SHIRI YAKANAKA

SHIRI YAKANAKA

“Shiri yakanaka unoendepi?

Huya, huya, huya kuneni!”

“Ndiri kuenda kumakore

Kuti ndifanane nemakore,”

Sezvo makore akanaka,

Sawo neniwo ndoda kunaka.

Ingava shiri yakanaka,

Kana ikapinda mumakora,

Aye anopona nezvakaora,

Mugumo wazvo kudyawo zvakaora.

Zvingangokufadza kuzvitarisa uchizviyemura,

Asi zvingangokusuwisa kuona uchipfuurwa nevamwe

Sekuti ngoma inorira ichiti pangu-pangu.

Unokwevera mumwe mumatope,

Uchida kuti mufanane, haunyari?

Zano anopangwa ane rake!

Usaita ushamwari hwaana Tangouyawo,

Usaitazve saana Chauyabo,

Asi cherekedza divi rauri,

Nvera hwaro hwehwenyu ushamwari,

 Kana huri hwezvisakarurama, suduruka!

Usiye vaipi vachishamwaridzana pachavo.

Nhunzvatunzva newe nhasi ukama ndagura,

Iwe tora zvakanaka zvako uise muhara,

Usiye uipi zvese nevaiti vahwo zvega,

Unozviziva wani nzivani dzinofura dzoga,

Sezvo shiri dzimwe dzichifambidzana,

Iwe tsvagawo vanyoro sewe moshamwaridzana.

Kuti uzvigone ita seshiri yakanaka,

Zvayakashunguvira kuita semakore kunaka,

Yakasarudza kuenda kumakore,

Kuti pakunaka ifanane nemakore.
