Hmmm Haaa Hmmm haaa 

Ancient one spirit spirit whisperer 

Lead your people lead your people

Wise one spirit medium

Zvinoda kushinga kumirira madzinza ose 

Hondo yauya chave chimurenga 

The battle lines have been drawn hazvidi vane hana nhete 

To be bold and brave hazvidi vane hana nhete.

Chorus

Mbuya Nehanda 

Waifamba nekashiri kamambo musango

Ah hoye hoye Ahoye Ahoye hoye 

Waifamba nekashiri kamambo musango 

Ahoye hoye Ahoye Ahoye hoye waifamba nekashiri kamambo musango 

Vakasiya vataura

As sure as the sun sets it shall rise again

The battle lines have been drawn hazvidi vane hana nhete 

To be bold and brave hazvidi vane hana nhete 

Chorus 

Mbuya Nehanda
