NZUNGU DZEMBEU
Hedzo shomanane mwachewe
Ndakatomira sebvumba veduwe
Dzingadai dzakatetenewa
Nenhamo zvikasara kokwaMazvihwa
Ndakaona kuti havaoni
Ndoreva vaya vanodzimenyerameno
Svomu dzakavadzvenga zvokuti hameno
Anza yavo inongobuda nhasi kwete mangwana
Ko, matakadyakare zvaasinganyaradze
Funga zvakadzama Chivaraidze
Nhamo idoro mwanangu nherera
Muvambi akaparira vamwi
Ko, wambotiwaona here zviri kuuya
Ringa mberi isiyawakuya
Chimwe kutofanana newe nemateya
Dai chikasatodza kumenyaramumuromo
Vamwe vanoti taurai henyu Save
Vamwe hanzi kufa kwakauya
Raramo idivakamwe VaChikwaya
Ko, nyika nemhuri yako zvofanewe here?
Idzi iNzungu Dzembeu Mwachewe
Usaravira kana imwe mwanawe
Enda unodzidzvara mutseu
Imwechete ichaburitsa gumi nefararira
Ini tseu yangu ndiwe
Vimbo yangu mauri igoridhe
Dzvarawo muna vamwe.
NdoGUTSARUZHINJI
ZVICHAPERA TAUYA
Munofamba makasimudza mapipito
Madzika mungorodzemoto
Dzemoto dzotongosiona muzvivhiti-vhiti
Imi ndimi Vanhu nhai?
Munokama dzeruzhinji
Mukaka modya muchipfachura
Ko, mukoma Hondondeyedu? Ko sisi?
Ko maivamhanyisamberi wani?
Zvamakanaka kana muchifanira
Havazvioni kuti movabatakumeso
Asi chero vakabatakumeso hamudzori tsvimbo
Hoo! Zvichapera tauya
Zvavanongogeza yamunenge mageza
Moyo yenyu yakaoma sedombo
Hamucheuki mhere motoda zvombo
Zvichapera tiri kuuyako
Ko, zvamovabata neseri kweruoko
Vakashinga moyo havo chose
Kwavari ndiko makabva mese
Vanhuwo kani vapeiwo dariro
Zvamunongonyangarisa kuita hukwana
Mutori ruvangu mongohwutura
Ko mogobvunzwa nani imi muchibhururuka
Zvisinei takuuya hedu!
CHISIYA
Chisiya amai nababa
Chisiya iwe watova womubereki
Mwana gororo rova Sitereki
Iwe hauchisiri mudiki
Chisiya vadye nhaka
Iwe idya chako wega cheziya
Chirega kukungurutsa gore nendangariro
Ngazvikupe shungu netariro
Chisiya maonero ako aya
Kuona zvinhu sezvazviri
Onawo zvisingaonekwi neruzhinji
Vavarirawo kuita Munyori kana Muimbi
Kwira pamusoro peChisiya
Chikomo chekwana Sigauke
Uone kunaka kwenyika yawakajairira useke
Kubva kwana Mawere kusvika kwaMhike
Chisiya hope hadzina ndima
Vatomuka kare vana Chirima
Upenyu hwenungo irima
Gona rehupfumi idikita
Chisiya kutevera vamarokwe
Haungapedzi vakasikwa
Ndivanamusiyadzasukwa
VanaChisiyarwapindarukonye
Chisiya ndibudewo mugota
Kurara ndongokurota
Musadaro kani vaChivi
Chisiyai umhandara huchiri mavivi
UPENGO HWUNOVAKA
Makatuka zuva randakaberekwa
Murimizve nyakutumbura
Maiti makarwadzirwa pasina
Usiku hwekutambisa!
Maiva matoona rombe remwana
Mukati ndakakuzvarira gitare nenduri here Manu?
Maidisa kwazvo ndiite dhokotera
Kwete wemanzwi asi wavanorwara
Hamuna kuziva kuti ndopengazvakanaka
Hwangu upengo hwunovaka
Kuvaka dzimba dziri kutanga nedzotofa idzoo
Kuvaka vechidiki neharabwa idzoo
Nemanzwi ndopengera munziyo
Nemanzwi ndopengera mukunyora
Vanongodzidza kunyangendakarara
Mbiri yangu yotekeshera
Amwe mabasa kufahurova sedhongi mhai
Rangu vanongonditevedzera nokundirava nhai
Hakuna rimwe basa rokunda iri mhani
Ndatosiya nyika, hameno vanonditaura kangani
Ndichipenga ndonyaradza vanochema
Ndichipenga ndomutsa marema
Wanditeerera wapinda muAreka
Ndine upengo hwunovaka
Hanzi Dembo wakati Chitekete
Macheso akati kete
Chirere akati teke-teke
Mapenzi anovaka iwawa!
