Haiwa iwe unoona misodzi yangu ichiyerera semvura isingamiri,

Ichiuya kubva mumaziso angu ose, uku kurwara kuchionekwa pamuviri wangu.

Usashamiswe, kunyange ndikava semapfupa akaora,

Nokuti mhara iri mubani, pakati pemiti ye-bān negomo.

Akatendera kudeurwa kweropa rangu mumwedzi inoera,

Shamisika nechimiro changu, nokuti handina kumbobvira.

Kutya matambudziko, kunyange akatambanudza maoko awo kwandiri,

Asi rudo rwakandivhara nzeve, uye mazwi angu akataurirwa pasina.

Mugove wakawisira pasi shumba nemaziso emhara diki,

Haiwa mugari wemubani, uya ununure mugari wesango rine minzwa!

Mudiwa wangu akarwisa mwoyo wangu nemiseve isingaverengeki yekutarisa kwake,

Akandisiya ndichidzungaira, ndisina gwara remugwagwa.

Paakandibaya uye museve wake ukanetesa kutsungirira kwangu,

Ndakaramba ronda racho ndokuviga museve uyu mukati memwoyo wangu.

Nokuti maronda anokonzerwa nemudiwa haandirwadzi,

Pose apo mwedzi wangu unobuda, mwedzi pachawo unovandika.

Nguva refu ndapedza husiku hwangu mukufunga nekusarara nekuda kwerudo rwake,

Mweya wangu ndewake, ropa rangu, kunzwa kwangu, nekuona kwangu.

Haiwa iwe unondishora nekuda kwemuda, rudo pacharwo mugove,

Dai shungu dzakadai dzakakupedza, haungadai wakandituka kana kundishora.
