Maita Gwai,
Maita Chuma,
Mhuka isina mhirizhonga kana gakava,
Inofamba murugare nemumafuro manyoro.
Vane mwoyo munyoro unodzikamisa misha,
Vanoera hwai ine makushe machena,
Vakabva Buhera neChivhu vachiunza runyararo,
Maita Gora, Mukuruwambwa!
Hekanhi Chuma,
Vasingatsvagi mhosva nemuvakidzani,
Zvaitwa Gwai!

Thank you, Gwai, Thank you, Chuma, Gentle creature free of violence or quarrel, Who walks in peace across green pastures. Whose calm and tender heart reconciles households, Who revere the sheep of pure white fleece, Tracing roots through Buhera and Chivhu as peacemakers, Thank you, Gora, Mukuruwambwa! Hail, Chuma, Who never seek conflict with a neighbor, It is accomplished, noble Gwai!
