Munwe munna o dovha. Futhi. 

Munwe mufumakadzi o lovha.

Futhi.

Zwandani zwa munna.

Ahuna vhuawelo. Ahuna vhushavhelo.

Na vhanna vha thabelo a vhana luvalo.

Mme wa lushie o vhulahwa mulovha,

Nga khotsi wa lushie 

Vhashumisani vha hoyu munna 

Vhari ndi muthu wa vhulenda,

Vhari asi muthu wa mmbiti,

Vhari ndi muthu wa ufuna uita Smoothie,

Vhari uya di thongomela mutakalo.

Honoyu munna muthihi we a do thavha 

Mme a nwana wawe khanani lwa fumi na rathi.

Ono fhedza nga khana a muvia mukulo.

Munwe munna o dovha.

Munwe nwana o sala a sina Mme.

Ahuna vhuawelo. Ahuna vhushavhelo.

Muhashi wa mafhungo a tshizwiamba ori;

“Rifa madakani, Rifa hayani”

Mara ngoho ndiyauri “ Ri vhulahwa madakani, ri vhulahwa hayani “
