Licha ya kuwa imepita miaka mingi tangu alipofariki Gwiji wa Muziki wa Reggae Lucky Phillip Dube bado nyimbo zake zinawashila Wananchi.
Hata ukipita vijijini mbali kabisa na miji,kati ya watu 100 utakaokutana nao nakuzungumza nao,walau watu 10-20 wanawajua baadhi ya wanamuziki.
Ukitoa swali kwa wananchi wakutajie walau wanamuziki 10 Duniani basi tegemea jina la Lucky Dube kuwa miongoni mwa wanaotajwa.
Siku ya leo nakuletea mashairi ya wimbo mmoja wa Lucky Dube ambao ni maarufu sana ujulikanao kama Remember me…..
Remember Me ni miongoni mwa nyimbo zinazogusa hisia za watu wengi kutokana na ujumbe wake wa kina kuhusu maisha, mahusiano na kumbukumbu.
Kupitia wimbo huu, Lucky Dube anazungumzia hofu ya kusahaulika na umuhimu wa kukumbukwa na wale tunaowapenda.
- Ujumbe Mkuu wa Wimbo
Kiini cha wimbo ni ombi la mtu kwa wapendwa wake wasimsahau. Lucky Dube anaonyesha kwamba mali, umaarufu na mafanikio vinaweza kupita, lakini kumbukumbu za mtu katika maisha ya wengine ndizo zinazodumu.
- Maisha ni ya Muda
Wimbo unakumbusha kuwa maisha ya mwanadamu duniani si ya milele. Kila mtu atafika mwisho wa safari yake siku moja. Kwa sababu hiyo, watu wanapaswa kuishi kwa upendo, heshima na kufanya mema ili waache alama nzuri katika jamii.
- Thamani ya Mahusiano
Lucky Dube anasisitiza kuwa mahusiano ya kifamilia, urafiki na upendo wa kweli ni muhimu kuliko vitu vya kimwili. Mtu anapotoweka duniani, mara nyingi kinachobaki ni jinsi alivyoishi na namna alivyowagusa wengine.
- Mtazamo wa Kijamii
Kama ilivyo katika nyimbo zake nyingi, Lucky Dube anatumia muziki kuhamasisha mshikamano wa kijamii. Anaonyesha kuwa watu wanapaswa kuthaminiana wakiwa hai badala ya kusubiri hadi mtu aondoke ndipo waanze kumkumbuka.

REMEMBER ME-LUCKY DUBE
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
You left for the city
Many years ago
Promised to come back
And take care of us
Many years has gone by now
Still no sign of you, daddy, eh
Mother died of a heart attack
Many years ago when she heard
That you were married again
Now I’m the only one left in this family
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you
Wandering up and down
The streets of Soweto
No place to call my home
I tried to find you
Many years ago
But the women you’re married to
Was no good at all
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Remember me)
In whatever you do
I love you (Daddy, oh)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Daddy, oh)
In whatever you do
I love you
(Daddy, oh)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Daddy, oh)
In whatever you do
I love you (Daddy, oh)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Remember me)
In whatever you do
I love you (Daddy, oh)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me
In whatever you do
I love you (Yeah)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Remember me)
In whatever you do (Daddy, oh)
I love you (Remember)
Daddy, wherever you are
Remember me (Daddy, oh)
In whatever you do
I love you
