The song "Konyana" by Kenny is a spiritual piece about the various wonders of the universe and a call for all to listen to the voice of God. The song begins by highlighting different locations, including mountains and stars, that the singer is able to see and appreciate. The repeated phrase "Ka bona Konyana" translates to "I see the child," which may be a reference to the innocence of youth or the idea of being reborn through faith.
As the song progresses, the singer describes himself being inspired to dance and to listen to the voice of God, represented in the song as the sounds of nature, indicated by the phrase "Ya ba ke a utlwa lentswe," which means "I hear voices." Thus, the song can be interpreted as a call to connect with nature, to listen to its sounds, and ultimately to find one's way to God.
Overall, "Konyana" is a poetic and uplifting song that celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the spiritual possibilities that can be found within it.
