Ngai simudzirwe zita rayo
Inzwai miteuro yedu
Baba isu mhuri yako
Hona uti komborere
Ishe komborera Afrika
Ngai simudzirwe zita rayo
Baba isu mhuri yako
Hona uti komborere
Huya mweya (huya mweya komborera)
Huya mweya (huya mweya komborera)
Huya mweya huya mweya mutswene
Baba uti komborere
Komborere wo isu mhuri yako
Huya mweya (huya mweya komborera)
Huya mweya (huya mweya komborera)
