Moyo Kumusha

Zimbabwe yangu, moyo uri kumusha,

Asi hupenyu hwakatituma kure,

Takasiya zvatinoziva,

tikayambuka miganhu,

Asi moyo hauna kumbobva kumusha.

(Mmm... kumusha...)

Takakura nyika yatotanga kuneta,

Ngano dzema-nineties taingonzwa chete,

Ma-two thousands zvese zvikachinja,

Hope dzedu dzichikura,

mikova yakavharika.

Degree mumaoko, basa harioneki,

Chikafu chinodhura, mari haikwani,

Takasiya mhuri tichitsvaga mukana,

Kwete nekuti taida — taida kurarama.

Ndakasiya amai,

ndikasiya baba,

Makore achipfuura ndisina kuvambundira,

Ndichiti kunze

pamwe kune chiedza, Asi moyo wangu wakasara kumusha.

Takabva kumba, kwete nekuti taida,

Nhamo ndiyo yakatimanikidza,

Zimbabwe dai waigona kutichengeta,

Taizogara newe, tisingaendi kure.

Mari iri kunze— Asi moyo uri kumusha.

Takabva kumba, kwete nekuti taida,

Takangotsvaga hupenyu huri nani.

Kunze hakuna nyore sezvavaitaura,

Rent yakakwira, tax ichitora,

Tsika itsva, nyika isingakuzive,

Masikati ndinoseka, usiku ndosuwa kumba.

Makore achienda, mhuri ichikura,

Vamwe tichivaona chete pa-camera,

Ndichiti rimwe zuva ndichadzoka kumusha,

Asi rimwe zuva racho harisati rasvika.

KuSouth vamwe vachiti, “Dzokerai kwenyu,” Asi kwedu mukana wacho tirikuutsvaga,

Hatina kuuya kuzotora nyika yenyu,

Takauya tichitsvaga hupenyu hwevedu.

Hatidi hondo, hatidi kupokana,

Takatongonetawo nekungotambura, Kana kumusha kwaipa mukana,

Hapana aida kurarama ari kure.

Hospital dzacho hadzina zvakakwana,

Zvikoro zvacho hazvichapi tariro,

Mabasa mashoma, vechidiki vakawanda,

Tichibvunza, “Zvichanaka rinhi?” Hatina kukanganwa kwatakabva,

Kunyangwe nyika yakatiparadzira,

Kana rimwe zuva kumusha kwakanaka,

Tichadzoka tese, tovaka zvakare.

Takabva kumba, kwete nekuti taida,

Nhamo ndiyo yakatimanikidza, Zimbabwe dai waigona kutichengeta,

Taizogara newe, tisingaendi kure.

Makore achipfuura ndichisuwa amai,

Ndichishanda kure ndichifunga baba,

Usati hatidi nyika yedu,

Moyo wedu uchiri kumusha.

Takabva kure, asi rudo haruna kufa,

Takapararira, asi tichiri vana vako,

Zimbabwe, kana rimwe zuva zvinhu

zvikachinja, Tichadzoka kumusha.

Takabva, asi moyo hauna kubva,

Takabva, asi rudo haruna kufa,

Zimbabwe yangu, Moyo wedu uchiri kumusha.

(Mmm... kumusha...)
