Makadiiko chaunga

Kana ndakunakidza
Nemutupo wakazara
Nemashoko anogara

Hwee ndoenda
Vasikana ndoenda
Hwee ndoenda
Nemukombe ndoenda
Hokoyo

Pamuchafamba munzira mwanangu

Mhepo ikauya
Usapinde mubako mune shato unorumwa

Hokoyo

What have you done?
You have gathered together.
You make musarinya (sorghum meal).
But you started by hating each other.
Beware.

If they praise me,
When I am pleasing,
With full praise poems,
With words that last,
Beware.

Hey, I am going,
Girls, I am going,
Hey, I am going,
With my cup, I am going,
Beware.

They will make you slip on a smooth rock.
They will hate you like crazy.
They will anger you,
When you gather wealth,
They will say you practice witchcraft.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

When you climb the mountain together you will help each other.
When you walk on the road, my child,
You will hear the sound of a guinea fowl.
When you gather wealth,
They will say you practice witchcraft.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

Let me sharpen the hoe and plant seeds.
I will eat termites.
I will hold onto a stick.
I will eat anger.
I am not a spirit.
They don’t have skin on their faces.
They don’t have a soft heart.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

They said let trouble be your name.
They said let trouble be your path.
When you gather wealth,
They say you practice witchcraft.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

Wait, let me talk to you, cross over and reach far.
Wait, let me pray for you, receive blessings.
Grow to see growth.
Grow to see.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

Wait, let me talk to you, cross over and reach far.
Wait, let me pray for you, receive blessings.
Grow to see growth.
Grow to see.
My child, you will see, the trouble will come.

My child, listen.
I did not choose you.
I gave birth to you.
Sometimes we meet,
So that when the rain comes,
When the wind comes,
You don’t enter a cave where there is a python that bites.
