Tanzanian music sensation Rayvanny has done it again with his latest track, Mbeleko. The song, which blends a catchy Afrobeat rhythm with heartfelt lyrics, has already captured the hearts of many. In this track, Rayvanny expresses deep affection and devotion to his lover, showcasing both his emotional side and his musical prowess.
The song opens with a reflection on the world’s superficial aspects: “Walisemaga duniaaaa, Ina mapambo yake, Ukiacha majumba pesa magari ni wanawake.” Rayvanny acknowledges the materialism of the world, where wealth and status often overshadow genuine love. However, he goes on to say that despite these distractions, his true love stands out above everything else.
As the song progresses, Rayvanny sings about the love that has completely captivated him. He admits that he’s “fallen” for his lover’s charms: “Nimezunguka nimefika kwake, Siwezi ficha nimeshanasa kwa pendo lake.” It’s clear from these words that the singer is deeply in love, and he’s willing to commit to this relationship wholeheartedly. He goes as far as describing her as “my queen, baby my only,” expressing that he doesn’t want her to go anywhere.
In a particularly emotional part of the song, Rayvanny confesses his willingness to make sacrifices for his love. The repeated phrase “Naficha mbeleko kwa ajili yako, Jiachie tu nikubebe” translates to him hiding his “mbeleko” (meaning a burden or challenge) just for her, offering to carry it for her. His promise to protect her and be there for her no matter what shines through, as he even refers to her as his “queen” who he wants to stay by his side forever.
“Jiachie tu nikubebe” (Let go, and I’ll carry you) is a recurring sentiment throughout the song, reinforcing Rayvanny’s devotion and the lengths he’s willing to go for his lover. The lyrics also highlight the physical attraction and admiration he feels for her, with references to her beauty and the way she carries herself. He sings, “Najicho lako la kungu kama lanikonyeza” – comparing her gaze to something captivating and irresistible.
The chorus is filled with reassurance and emotional depth as he promises to always be there for her. Even when things get tough, Rayvanny declares he won’t let go. The song’s vivid imagery, such as references to traditional foods like “Koleza moto tupike tembele, Kisamvu cha nazi!” adds a playful and local touch to the love story, showcasing his Tanzanian roots.
In the latter half of the song, Rayvanny’s lyrics continue to emphasize his emotional vulnerability, revealing that he has been “pulled” in by her beauty, grace, and actions. He calls her “kisura” (a beautiful woman) and expresses his willingness to build a future together, even mentioning having children.
Overall, Mbeleko is not just another love song but a heartfelt declaration of devotion. It explores themes of love, sacrifice, and admiration while showcasing Rayvanny’s unique ability to blend romance with his distinct musical style. The combination of smooth melodies, deep lyrics, and cultural references make this song an unforgettable love anthem.
As Mbeleko continues to resonate with fans, Rayvanny proves once again why he’s one of Tanzania’s top artists, capturing emotions through music and connecting with listeners on a personal level.
