Lyrics
Bhi muchinanga, bhi muchinanga, rire rire muchinanga – Gazing directly and hearing the beautiful call of the bird
Ndakaona hwata richifamba dzu tarire mukaranga – I could see the upright graceful walk of the secretary bird
Ndakati ndaona mukaranga dzu tarire mukaranga – I thought I had found a wife
