- Description: A lovely melody taken from a Rungano story. The present musician himself had added his own instrumental accompaniment to an old song. After the last song, it is surprising to find that this is played on the same instrument, the key or mode seems to be quite different. "He-he-he laughing! He-he-he on the path! Do not be surprise if you see the Buzi river brown, It was because Manyati washed his gums. It is really me they are talking about. The little girl has disappointed me, She told me to wash myself so that we could be lovers; So I waited to be the first to wash in the pool." Spoken: "This is why the girls all laugh at us!" Song from a story with Mbira dze chiNdau.
