Nhamo Moto
Leonard Dembo & The Barura Express Lyrics

Ndicho chirairo chako mwanangu nherera
This is your challenge, my child, be strong and brave

Chirairo chako misodzi nherera hona
This burden brings tears to your eyes, my child, but keep going

Nhamo moto mwanangu nherera
Poverty is a burning fire, my child

Unopisa nechisakapara mhosva hona
It consumes you with worries and struggles, my child, see it for what it is

Nhamo idoro mwanangu nherera
Debt is a heavy burden, my child

Harina warimwa nhasi nherera hona
It has no mercy, my child, see the reality

Tsvaga anokuroora mwanangu nherera
Look for someone who will marry you, my child

Uwane anokuvaraidza nherera hona
Find someone who will support and uplift you, my child, see the importance

Inga vamwewo vanovaraidzawo wani (vanovaraidza)
These other people are the ones who will belittle you, my child, remember that (they belittle)

Vasikana patsime vanovaraidzawo hona (vanovaraidza)
Other girls will also belittle you, my child, see the reality (they belittle)

Vakomana vazvino vanovaraidzawo hona (vanovaraidza)
Even young men will belittle you nowadays, my child, see the truth (they belittle)
