VAMUDHARA

Haiwa baba iwe haiwa baba (Oh father)
Haiwa baba iwe haiwa baba (Oh listen, pay attention)
Haiwa baba iwe haiwa baba iwe
Haiwa baba iwe haiwa baba iwe

Vamudhara mapfeka manyatera
(Hey old man you have put on your sandals)
Mafungepi semune mari
(Where are you going, like you have money)
Vamudhara mapfeka manyatera
(Hey old man you have put on your sandals)
Mahunzwepi semune mari
(Where have you heard there is beer, like you have money)

Ndokutevera chete, ndokutevera chete
(I follow you only)
Iwe ndokutevera chete, ndokutevera chete
(You, I follow only you)

Vamudhara mapfeka manyatera
Mafungepi semune mari
Vamudhara mapfeka manyatera
Mahunzwepi semune mari

Kwaita hwahwa
(The beer is brewed)

Munongokanyaira nekukanyaira
(You make yourself proud)
Semune mari muhomwe
(Like you have money in your pocket)
(x4)

Ndipe mukombe wehwahwa nditande nyadzi
(Give me a gourd of beer, I quit shyness)
Ndodzana ngoma, ndodzana ngoma
(I dance to the music)
(x2)

Ndipe mukombe wehwahwa nditande nyadzi
(Give me a gourd of beer, I quit shyness)
Ndoshereketa, ndoshereketa
(I make jokes and laugh)
(x2)

wona ndoshereketa
(See I'm joking and laughing)
(x5)

Vamudhara mapfeka manyatera
Mahunzwepi semune mari

Wo iyeiye wo ndeya (vocables)

Ndokutevera chete
Iwe! Ndokutevera chete
