The lyrics of Solly Mahlangu's song "Obrigado" express gratitude and appreciation to God (Xikwembu xa Matimba in Tsonga language). The repeated refrain "Khanimambo" and "Hi khensile" both mean "Thank you" in Tsonga. The song emphasizes the awe and humility that comes with recognizing God's power and grace. The last verse of the song switches to isiZulu, another South African language, to praise and thank God further. The lyrics serve as a reminder of the importance of expressing gratitude and acknowledging the divine in everyday life.
The song "Obrigado" has roots in traditional Tsonga music and gospel music genres. The word "obrigado" itself means "thank you" in Portuguese, which is an official language of neighboring Mozambique. This cultural connection reflects the historical and cultural ties between the Tsonga people and Mozambique. The song has gained popularity in South Africa and beyond, and has been covered by various artists.
