Pamusoroi vanhu wee
Toda kusvitsa maoko
Kuvakuru kumusoro
Nekuvadiki, ndivo nhaka
Nevakombi, ndine mhaka !
2
Ndipei nzeve vanhu wee
Imi vari pano nhasi
Nevari pasi, unjere ndipei
Nevari nzvimbo dzakatsarukana
doda kutongesa nekupangana

Nhasi ndino pinda nenhoroondo
Ipfupi mataurirwo ayo
Ino bvunza kuti mazuva anhasi
Sei hupenyu hwedu hwaomesesa
Zvaonekwa nevese pasipose

Anonzwa zita rayo, anzwa
Kupi nekupi munyika dzose
Zuva nezuva, tsitsi vanotinzwira
Vanoona tiri mudambudziko
Kare tirisu tai dambadzika
5
Vakuru vanongo bata shaya
Vachi zunguza musoro
Vashaya pazvo, vopira kuvazukuru
Vachiyeuka mbiri yakare
Yakaimbwa ika pemberwa kare
Ugo

Kare kare kwaisava nenyika
Kana rudzi rwevanhu rwai
Shevedzwa kunzi Zimbabwe
Chitsva chekuona isu neziso
Zera redu taivepo musi wezita
7
Vawanikwa, vaive tangekugara
Vakatsvairirwa semarara
Kumhedzisiro kwenyika
Asi nhaka yavo tinayo
Yenyika nengano dzavo

Vakatipawo mifananidzo
Yatino dada nayo yepamatombo
Akamwararira zvikomo nemapako
Inoti raira upenyu hwakare.
Njere dzavo mugove wehukare
9
Vaive vavhimi nyanzvi
Vateveri mhuka vasingarime
Vakati pano musasa mise, saivo
Vogarira mafuta enyika, vogura.
Fume vave nepamwe: vapfuura.

Vakatanga kuuya vabvekure
VaGuruuswa vakasviko
Bata ivhu, vodyara manhanga
Vachichera simbi nekupfura
Mapfumo nemapadza emhangura
11
Vakabva vava vana vevhu
Vagarivepo, vapambevhu
Midzimu yavo vakadyara
Vachikohwa madzinza nechirudzi
Vakaibata, vakaitamba mupfudze
12
Vaipika nemakomo avaiona
Nenzizi dzemo, vachivaka
Mazita avaida vaipa
Kutumidza kutunhidza
Nyika ikava yechipikirwa

Vaitongana pachav
[Dzinza richi tsiva rimwe]
Utapa neuchangamire zvaisosangana
Umambo hukagara kusvingoguru
Hukabvutwa neabvuta, akava mukuru
14
Utongi ukasvika Dambarare
Kami kana Mapungubwe
Mazita evakambotonga
Vana vevana vavo tinavo
Pakati pedu, ropa redu rine ravo
15
MaSwahiri akasvika achisvosva
Nekutengeserana upfumi nevanhu
Vakapfumbidzira vamwe kwatiri
MaPutukezi akauya nehondo
Nechitendero chavo, chesvondo
16
Kwakasvikwa nenhapwa
Kuzvitsuwa zveAfurika
Nenzvimbo mhiri kwenyika
Nemagungwa emabvazuva
Magumo ekwataiziva

They got one step closer to that dream at the end of last month when they were recognised for their outstanding performance at the Edinburgh Fringe in the UK.
- Akon Arrives in Harare Amid Hysterical ScenesThere was chaos at the Harare International Airport earlier this afternoon as hundreds of Akon fans waited for their icon to land. When he finally appeared from the terminal- not through the normal exit- just after 1400hrs, there were scenes of hysteria as people screamed his name, reached out to touch his hand and some burst into tears.
- The Akon Countdown...It is now just a matter of hours before Hip Hop icon, Akon, lands in Zimbabwe for what is already one of the most widely talked about shows in Zimbabwe’s entertainment history. You can feel the excitement in everyone you talk to; they want to be there when history is made. Even people who have never been to a live concert in their lives are talking of buying tickets. If you think that’s something, wait till Akon lands this afternoon. We’re expecting a show of fanaticism the likes of which we have never seen before…
