Chirikure Chirikure

The family is destroyed

Just listen to yourselves talking –
  The family is no more!
So, the family is no more, is it?
  Tell me: what are you?

Musha watsakatika?

Musha watsakatika?

Mashaiwa dzimwe nyaya here?
Hanzi musha watsakatika!
Musha watsakatika nhai?
Aizve! Musha wacho chiiko?

Handiti musha ndimi!

The family is destroyed

Just listen to yourselves talking –
  The family is no more!
So, the family is no more, is it?
  Tell me: what are you?

The family is destroyed

Just listen to yourselves talking –
  The family is no more!
So, the family is no more, is it?
  Tell me: what are you?
