WANGU AKATSAKATIKA

Ndangova buru romusha
Rinochengeta musha
Ndakadirwa vanodero
Vose vanondiombera…

Kwangu ndiko kudanga
Wangu akatsakatita…
Kumafuro ndega!
Muswe uchingotanda nhunzi,
Kana mafuro acho ondiremera…

Veduwee-tenzi
Kundidaro here

Kundidaro here shuwa?

Danga rondiremera

Rondiremera danga iri…

Ndinogara ndakasuwa

Kusuwa hakuchabvi pandiri…
Wangu makamuisa kupi,

Kupi wangu-wangu makamuisa?

Ndanzwa nokupaza danga
Rangu gumbo rakatovhunika
Dziri shungu dzokuda wangu…

Mapere andiona… kutiza chete!
Kuzoti dziri shumba kutsauka,

Kukwenyana nokundinyeya
Wangu aripi?

Wangu makamuisepi?

Kana chirichokwadi

Ichi kana chiri chokwadi
Ndaradzwa tenzi…

Shiri dzinoimba kuHarare
KwaMereki KwaZindoga
Arikugochiwa vachimwa mamba

‘Sviyo…tsviriyo…sviriku…ochewa’

Nyararai apa vana shiri- twumuromo twusinezwi!

Ko dehwe rake riripi
Butsu…shangu chaidzo?
Mabhandi emaburukwa sunga dzisimbe
Mabhegi emucheneso emadzimai
Zviwhepu zvekuchaisa iwe…

Zviwhepu iwe…taura wangu makamuisepi?

Tenda vakakudira
Kukuita bhuru remusha!
Iwe! Kwamereki…kwaZindoga
Ndiko kwawaiperera!
Vachinwa vachikugocha
Vachitamba vachiimba…

Whepu! Whepu! Whepu!
‘Dzokera- mudanga’
Wangu arikundirova
Handirwadziwe nechiwhepu ini!
Uyu ndiwangu arikundirangarira norudo…

Asi Tenzi ndaradzwa kusvika nditsakatike

Ndarwadziwa…kuti rwa…dzi….weeeeeee….

Weeeeee….yoweeee maihweee…ndarwadziwa!

MAGUMO!!!
