Zuva raBaba: kuna baba vangu vandinoda

Kune murume akadai munyika muno uyo
takurai matambudziko musinganyunyuti kuti munditsigire;
kwete mutauri akanaka, uye nyarara neni.
Anogona kunge asiri mamirioni,
asi gara uchisiira zvakandinakira.

Haasi murume ane simba zvakanyanya,
asi ndiye gamba guru mumoyo mangu.

Murume uyu, ndiye baba!

Kwemakumi emakore achigara kunze kwesutukesi,
kushanda kure nemusha.
Usambonzwa kuneta uye kunyunyuta hupenyu,
nguva dzose vakatakura chero dambudziko pamapfudzi avo,
kusambohwina kumhuri.
Ndiye zvose munhu!

Baba,

Kutenda kuna baba vangu izvozvo
edza nepaanogona kundisimudza .

Ndidzidzise kuzvibata munyika, uye undide hupenyu hwese!

Kutenda kwakareruka,
handigoni kuratidza rudo rwangu kuna baba vangu!
A thank you is too short'

Asi ndichiri kuda kutaura izvozvo
Baba, maita basa! Ndinokuda!
Kwemakore akawanda kudaro.
isu tiri mhuri inotsigirwa nemvura kana kupenya.

The first half of my life, makandisimudza

Kana tabudirira,
Mufaro wababa unogara wakavigwa mumoyo mavo.
asi nguva dzose inoyerera kunze nekusaziva.
Vanotitarisa, maziso ake akadzikama
nepfungwa yekukurudzira uye kutarisira.
Tarisiro iyi, semvura yechirimo, inotikurudzira,
kutikurudzira kutevera zviroto,
uye ive chikonzero chedu chekuramba tichifambira mberi.

Hatimboziva rudo rwevabereki vedu kwatiri kusvika tave vabereki.
Semwanakomana kana mwanasikana,
ndinoshuvira baba vedu hutano hwakanaka uye hupenyu hurefu!

PaZuva raBaba iri munaJune,
dai baba vose vari munyika rugare nemufaro!
