Maita Musoni,
Maita Hwesa,
Mhuka isina mhosva inogara mumwena yakachena,
Yakarima mupunga nemidzi yechinyakare.
Vane unyanzvi hwekuchengetedza tsanga mudura,
Vanoera mbeva nemipimbira yayo,
Vasingapari mhosva asi vakangwara zvakadzika,
Maita vari Mutoko neMurehwa.
Hekanhi Mukuru,
Tatenda vari Mudzi neUzumba,
Zvaitwa Musoni!
