TV Discussion: New series by Donald Glover - Atlanta UPDATE: FINAL 4th Season Sept 2022!



Malaika (Angel) highlights the theme of love viz-a-viz poverty in contemporary Africa. It narrates a sad story of a young man whose love for his dream angel is doomed because he is poor.

For him to marry her, the singer, only identified by the first person I, should pay bride-price in order to get betrothed. The song is probably the last gasp attempt to win her over, even when he and society know it would never happen.

The original text and the translation by Rupert Moser originally into German is:

Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Angel, I love you angel
Malaika, nakupenda Malaika
Angel, I love you angel
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
and I, what should I do, your young friend
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel

Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Little bird, I think of you little bird
Kidege, hukuwaza kidege
Little bird, I think of you little bird
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
and I, what should I do, your young friend
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel
Nashindwa na mali sina, we,
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa, Malaika
I would marry you, angel

Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
The money (which I do not have) depresses my soul
Pesa zasumbua roho yangu
the money (which I do not have) depresses my soul
Nami nifanyeje, kijana mwenzio
and I, what should I do, your young friend
Nashindwa na mali sina, we
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel
Nashindwa na mali sina, we
I am defeated by the bride price that I don't have
Ningekuoa Malaika
I would marry you, angel
 
Again I really like van

Man nigga you aint gone try to make it work with Van? not even try try? really nigga?

Earn causes his own misery
He's a dunce in every single way he can be a dunce.

I met people like that, who just refuse to be happy. Earn is one of them.

But Earns dad been said, " Earn does what ever he want to do" you cant make Earn do shit

Could Earn LEGIT believe he isn't good enough for her?
 
Should Van have LET him win though?

He shouldn't have played in the first place.
He kept saying "it feels like a trap" it was. He didn't want her and he proved it when he played. She wasn't going to take it easy on him she just got thru saying she was tired.
Plus flirting with that German CAC got her all in her head about the shit going on.

She did falsely equate the 2 situations she pointed the strip club as something that she did that he wanted to do. But even still the strip club though not ideal didn't leave her as a complete outcast.
She literally took this cat to a foreign land. He didn't know anything or anyone or even how to speak the language anything about the culture and she didn't even prep him on none of it.
The games, the dances, the weird cac masks. The woman coming up to him thinking he was in actual black face she gave 0 fucks how any of that made him feel. Like her and the bartender had a 5 minute conversation while he's standing there. looking at him and laughing and not once did she even attempt to include him in the conversation in any way shape or form. All she said was "You should learn some German"
I mean excuse him for not being half cac and growing up in Germany and shit lol


And even still all he had to say was I want you. This wasn't cool and outline the differences like I did and then say again but I do want you. I want us to be a family and that would've been enough.

But also when someone says "I dont want to wait around for you" my natural reaction has been the same too. Don't wait around for me... that makes the other person feel like you're a chore or that they're doing you a favor by waiting which just makes you feel like fuck all that please do me no favors which is why he said don't let me waste your time.

She basically hit him with the Ultimatum shit and it didn't go how she thought it would. I'm sure when he said we need to talk he was just going to talk about something light and smooth it over but she decided she wanted to settle it.
Now look at how she looks out the window as the nigga she actually wants is walking away. He ain't happy about walking away but at the same damn time this is real life it's not a movie a cat is not going to grovel at your feet like its a movie and just because he doesn't grovel at your feet don't mean that he don't really want you

the warped sense of what caring is and isn't fucks up tons of relationships and now theirs is fucked.


She listened to the bartender talk about fairy tale shit as he heads back to Germany
and now she back in Atlanta
with dead love.
