Trinity - Wadiwa (Lyrics)

The song below was done before most Zimbabweans went to Diaspora, but it sums up the dream that most relationships failed to be despite promises & desire, chance & time rarely meet except for a priviledged few who could stick to their mhiko (vows), but whatever became of your relationship, this song will bring you tears, either of Joy or Pain. I remembered it playing in my head many times, it somehow identified myself as I journeyed into Diaspora, the poetry so vivid, the Shona so deep, thank you Trinity, you kept us strong & believing!!!

 

Chikamu Chekutanga

Wadiwa wepamwoyo, urikurarama?

Ndirikushuvira musi watichaonana,

ndinorota tichifamba, maoko akabatana,

ndimi dzerudo tichisasana,

tichinotandara, pamushana, pamutamba, patakasangana,

ndiwe uri muhana nemupfungwa dzakadzama,

gadzikisa hama kuda mumwe handichada,

misodzi yekufara pamatama patichaonana,

nekumbundirana, mufananidzo wako ndikautarisa,

ndipo pandinotanga kurangarira tigere paruware,

zuva ronovira, ndichiridza mbira, uchindiimbira,

ndakakuvimbisa ndichakuriritira, ndave kuchamhembe,

asi ndinogadzirisa…

Korasi

Asi ndorangarira, kufara kwedu,

nguva iye, tirikumukwerera,

asi ndorangarira (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

chiso chiye, kunaka sengirozi (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

uchindinyemwerera

Chikamu Chepiri

Ndinogara ndichifunga, pandaikuperekedza kunochera mvura,

une neshamwari dzako, ini nana Kevie,

hanzvadzi yako yakanditaka nemabwe, ndikamhanya samare,

zvisinei iye arisei? Wairesi yaakarayira ndakatenga, itarisirei,

Ndakawana basa asi kushanda hakusi nyore sezvandaifunga,

ndofumobata jongwe, ndodzoka ranyura, makava ohukura,

ndinenge ndopakura, zvinombindikunda,

asi pandinofunga zvatinoda kuva ndoramba ndakatsunga,

mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira,

mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira...

Korasi

Asi ndorangarira, kufara kwedu, nguva iye, tirikumukwerera,

asi ndorangarira (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

chiso chiye, kunaka sengirozi (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

uchindinyemwerera

 

 

Chikamu Chetatu

Izwi rako ndinorinzwa nguva dzose, richinditaurira,

 kuti ndiwe zvose, runako rwako rwunoita ndimere zenze,

nyangwe ndirikuno kure, handikanganwe, iwe uchiseka,

ndakakubereka, ndichidzedzereka,

ndichiti unorema, iwe uchiti ndinoshereketa,

nekuti ndinofuridzira nzeve dzako, ndozevezera,

mashoko anonyerekedza, hana yoroverera,

inguva chete mudiwa, ndinozviziva unombovarairwa,

uchipfuura munzvimbo dzataivarairwa....

 

Chikamu Chechina

Shiri dzichiimba, tigere zvedu, mujinga megomo,

ohh mvura ichinaya, tichidanana pedyo nerwizi, asi,

usakanganwe, mhiko dzedu dzatakatsidzirana,

iwe neni takasikirwana, handikurase, ini ndiri wako

Korasi

Asi ndorangarira, kufara kwedu, nguva iye, tirikumukwerera,

asi ndorangarira (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

chiso chiye, kunaka sengirozi (mhiko dzedu ndichakapfumbatira, haikona kundityira),

uchindinyemwerera
