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!
Chirikure  Chirikure

The family is destroyed
