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."

Owade who footed the bill. He deserves this 'loving song' as he calls it. The melodies played on the accordion between verses seem to have little or no connection with the song except as an extraneous adornment. As the singer starts to sing a verse the accompaniment reverts to the background and allows the singer to sing in the traditional manner. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).

Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).
