Maita Nzou,
Maita Samanyanga,
Mhuka huru inopaza matondo pasina demo kana pfumo,
Mhuka ine ruoko rwokubata pachiso chayo,
Vane tsoka dzinoti dzakanyatsoisa pasi, mupata unodedera.
Vasingamiri kune zvipingamupinyi munzira,
Chikara chinofamba chine rugare asi chine simba guru,
Vanoera nyanga dzenzou dzinopenya kunge zuva,
Asingadyi ruoko rwayo kana chidimbu chenzeve.
Maita vari Buhera neMurambinda,
Varidzi venzvimbo dzeZaka neChipinge,
Vakadzidzisa vana kushanda nesimba pasina kuchema,
Vane moyo murefu semakore anoyerera,
Hekanhi Samanyanga!
English Translation:
Thank you, Elephant, Thank you, Samanyanga (Master of Mighty Tusks), Colossal giant that clears dense forests without axe or spear, The unique beast that bears a dexterous arm upon its face, Whose footsteps, when planted on the earth, reverberate through the valley. Before whom no obstacles can bar the path, Mighty beast that walks in calm gentleness yet wields unmatched power, Who revere ivory tusks that gleam like the sunrise, Refusing to consume the elephant's trunk or flesh. Praise to the clan of Buhera and Murambinda, Lords of the broad regions of Zaka and Chipinge, Who taught their children resilience and silent perseverance, Possessing patience as vast as the open sky, We hail you, Samanyanga!
