Nhetembo yeDzinza raHungwe / Shiri

🇿🇼 ChiShona (Original Verses)
Maita Hungwe, Shiri yamambo, Inobhururuka pamusoro pemakomo ichitarisa nyika yose, Varidzi veGreat Zimbabwe neDzimbahwe. Vakavezwa mumatombo emusande, Inzwi renyu rinodanidzira mvura kubva mudenga, Vanoera shiri inobata hove munzizi, Vane meso anopinza kunge mheni. Hekanhi Maenzanise, Maita Vhurumera, Tatenda vari Masvingo neBuhera, Zvaitwa Hungwe!
🇬🇧 English Translation
Thank you, Hungwe, Sovereign bird of royalty, Soaring high above the mountain peaks keeping vigil over all the land, Custodians of Great Zimbabwe and our ancestral legacy. Carved into sacred green soapstone emblems of our nation, Whose shrill call heralds the descending blessing of rain, Who revere the sacred fish eagle of the rivers, Whose piercing eyes are as sharp and clear as lightning. Hail, Maenzanise, Thank you, noble Vhurumera, Gratitude to the families of Masvingo and Buhera, It is accomplished, noble Hungwe!
