Paroles et traduction Killer T - Rovai Makuva

Rovai Makuva

Pamusoroi vakuru woye
Ndauya ndine nyaya yandiinayo
Asi dzimwe nguva ndongochema
Ndashaya kana badza rekurima
Zvikanzi mhaka munoiziva
Ende zvinodiwa munozviziva
Endai munoti ndiri kuuya
Endai munoungana mugare pasi
Chembere dzekwedu ndidzo dzinoziva
Kubika doro nechivanhu chacho
Zvikanzi vakafa vanoona
Nekuti kune zvinhu zvinoyera

Vakanditi rovai makuva vanangu muyambuke vanangu we
Dzosai mudzimu mumusha menyu ikutarireiwo vanangu we
Dirai doro pasi murarame vanangu we
Yeukai kumashure kwamakabvawo vanangu we

Vakati itouyai nevakuru venyu
Ndivo vanochiziva chivanhu chenyu
Enda unovatsvaga vachiri vapenyu
Ndivo vanotungamira munzira dzenyu
Ndakavati nditumei shoko ndosvitsa
Ende mudzimu yako inokutarisa
Zvese zvamandituma inini ndoita
Kuti vanditungamire kwandinoenda
Asi inini vakanditi panodiwa mombe
Ende vana sekuru vanoda mukombe
Iyi uriwega haungaigone
Endai munoungana mutione

Vakanditi rovai makuva vanangu muyambuke vanangu we
Dzosai mudzimu mumusha ikutarireiwo vanangu we
Dirai doro pasi murarame vanangu we
Yeukai kumashure kwamakabvawo vanangu we

Hit the Graves

Greetings elders
I have come with an issue
But sometimes I just cry
I don't even have a hoe to farm
They said you know the cause
Indeed, what is needed, you know it
Go and tell them I am coming
Go gather and sit down
Our old ladies are the ones who know
How to brew beer and its traditions
They said the dead can see
Because there are things that are sacred

They told me to hit the graves, my children, cross over my children
Bring back the spirit into your homestead, so it may look after you, my children
Pour beer on the ground, so you may live, my children
Remember where you came from, my children

They said bring your elders too
They are the ones who know your traditions
Go look for them while they are still alive
They are the ones who lead you in your ways
I said let me deliver the message, I will convey it
Indeed your ancestral spirit is watching over you
Everything they have instructed me, I will do
So they may lead me where I am going
But they told me a cow is required
Indeed the uncles need a cup
You can't manage this alone
Go gather and we shall see

They told me to hit the graves, my children, cross over, my children
Bring back the spirit into your homestead, so it may look after you, my children
Pour beer on the ground, so you may live, my children
Remember where you came from, my children
