Zuva richabuda, hanzvadzi usacheme
Mwedzi ucharatidza nzira, usatye
(The moon will show the way, don't be afraid)
Makore anopfuura, mhepo inozonyarara
Zvose zvakanaka, zvinouya nenguva
Kumuka mangwanani, muviri unorema
(Waking up in the morning, the body feels heavy)
Kutarisa mudenga, kusingaratidzi chiedza
(Looking at the sky, which shows no light)
Asi rangarira, mudziyo hauna kupwanyika
(But remember, the vessel is not broken)
Simba riri mukati, ramba uchifamba
Tora nhanho imwe, tora nhanho mbiri
Gomo harikwirwi nezuva rimwe chete
(A mountain isn't climbed in a single day)
Vimba nemasimba, vimba nemidzimu
Richabuda...
Chiedza chinouya...
Rara nerunyararo. (Sleep in peace.)
