- Description
- "Girls come and listen to this song of disappointment. I came to Masina on account of my poverty (literally my 'locusts'). I say Masenra is my father! He was looking for white cloth in the fields. He is coming from Kwachingunde, He is a Sithole (family name), he came from Portuguese East with Mansera who is now an induna, I shall now go back to Portuguese East and tell Masenra that I am going back home. I am going to marry a girl at Mashona's village and she is very beautiful. Ritamashawa is her name. Although you hurt me what can you do to me. The great drum answers the small one." The singer constantly cuts off the last syllable of his last words in the phrase, thus making them appear to be iambic which is not the case. Self-delectative song with Mbira dza waNdau with 3 manuals and bell.
