Maita Simboti,
Mbada yomukono,
Mhuka ine mavara akavezwa nemashizha emusango,
Asingakukurwi nemvura kana kudzima nemhepo.
Ziendanegwapa, risingatsiki pasi zvine ruzha,
Chikara chinobata mhuka ichiri kuseka,
Vanoona murima sehove iri mumvura,
Vasingadyi nyama yechikara chine mavara.
Hekanhi Mutenhesanwa,
Tatenda vari Bikita neGutu,
Maita vari Masvingo neChivi,
Zvaitwa Simboti!
English Translation:
Thank you, Simboti, Mighty male Leopard, Beast whose rosette spots are painted like shadows of the dense forest, That can never be washed away by the rains nor faded by the sun. Silent stalker that treads upon the earth without a whisper, Predator that strikes down prey while it still smiles, Whose keen eyes pierce the night like a fish in clear mountain waters, Who revere the sacred spotted leopard and its skin. Hail, honored Mutenhesanwa, Gratitude to the families of Bikita and Gutu, Thank you, clan of Masvingo and Chivi, It is accomplished, noble Simboti!
