15364. Garai Neni

1 Garai neni usiku hwasvika.
Tenzi garai neni kune dima.
Vanditiza vamwe vabatsiri,
Mubatsiri wedu garai neni.

2 Upenyu hwachimbidza kuguma,
Kufara kwepasi kunopera
Zvasakara kwazvo zviro zvese,
Usingasakari garai neni.

3 Ndinomuda imwi nguva dzese,
Mutsa unokurira muyedzi
Mudonzvo wangu mutungamiri,
Mudima, pachena garai neni.

4 Imwi muripo handityi mhandu,
Handine kuremerwa mushungu
Kufa, guva, kukunda kuripi?
Ndinokurira mugere neni.

5 Misa muchinjiko ndotandadza,
Penya undinongedze kudenga
Kwayedza kwazvo yabva mimvuri,
Muupenyu mukufa garai neni.
