Lyrics
Nhai rufu wakaitwa sei?
Hauna munhu mukuru
Hauna mwana mucheche
Hautarise munhu mukobvu
Hautarise munhu mutete
Nhamo yedu
(Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti)
Tirivanhu venyama
Nhamo yedu pasi pano
(Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti)
Hatizvichengete
Nhamo yedu hona kani
(Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti)
Tineropa dzvuku munyama
Nhamo yedu kani mukoma
(Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti)
Hatizvikoshese
Do you understand?
What I'm saying?
What it's doing?
You don't have the time
To even give a damn
Said, do you understand?
What I'm saying?
What it's doing?
You don't have the time
To even give a damn
Kungotsvedza wotodonha
Mhuri yakutochema
Kusaringa
Hona njodzi
Vana vato nherera
Nhamo yedu
Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti
Tirivanhu venyama
Nhamo yedu pasi pano
Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti
Hatizvikoshese
Nhamo yedu hona kani
Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti
Tineropa dzvuku munyama
Nhamo yedu kani mukoma
Nhamo yedu ndeyekuti
Hatizvichengete
Do you understand?
What I'm saying?
What it's doing?
You don't have the time
To even give a damn
Said, do you understand?
What I'm saying?
What it's doing?
You don't have the time
To even give a damn
I'm curious to see
All your vital signs
Hoping it won't be
Just a cold cold cold flat line
Curious to see
All your vital signs
Hoping it won't be
Just a cold cold cold flat line
Curious to see
