Wizeni nimutantere marusumo ganare

Papareni unongo wovakondi vanare, vanona mwahazumbana
(Gain the wisdom of the old, children don’t lose focus)

Tuyeni kombala yahompa

oye mwene etwiifana
(He has summoned us himself)

Tuzeni kombara kwahompa

Yininke yoyinzi anahara kumutantera
(There is much he seeks to tell you)
Yokuhamena unongo wovakondi vanare

Efimbo olafika

(Tweuya & Dominga)
Come
Let us go to the house of the king
He has summoned you himself
There is much he seeks to tell you
About the wisdom of the ancestors
The warriors used to hunt in the veld
While the women brought the sweet water
Listen
Let me tell you the tales of old
Seek the wisdom of the people of old
Young ones
Do not lose your way
