- Chiwoniso -

Wegore , wegore (year)

Ndiudzeiwo kwakaenda vamwe (tell me where the others went)
Urombo kugara wega (it is poor to stay alone)

Sango sango rino (in the bush)
Ramiramira (it is standing)
Sango rangumukoma (this bush brother)

- Chorus -

Katibatane zvinhu zvaoma (let's get together, things are tough)
Tichabvunzani (we don't have anyone to ask)
Uchabvunzani (you don't have anything to ask)

- Chiwoniso -

Ndiudzeiwo kwakaenda vamwe (tell me where the others went)
Urombo kugara wega (it is poor to stay alone)
...................shamwari
Urombo kugara wega (it is poor to stay alone)
