Holokile - Tsepo Tshola

A Night With Legends Live @Big Top Arena Carnival City 01/02/2020

I don't know how many people know this, but his wife was brutally murdered many years ago in front of her children while Tsepo Tshola was away on tour. My mother cried for months nonstop because she was her cousin. In this song he speaks of his wife in the first verse. Now they are together in heaven. Rip Ntate. Lumelisa Akhali.

I remember when I lost my job and I use to play this song and it consoled me. I have been blessed now and have two houses and two cars.I have a Mercedes-Benz and an Audi. I use to cry myself to sleep with this song. But God never gave up on me👐👐👏

O ne o nkalimile motswalle (You had lent me a friend)
Oa re putsa ka lerato (Who loved us)
Leha pelo e utloile bohloko (Even though the heart is hurting)
O entse thato ea hao (Your will was done)

Ntataise Jehohva (Lord raise me up)
Ke mofokoli wa hao (I am your poor servant)
Ke thekeselle maotong a hao (I am kneeling at your feet)
Wena mopholosi waka (You are my Saviour)

Ke bepitswe ke bohloko (Although my heart sighs in grief)
Tlholohela ya moratuwa waka (With the longing of my beloved)
Ha ke tseke Ntate (Father I don’t know)
Ke mpa ke ikopela matla (But I ask for strength)

Ntumele hle ntate (Father grant me)
Ka tiisetso le mamello (Perseverence and patience)
Ka hohle, hohle Ke leke hore (In all ways to say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

E ho lokile x2 (Yes, it is well)

Ntate ha ke sa sepela (Father while I stray)
Hole le lehae la heso (Far from my home on life rough’s way)
O nthuse ke tsebe hore (Oh teach me to say from my heart)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Seo o nkalimileng sona (What you had lent me)
Ha o re ke se busetse (When yous say it is time to return it)
Ke teng ke sa leka hore (Even then I will say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Le ha o re ke le sale (Even should you say I should stay away)
Le ba ratang ho fitisa (From those who’d forget about it)
Le mo ke sa lika hore (Still I will try to say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Le ha lefu le buhale (Even though death brings misery)
Le khaola ts’iu tsaka (And hurts my feelings)
Ke santse ke lika hore (I will still say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Fela ha kena le wena (But if I have you)
Bohloko le di hlorisong (In my pain and my sorrow)
Hohle ntate ke ntse kere (All in all Father I say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Le ha lefu le buhale (Even though death brings misery)
Le khaola ts’iu tsaka (And hurts my feelings)
Ke santse ke lika hore (I will still say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

Fela ha kena le wena (But if I have you)
Bohloko le di hlorisong (In my pain and my sorrow)
Hohle ntate ke ntse kere (All in all Father I say)
Ho lokile, ho lokile (It is well, it is well)

[canjorrie]

I’m from Kenya and I don’t understand most of the words but I have to say South Africans have a gift in music

[raymondsebeela]

you never really understand the power of this song until you suffer a personal loss. it goes in deep... RIP Ntate Tshola

[otukileskelemani]

5 years ago I lost my mom 💔, I was almost 700ks away from where she was, played the song throughout the journey and I was comforted 🥺🥺. Rest In Peace Olady 😭😭😭

[richomothapo]

I am on separation with my wife and on divorce process. This song reminds me of golden good days we had together. I miss you my love.

[phashas]

I find myself facing financial adversity after my car has been repossessed. However, I still regard myself as fortunate considering the fact that Covid has swept many souls and leaving many households devastated.

May God preserve his Strength and continue to bless us even more his his beautiful voice.

My greatest wish is for him to perform at my wedding. I should get my finances right first. Even if he can do it virtually I will still be fulfilled.

[masilomorata]

I Lost my twin Brother a week ago. This was his favorite song, he knew this song word to word. he taught me this song, I listen to it when i miss him because this song reminds me of him and the power that God has upon us. R.I.P to My boi will always Love you and you will always be in our hearts.

[tshepokaunda]

Lost my hubby same week Ntate Tshepo passed away. Played this song on burial day. 9months since I buried him. Ho lokile.

[ZonwabeleTshayana]

This is a song that whenever I am feeling down, in need of strength, when I'm feeling hopeless, I play it to lift myself up. I remember the day I lost my younger brother in 2017, I played this song throughout for days. I'd played it when I lost my grandfather in 2010. This is my comfort song. Ntate Tshola's voice delivered it in a very special way.

[matshepomofokeng]

A living legend. His voice is still the same & blessed.. We thank God for his live.

[mandisakhanyile]

I'm a Zulu girl this man touched me with lyrics I didn't even understand. Hazelmere dam over people who don't speak his language singing along. My God what a loss 😞

[khumoapril]

- Seriously man, if you are a black kid, growing up in the 90’s anywhere in this part of the Sahara, Tshepo Tshola and Sankomota’s music was a part of your childhood. It was just there all the time, it played from next door, it poured from our parent’s Omega. It played at weddings. We absorbed this music with our baby food. These are hard times. We losing people we danced with, and the people that made the music we danced to. We losing our friends and families and idols. I hope we don’t lose our minds and spirits too. Rest In Peace to the village pope. He was amazing

[letsabisakabi]

That's my young brother on the bass guitar. Well done man. Keep it up. So proud of you

[MphoSekoli]

Phomola ka khotso Ntate Tšepo Tshola, ho lokile. ❤️

[preciousdiamond]

So heart broken. Rest in eternal peace Ntate Tshepo Tshola 😭. Leha pelo di utlwile bohloko o entse thato ya gae. Leha lefu le le bogale, holokile. O nkile se ne o re adimileng sona. 15.07.2021
