The lyrics to Leonard Dembo & The Barura Express's song "Kusatenda Huroyi" depict a plea from a son to his father, asking him not to be ashamed of him and to accept him as he is. The repetition of "Zvawakura mwanawe usatinyadzise tinoda kuti uwanikwe" translates to "You have grown up son, don't be ashamed of me, we want you to be proud of us." The son is acknowledging his father's wisdom and experience, and asks him not to underestimate the strength of his own character. The son also mentions that even without material possessions, their love should still be true and pure.
The song is a poignant reminder of the importance of family acceptance and the desire for personal validation. It also highlights the generational differences and the struggle of younger generations to gain the approval and respect of their elders.

Sarura wako anotamba zvaunoda ka
Choose yours who play how you like
Ndakasarudza wangu anotamba zvandinodawo
I will also chose mine who plays how i like
Ambuya vangu vanotamba nevezera ravo
My grandmother olays with her peers
Iwe tamba tione chisikana chezera rangu
You play, let's see our young girls dance
Dhiya wangu uchindidaka woitavo zvandinoda
My love, hug me, that's what I want
Kwete kungopa wese wese rudo rwaunondipa ini
Not just giving love to everyone, but to me only
Ndiri wako inini dhiya ndinokuda inini sweetie
I am yours my love, I love you my sweetie
Ndikakufunga ndinonzwa moyo neshungu
When I think of you, I feel both happiness and pain

There are many things that bother us
Kuti tiwirirane nekuda kwevavengi mudiwa
Let's unite despite the community's opposition
