Maita Gumbo,
Maita Madyirapazhe,
Vamutindi wenhanga usina mukova wakavharwa,
Vane guta rinotambira vaenzi nemufaro mukuru,
Varidzi veGutu reMupandawana.
Vasingadye voga mukati memba yakavharwa,
Vanoisa ndiro panze kuti vafambi vadye vose,
Vanoera gumbo remombe nenyama yezasi,
Vane rupo runozadza nyika yose.
Maita vari Gutu pamakomo erufaro,
Varidzi veminda ine chibage chinopfachukira,
Hekanhi Sambiri,
Zvaitwa Madyirapazhe!
English Translation:
Thank you, Gumbo, Thank you, Madyirapazhe (One who hosts communal feasts in the open courtyard), Keepers of sprawling pumpkin patches with doors open wide, Whose homestead welcomes every stranger with warmth and song, Founders and chiefs of Gutu and Mupandawana. Who refuse to dine selfishly behind closed doors, Who place the feast platters outside so every traveler may share the meal, Who revere the hindleg of cattle and game, Whose legendary hospitality enriches the entire land. Praise to the clan in Gutu among the granite hills of celebration, Stewards of fertile fields brimming with golden corn, Hail, Sambiri, It is accomplished, noble Madyirapazhe!
