Huwiii! Regai ndimbotura befu,
Kwandabva chinhambwe,
Ndisina kana shuro zvayo musango,
Asi kuda ndakavhima nemunyu muhombodo?
Ndaneta nekufira mafufu segonzo ini,
Kusvikira rinhi ndichingoita hupenyu hwegonzo,
Kupona nekuba nzungu mutsapi?
Wandakatadzira ndiye wandirikushaya,
Dai ndamuwana ndakumbirawo ruregerero.
Hunganzi hupenyuwo here veduwee,
Kurarama zvehwakumukwaku.
Inga zvinonzi sango rinopa waneta wani?
Iniwo ndaneta
Ndave padyo nekukanda mapfumo pasi.
Ndorarama hupenyu hwegonzo kupona nekugara wakachenjera,
Kungovarairwa rufu.
Nhamo sona sona neni setsikidzi,
Handichadi hupenyu hwekuombera ini,
Mangwana mangwana gusvi,
Kozova rinhi ndichirarama segonzo?
Donzwaiwo tsitsi neni,
Kana ndakaresva ndapfira mate,
Ndanzwa ndayuwira.
Chii chakaitwa nevanazvo chandisina kuita?
Kunamata ndanamata mabvi kunge achasvuuka,
Moyo unodokwaira kuona vamwe vachigwangura.
Ini ndichingori mupemhi.
Hapana achada kundiona Mumana,
Ndinotobvunzwa kunzi murikudei ndisati ndamhoreswa.
Ndakambotadzeiko inini?
Upenyu hwegonzo ndahuramba.
