Ndiko here kumuchengeta kwamaita mamutakura kufikisa kwamupfiganebwe

Imba yacho iyi haina window
Imba yacho iyi haina window
Imba yacho iyi haina window
Ko akamboti ndichidzokeraka
Akauya seiko mamuzadzira matombo pamwe nevhu
Ko akambonzi chidzokeraka
Akauya seiko mamuzadzira matombo pamwe nevhu
Ndiko here kumuchengeta kwamaita mamutakura kufikisa kwamupfiganebwe
Ndiko here kumuchengeta kwamaita mamutakura kufikisa kwamupfiganebwe

Imba yacho iyi haina window
Hona imba yacho mummy haina window (haina window)
Imba yacho iyi haina window
Hona imba yacho baba haina window (hayi)

Haina window
Dendera Kings
The lyrics to Simon Chimbetu and The Orchestra Dendera Kings' song "Window" seem to be about the inability to see beyond oneself or to see the world from another person's perspective. The song repeats the phrase "imba yacho iyi haina window" which translates to "this song doesn't have a window," suggesting that the singer's song or point of view is limited and lacks perspective. The lyrics mention a person who is trying to "mamuzadzira matombo" or straighten things out, perhaps trying to bring clarity to a situation or offer a different viewpoint, but the singer seems resistant to their efforts, asking "ndiko here kumuchengeta?" ("what are you protecting?").
The use of the word "window" as a metaphor for perspective is interesting, as it suggests that having a window allows one to see outside of their own narrow view and into the world beyond. The repetition of the phrase "haina window" emphasizes the idea of being closed off or limited, while the repetition of the melody creates a hypnotic feel, as if the singer is stuck in their own perspective and unable to break free. Overall, the song seems to be an introspective reflection on the limitations of one's own viewpoint, and the importance of being open to other perspectives.
