Ndima 1

Mwanangu bata bhuku nepensero mumaoko,

My child, hold your book and pencil firmly in your hands,

Dzidzo inhaka isingagumi kana kubiwa.

True education is an inheritance that can never be stolen.

Mombe dzinogona kufa, fuma inogona kuparara,

Cattle may perish, worldly wealth may fade,

Asi ruzivo ruri mumusoro rwunogara newe kusvikira kare!

But the knowledge planted in your mind stays with you forever!

Ndima 2

Mukirasi teerera mudzidzisi achikuraira,

In the classroom, listen intently as the teacher guides you,

Mhinduro yose inovhura mikova yemberi.

Every lesson unlocks golden doorways to the future.

Shingirira mukutsvaga uchenjeri nehunhu,

Persevere in seeking both academic wisdom and moral Ubuntu,

Nyika yeZimbabwe ichazvirumbidza newe!

And the land of Zimbabwe will proudly sing your name!
