Moyo (Heart / Cattle)

Thank you, Moyo, Thank you, Chirandu, Masters and architects of Great Zimbabwe (Dzimba dzaMabwe), Who assembled colossal soaring granite walls without lime or mortar, Hail Changamire Dombo, Emperor of the Rozvi Empire! Whose colossal herds graze across endless lush valleys, Whose rich milk fills the calabashes of chiefs and elders, Who venerate the heart of every living beast, Refusing to consume the heart of any slaughtered animal. Praise to you, Bvumavaranda (Champion of the humble and weary), Friend and protector of all who were in distress, Whose generous kindness restores hope to the sorrowful, Custodians of the ancient stone terraces and royal enclosures, Who wielded the ceremonial spear in defense of the realm. It is accomplished, noble families of Masvingo and Bikita, Thank you, elders of Gweru and the Matopos hills, Your greatness is acknowledged, Sovereign of Zimbabwe, We thank you, Moyo Chirandu!
