Mhuri inochema zuva nezuva yenyu inzweivo
Munhamo nezvinonetsa tinzweivo

Mhuri inochema zuva nezuva hona inzweika

Mhuri inochema zuva nezuva hona inzweika
Munhamo nezvinonetsa tinzweivo
Inga ndimi baba vavo chete vasunungurei
Nyarara kuchema mune zvinonetsa munyaradzi achauya
Mhuri inochema zuva nezuva hona inzweika

on Sarura Wako

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

Kune zvakawanda zvinotitadzisa
There are many things that bother us

Kuti tiwirirane nekuda kwevavengi mudiwa
Let's unite despite the community's opposition
