1 Ndiri ruva reSharoni,
2 Seruva riri pakati peminzwa,
3 Somuti womuapuro pakati pemiti yesango,
4 Akaenda neni kuimba yamabiko,
5 Ndisimbise namazambiringa akaomeswa,
6 Ruoko rwake rworuboshwe rwuri pasi pomusoro wangu,
7 Imi vanasikana veJerusarema ndinokupikirai
8 Inzwai! Inzwi romudiwa wangu!
9 Mudiwa wangu akafanana nemhara
10 Mudiwa wangu akataura kwandiri akati,
11 Tarira! Nguva yechando yapera;
12 Maruva oonekwa panyika;
13 Muonde wobereka michero yawo yokutanga;
14 Njiva yangu iri mumikaha yedombo,
15 Tibatirei makava,
16 Mudiwa wangu ndewangu uye ndiri wake;
17 Kusvikira zuva rabuda
