hi ndlela. Hiku komisa swo vula ku manyala aya beriwi mavoko.

"Niku yooh hahani niku yohh, swisungurile swinyenyani swaka n'wina, masungurile matuva yaka n'wina.swi hleka na dyambu swi cina na n'weti. mhe nito rhurha niya tshama portuguse, la kaya nita vuya hi mphlo ntsena" eka risimu leri ku yimbeleriwa hi muti lowu vakarhataka hiswa vusiku. Va tshamela ro yevula timbuti ku endliwa mpahlo mara still aku lunghi nchumu.

"Ndengeza anaha ngheni vanga dlaya va kokwani,  vanga heta va malume" leyi line yo tiyisisa ku ku le ka Ndengeza ku hetiwe maxaka ya yena.  "takarhi ta yevuriwa timbuti" timbuti leti ti tirhisiwa ku endla mphahlo hoping kuri things will change  mara kunga ncici nchumu.

"Mhani N'wa maxalani hi waloye lowo boxa  ndzeleko hi nkondzo se u vula vula hiku famba,xa duma xibebe ku duma N'wa Mintwa" switi  komba ingaku ka muti lowu ikhale vakha va rhurha kambe munhu loyi angana rito ro hetelela i N'wa Maxalani hiku ulo na humelela xibebe xiduma xi kongoma ka n'wamitwa ku hambaniwa naswo tala.

La ka leri risimu ni buba bubile maxaka,if you can do it better pfunani hiku ka tika.

05.Vuya hinga vuyi

Leri risimu loko kuri u tiva nkondzo wa tuva kusuka ka yena benny mayengani, aswi mbambeleki ku khalanga wanted to give his fans what he once gave them. ku ngava kuri vulolo kumbe iku pfuxelela ntirho wa yena wa khale?

Vuya hinga Vuyi is all about death ku once u raha bakiti akahari naku tlhelela ndhzaku. "vutommi i riendzo" loko munhu a endzela ndhawu u languteriwa ku vuya kambe on this song he later states that aku vuyiwi la hiyaka kona because akuna qwetha la hiyaka kona leswi vulaka kuri there is no one who is going to advocate ku vanhu va vuyela ndhzaku.

Hlavu The Gupta did wonders on the song when it comes to instruments naku i rework ya nkondzo wa tuva aswi jampi.

06. Swa vukati

"Vonani tini dyela na mavele ninga rimangi nhlalukweni" vunanga byina xiyenge loko swi fika eka ntlakuso wa ririmi. Xana i yin swin'wi dyelaka mavele anga rimangi nhlalukweni?. leswi dyelaka enhlalukweni hi xitalo i timpfuvu tani hi loko ti hanya enambyeni. Xana  hikwini enhlalukweni ? nhlalukweni hile gangeni ra nambu la makhukhulwa matalaka ku nonisa loko nambu wu tale ngopfu, So ku rima kona swina mbuyelo wa kahle tani hiloko ku nonile.

Loko aku tini dyela ninga rimangi nhlalukweni u vula ku maxangu man'wi landzelela hambi a ringeta ku fambela kule na wona. leswi swingo vukati bya yena byile thyakeni. "Rihlanga ra nambu ra lewa-lewa" leyi line yo kombisa ku eka vukati bya yena akuna stability. 

Risimu hiku komisa is all about someone loyi anga lahlela thawula eka mhaka ya vukati.

07. Nkuku wa machoni

Xana nkuku wa machoni i yini naa? kungava ku vuriwa nkuku lowu ringaku hi matakuxa?. Nhlamulo ya xivutiso yile ndzeni ka risimu. "se wu pfuxa vambi vati ngoma, wanga pfuka n'wana Sikiza" ntshaho lowu wuhi hlamusela kahle la ku vula vuriwa hi nkukuwa matakuxa.

Risimu is about muti lowu va karhataka hi rifu. Ku lovile vatswari and other elders. Xiyimbeleri xihi byela hi la swinga affect the comimg generations. "A ma fele ya kokwani ya rilisa" leswi swingo ku love vatswari va vatswari ya yena then loko nkarhi wuya wukha wu famba aku "a mafelo ya mamani ya rilisa" leswi swingo se ku loveriwa yena.

The song is all about a family where they are battling with death. Ku love kokwani wa yena then later on ku lova vatswari va yena leswi swi endlaka kuri kungavi na a stable foundation eka muti nwaka vona.

"A vusiwana ni beburiwe na byona mina, a vusiwana byi kurile la muntini wa bava,a vusiwana byi akile la muntini wa bava, byi thlela byi mila."

The above line yi tiyisisa impact ya rifu eka muti waka vona since vanhu lava a vafanele ku khoma muti va tshamelaka ku lova.

08. My love

Risimu riya ka lavaya avari busy hi trend liya yo "it will end in tears". risimu ira vanhu hikwavo lava ava rila hiswa marhandzu. actually there is nothing deep on this song. mhaka nkulu ya risimu akuri ku thova lava vanga tshoviwa timbilu naku kuma high rotation as we all know ku hi hanyela ku rhandza naku rhandziwa.

09. Nkavi yo basa

Leri risimu ri entile maxaka anyway ahi ringeteni kuri tshovelela. Leri risimu ri vula vula hi n'wana/munhu loyi a lavaka ku tiva kusuka eka maxaka ya yena. Maxaka lama ya yena kungava kuri ka malume kumbe eka hahani. U lava ku tiva kuri xin'wananga xi helele kwini?

Benny Mayengani la ka risimu leri u vula vula hile maxakeni ya yena yaka Muhlava, Lava  ava hehlaka kuri va khendle hi yena aha  dya vuswa hence mitwa that line yaku "la mbomba vutomi la mina, Phela vateke malembe ya mina vaengetela ka malembe ya vona"  the line simple means ku eka vutomi bya yena akaha fambi nchumu because things that were supposed to be his are no longer his but swiya eka lava vanga khendla hi yena.

Since va khendle hi yena ku laveka nkavi yo basa kuendlela kuri yena a tshuxeka hiyo mhaka utwa line yaku "se miri niyayi teka kwini nkavi leyo basa" loko risimu riya mahlweni u kombela papa yena lava vanga lova kuri vabyela kokwani wa yena kuri yena anga dyangi tihomu ta vona hence kuri na that line yingo.

"He bavo, He Bavo, He Bavo rharhi Bavo. a wuva byeli wena kokwan.  A wuva byeli kasi kokwani. Mina aniti dyanga ti homu ta vonoo. Mina aniti tivi tihomu ta vono, Se niyayi teka kwin nkavi leyo basa" 

 Loko kuri ava khendlangi hi yena swi vula kuri la maxakeni ya yena vasale vahangalasa rifuwo ra mukhalabya then mukhalabya kunga kokwani wa kona se u lava ti homu ta yena kumbe nkavi yo basa ku endlela kuri ava rivalelela. That might be the reason yaku aku Bava yena yi byela kokwani wa yena kuri yena angati tivi ti homu ta yona. 

"Vaka Jesi ava lunghangi. Ka miluko aninge ngheni. Loyi anga dlaya Kokwani wa loya. Loyi anga dlaya PaPa mina wa loya. loyi anga dlaya Mhana mina wa loya."

 Based on the above line vaka Jesi kungava kuri maxaka ya yena lava ava lumbetaka kuri  va teke malembe ya yena va ngetela ka malembe ya vona kuri vata hanya malembe motala. vaka Jesi is the same people lava ava vutisaka kuri xana xin'wananga xihele kwini.

"Naswi zondha swi vula vula, miri mina niya tshama kwini?."

Ntshaho wolowo wuri nexe  wu komba kuri yena angaswi rhandzi swi vula vula leswi swinga kona exikarhi ka yena na maxaka ya yena. Lexi xinga kona iku yena a huma hibya mutshwa that is the reason why mitwa ku se miri mina niya tshama kwini.

Loko a pfala risimu u vula marito yaku:

"hosi Siyandhani awuni nyiki xitandi, niya mbala swa mavala"

Hikuya hi risimu yena u vula vula hile vuhosini eka Muhlava , ntiyiso wa mhaka iku awunge soli vale vukosini u ala waha tshame tikweni ra vona hiyo mhaka a ehleketa ku tsutsumela ka Siyandhani. Loko aku uya mbala swa mavala angava a vula  Tinjeti since a karhata hi vale hansi.

10. Sivara na Dlidlimbeta

akuna nchumu xakuxi vula laa maxaka.

11. N'watinyonga

One of the bigggest songs eka album leya Mayengani, Leri risimu riya nwisa vanhu byala ku vava. Lebya swisuti swikulu byi vuyeriwile hiku byiya tongisa swona ntsena lomuya ku hungasiwaka kona. Lebya majita byo kota ku tirhisa xisuti hambi byingari na mali leri risimu byiya koka vatwana hi rona lomuya mabyaleni. Considering the time of the year which the album was released Nwatinyonga was necessary for domination ya Mayengani a mabyaleni.

loko hi thlelela eka ti instrument ta risimu, ti tirhiwile swinene vatsonga lavaya vo vona ava yingiseli xi gaza swa endleka vati kuma vakha va olola xisuti vanga heti.

12. Nyatsi

As usual Benny ange humesi album kungavi naku tirhisa Sesotho/ Northen Sotho or Tshivenda reason being that he is aware that he has fan base outside vatsonga.
