I go to the stream, you brought back dirty water, I go pound, you grind very coarsely, I go to cook, you cook undercooked food, I go to cut, you cut off to much, I go to take relish, you make it all dirty, I go to work in the fields, you go for young men, I go to wash clothes, you remain dirty, Little sister, your idea is a jealous one. Chisisi is taken from the English word 'sister' with the Karanga dimunitive 'chi'. Story song with Mbira.

- Description: This singer makes up all his accompaniments for his humorous songs and sketches which are in the true line of rombe minstrel material. "Little sister, your idea is a jealous one. I go fetch firewood, you brought back ants. I go to the stream, you brought back dirty water, I go pound, you grind very coarsely, I go to cook, you cook undercooked food, I go to cut, you cut off to much, I go to take relish, you make it all dirty, I go to work in the fields, you go for young men, I go to wash clothes, you remain dirty, Little sister, your idea is a jealous one. Chisisi is taken from the English word 'sister' with the Karanga dimunitive 'chi'. Story song with Mbira.

- Description: There were once two brothers who were both herdboys. The elder incited the younger to fight him. While they were fighting the elder brother tired and the younger brother beat him. So the elder brother ran away leaving the younger brother to bring home the cattle. The younger brother thought that their fight was over, but at midnight when he was already in bed he heard a knock at the door and found his older brother standing there. "What do you want?" "I would like to fight again" he replied. So they set to. Again the elder brother was defeated and during the fight they broke the windows and furniture. Early in the morning the elder brother returned and found the younger brother eating mealies, and the younger brother never suspected that the elder brother was eager to fight the third time. He offered the elder brother some mealies but he said he was still dissatisfied with the result of the fight. So they fought again a third time and again and again for six matches, until the younger brother decided he must leave the villgae for good. So he left his home and that was the end of the story. Rungano story.
