1.
Zikawamo mberere zinandi,
Mulukutu kukaya,
Kweni yimoza yikazgewapo,
Yekha kumapopa yil.
Kutali na kaya yiweme,
Kutali na mliska muweme;
Kutali na mliska muweme.
2.
Fumu mberere nzinandi,
Lukutu lwazura fwa!
Tikuzizwa kuti mukupenja,
Yimoza maso kwa!
Fumu yikazgora,
"Yene'yo Yiri kuzgewera m'mayiyi,
Ndirute sono nkhayipenje."
3.
Nayumo munthu wamanya,
Kofya kwa mironga,
Na chisi cha usiku uwo,
Icho wakendamo.
Mu mayiyi wakayisanga,
Yikurwara na kuzirika,
Yikuberereskera ku nyifwa.
Fumu, ndopa za munthowa,

Zasururirachi?
Zathikira wakupuluka,
Kuti wawereko.
Mawoko ghaphapuka wuli?
Ghakalasika na usiku,
Mu minga yinandinandi.
Mu mapiri na m'thengere wuwo,

Ehe! yapulikikwa
Nchemerezgo kuti,
"Kondwani! ndayisanga mberere,"
wangelo wose wakuchanya Wazgora,
"Sekererani 'mwe,
Fumu yawera na mberere."
