Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soul Influence's song Eva are largely in the Chewa language, which is spoken in Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia. The title of the song, Eva, is a female name in many languages and may indicate that the lyrics are addressed to a woman. Throughout the song, the refrain "Munda Uyo" is repeated often, which means "That Field" in Chewa. The first verse begins with "Munda Uyo Tata Mulimo Kuita," which can be interpreted as "That Field Father is Calling You to Work." The second verse repeats this phrase and adds "Nditume Mbuli Mwana Mushonto," which means "I Am Sending You to Get a Small Sheep Today."

The third verse is more challenging to interpret, as it introduces a new phrase, "Zunde Iro," which means "That Planting." The first half of the verse repeats this phrase along with "Basa Rekuita," which could be translated as "Work to Call." In the second half of the verse, the new phrase "Ndiripano Tenzi Nditume Kune Avo Vanoramba" is introduced, which may mean "I Am Here to Send You to Those Who Are Hurting." The song ends with a repetition of the previous phrases and a final "Ah-Ye."

Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of hard work and helping others in the community. The repeated use of "That Field" and "That Planting" may symbolize the need to tend to one's tasks and responsibilities in life. The references to sending someone to get a small sheep and to help those who are hurting suggest that part of this work involves caring for one another.
