Ndozvireva Kunaani?
Leonard Dembo & The Barura Express Lyrics

The lyrics to Leonard Dembo & The Barura Express's song Ndozvireva Kunaani describe the struggles the singer has faced in life and the lack of understanding from others. The opening lines talk about coming from a place where nobody knows you, even though it's close to where his parents live. He then goes on to say that nobody understands his struggles and how hard his journey has been. The repetition of the line "Kutambura kwangu hapana anokuziva" (Nobody knows the struggles I've been through) highlights how alone he feels in his experiences.

The singer then transitions to talking about how he's aware that people look down on him and think he's foolish or naive. He wonders why he's kept himself so isolated, with no family or friends to support him. He then repeats the line "Ndozvireva kunaniko zvandisina hama" (What can I say when I have no family?), which further emphasizes his isolation and loneliness.

In the final section of the song, the singer urges the listener to stay strong and not give up hope in difficult times. He uses the metaphor of bowing and bending ("Unherera ushe, unherera umambowo") to encourage perseverance and strength, even when facing hardship. The repeated line "Kana uri nherera wangofananawo nevhu rinongotsikwa chero nemunhu wese wese, Saka uri mambo zvako" (If you are someone who has struggled like many others, then you are a king in your own right) reminds the listener that they are not alone and that their struggles make them strong and worthy.
