Nhetembo yeDzinza raBonga / Niriri
🇿🇼 ChiShona (Original Verses)
Maita Bonga,
Maita Chihwa, Niriri wangu yuyu,
Mhuka inofamba chinyararire muuswa hurefu,
Ine nzeve dzakapepuka dzinonzwa kudonha kweshizha.
Vasingadyi chekubirira asi chedziya ravo,
Vanoera bonga remumarupani,
Maita vari Mhondoro neChikomba,
Vane meso anopenya murima!
Hekanhi Chihwa,
Tatenda Bonga,
Zvaitwa Mawere!
🇬🇧 English Translation
Thank you, Bonga,
Thank you, Chihwa, my cherished Serval,
Graceful wild cat moving silently through the tall savannah grass,
Blessed with alert ears that catch the rustle of a falling leaf.
Who rely on honest skill and never take what belongs to another,
Who revere the spotted serval of the plains,
Praise to the families of Mhondoro and Chikomba,
Whose bright eyes shine through the night!
Hail, Chihwa,
Gratitude to you, Bonga,
It is accomplished, noble Mawere!
