Mapfupa Angu achamuka
Asi zvichida asina nyama
Zvichida achamuka
Asi anenge asisina moyo


Hushingi ibesanwa
Rekutya nehutsinye.
Mhirizhonga yakashatira
Pakuti haikusiye wakadaro.


Mapfupa Angu achamuka
Asi zvichida asina nyama
Zvichida achamuka
Asi anenge asisina pfungwa


Ruvengo ihosha inososa uropi
Mutengo wacho iropa
Asi uyo anouraya,
Hazvireve rwake rufu
Rwuchazomupotsa


Mapfupa Angu achamuka
Asi zvichida asina nyama
Zvichida achamuka
asi anenge asisina Dumbu


Tingori nhapwa dzeshungu.
Tinodyidzana nemunyama
Hondo dzedu hadziperi
Asi Chikuru Kurarama


Mapfupa angu achamuka
Zvichida akatomuka kare.
Mukamapa Moyo nePfungwa Dzenyu,
Ndokuti ararame
