[Intro]
Bass, trumpet, drum arpeggio weaving a warm dawn; mbira whispers hello to the night.
[Verse 1]
Mwana wangu, ndinokukumbira neushamwari hwangu hwose,
Mubatikirei mwoyo wako netsika dzangu dzvene.
Ndirangarirei zviroto zvamunhu nomwoyo wangu wese;
Pamberi penyu pane chiedza, muchakura muchikura nesimba.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ndinokushuvira, ndinosimbisa rudo rweupenyu,
Kuzvipira, maziso akabata tarisiro yenyu.
[Chorus]
Nerudo rwangu, nokuyeuchidza mufambiro wenyu,
Rombo rakanaka harifadzi, rinokuparadzira simba.
Kubatana kwehupenyu, rudo runokuyambuka muripo,
Mune munda wezviroto, munowana manyuko matsva.
[Verse 2]
Tora nzira dzakanaka, dzine mbira dzikuru dzichikuzivisa,
Kusimba mupfungwa, kushinga pahunyori hwenyu.
Vose vanokuda vanokuratidza nzira yechokwadi,
Makororo emufaro achauya kana muchishanda nesimba.
[Pre-Chorus]
Ndinokushuvira, ndinosimbisa rudo rwapera,
Kuzadzikiswa kwezvishuwo zvemwoyo wako.
[Chorus]
Nerudo rwangu, nokuyeuchidza mufambiro wenyu,
Rombo rakanaka harifadzi, rinokuparadzira simba.
Kubatana kwehupenyu, rudo runokuyambuka muripo,
Mune munda wezviroto, munowana manyuko matsva.
[Bridge]
Mbira inonzwika semweya wevabereki, kuchema nerurama,
Zvikomborero zvinodzika pasi, zvichikutora maoko.
Tora chitsidzo cherudo, chiono chezuva rakanaka,
Mufaro muzera, rugare runopfekwa namazwana.
[Chorus]
Nerudo rwangu, nokuyeuchidza mufambiro wenyu,
Rombo rakanaka harifadzi, rinokuparadzira simba.
Kubatana kwehupenyu, rudo runokuyambuka muripo,
Mune munda wezviroto, munowana manyuko matsva.
[Outro]
Ndisununguke, mwana wangu, ramba uchikura nerudo rwepasi rese,
Ndiri pano, ndichikupfekedza zvipo zvako noruoko rwangu rwegheresi.
