Shona (English Translation Below):

Verse 1
Mukomana, ini ndinokuda, asi iwe, iwe uri kure kure.
Hona musikana, ini ndinokuda, asi iwe, iwe uri kure kure.
Mukomana iwe, usatambe neni - aiwa! hona ka, iwe uri kure kure. Musikana ini handikurasisi hande mberi, handidi kuva kure newe.

Chorus
Huya ka kuzondishanyira, tizokurkura zvoupenyu, tironge magariro edu ah! Huya kwandiri!
Huya ka kuzondishanyira, tizokurkura zvoupenyu, tironge magariro edu ah! Huya kwandiri!

Vakawanda vaiti hatimbokundi
Vakawanda vaita siyana naye
Vamwe vacho, vanga vasingazvigoni
Vamwe vacho, raive jerasi rega!

************************************************

Hey, boy, I love you, but you are so far away
Hey girl, I love you too, but you are so far away
Hey boy, don't toy with me - can't you see how far away you are?
Hey girl, I'll never play with your heart, let's take a step, I no longer want to be far away from you

Chorus

Why don't you come and visit for a while, and we can talk and plan about our lives ? Come to me!

Verse 2

Many people said we wouldn't be victorious
Many people told us to let each other go
Some of these people wouldnt have been able to do this themselves
And others simply said this out of jealousy

Chorus
Why don't you come and visit for a while, and we can talk and plan about our lives ? Come to me!

Bridge
Look - today they have married one another!

about

Mbira Renaissance Edmonton, Alberta

Mbira Renaissance gives original flair to the rich, ancient, classical musical genre that is mbira. The music is delicate yet upbeat, reggae rifts interwoven with jazzy melodies.
