  • Description: "Just like that is what I do not like. When you cook you do not sit down properly but only squat. The white people here are from England. See-you are listening to me like a snake, my brothers, Why are you so black like a crow. Why are you so red like a "Jekwaya"? Look Franzi has had a child, the child Mujarai. I am Franzi-son of Maunze Mwiambo. I am from Chipumgumbira (Sipungabera. lit. the small forest of rock rabbits) Portuguese territory. We are happy at Kabira, here working together with the Italians. Sorry for you, friends who stay at home. Don't take "Joni" (a labour recruiting organisation) in order to come here. (i.e. come on your own). The tune is a variation of a well-known traditional tune in S. Rhodesia. Self-delectative song with Mbira dza waNdau.

  • 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.
