[Shona] I Was Here

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

Rimwe zuva mapeji achatendeuka...

Makore achapfuura...

Nguva dzichachinja...

Zvino zvichasara

Rudo rwataipa...

Uye hupenyu hwataibata.

[Verse 1]

Handingaendese makomo,
Handingachinje denga,

Handingawane zita rangu
Rakanyorwa kunzvimbo dzemakurukota.

Asi kana ndakabatsira munhu akaneta,
Kana ndakabatsira hope dzibhururuke,

Kana ndakauya netariro
Mumwe munhu usiku hwake hwakasviba,

Ipapo hupenyu hwangu hwaive nemusoro.

[Pre-Chorus]

Nekuti kanduru kadiki
Kunyangwe kadiki kanodzinga rima,

Uye kunyange chiito chidiki cherudo
Chinosiya mucherechedzo usingapere.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ndakanga ndiripo...

Kwete kuti ndirangarirwe,

Asi kuti ndirangarire vamwe.

Ndakanga ndiripo...

Kwete kumira pamusoro,

Asi kusimudza mumwe.

Uye kana nyika ichipenya
Kana rwendo rwangu rwapera,

Ipapo izvozvo zvakwana.

Ndakanga ndiripo.

[Verse 2]

Vamwe vachavaka nemashoko,
Vamwe vachavaka nemaoko,

Vamwe vachadzidzisa mwana,
Vamwe vachabatsira mumwe kumira.

Vamwe vachaporesa mweya wakaputsika,
Vamwe vachagadzikana pfungwa dzinotambudzika,

Vamwe vachasiya pfuma,
Vamwe vachasiya rudo rwavo.

Uye kazhinji rudo
Ndiro rinogara kwenguva refu.

[Pre-Chorus]

Nekuti moyo unorangarira
Zvino ziso rinogona kurasikirwa,

Uye chiito chega chega chakanaka
Chinova nzira yevamwe kusarudza.

[Chorus]

🌍 Ndakanga ndiripo...

Kwete kuti ndirangarirwe,

Asi kuti ndirangarire vamwe.

Ndakanga ndiripo...

Kwete kumira pamusoro,

Asi kusimudza mumwe.

Uye kana nyika ichipenya
Kana rwendo rwangu rwapera,

Ipapo izvozvo zvakwana.

Ndakanga ndiripo.

[Bridge – Choir Rising]

Kana chitsauko chekupedzisira chapera,

Kana rwiyo rwekupedzisira rwaridzwa,

Kuyera kwehupenyu hwangu

Kusava nezvandakawana,

Asi nezvandakapa.

Kwete vangani vakanditevera,

Asi vangani vakawana nzira yavo.

Kwete hupfumi hwandakawana,

Asi tariro yandakasiya.

Nekuti mweya wese unonyora

Nyaya muhupenyu hwevamwe.

[Final Chorus – Full Choir]

🌍 Ndakanga ndiripo...

Ndakada zvakadzama.

Ndakapa zvakasununguka.

Ndakarota zvine ushingi.

Ndakamira zvine mutsa.

Ndakanga ndiripo...

Uye kune imwe nguva mangwana

Chikamu changu chicharamba chiripo.

Mumunyemwerero wandakabatsira kugadzira.

Mumutoro wandakabatsira kutakura.

Muhopwa yandakabatsira kumutsa.

Muhupenyu hwandakabatsira kuchinja.

🌍 Uye kana nyika ichipenya

Nekuti ndakapfuura panzira iyi,

Ipapo izvozvo zvakwana.

Ndakanga ndiripo.

[Outro – Choir & Piano Fade]

Hupenyu humwe...

Mikana imwe...

Mikana yakanaka...

Kusiya nyika

Zvirinani

Kupfuura zvataikawana.

Hmmmm...

Ndakanga ndiripo...
