Flags of Love

Flags of love
Are roofs of houses from where smoke soars
Children crying, playing in the yard,
To be called by a name
Which is not your father\'s name
In the presence of your father,
Love tokens and pregnancy
Given in good faith:
Therefore, lovers,
Let us lift our flags forever and ever.

Mireza Yerudo

Mireza yerudo
Zvitsui zvemba zvinopwititika chiutsi
Kuchemedzana kwezvana
Pachivanze zvotamba zvazvo
Kudaidzwa nezita
Risiri rababa vako
Pamberi pababa vako
Nhumbi kana nhumbu
Dzibnopiwa muchvimbo
Naizvozvo isu vanodana
Ngatisimudzei iyi mireza narini narini.
