¹Tarira, akanaka sei, shamwari yangu; tarira, akanaka sei! Meso ako akafanana neenjiva pakutarira kwawo pakati pechifukidzo chako; Vhudzi rako rakafanana neboka rembudzi, Dzinoburukira mujinga megomo reGiriyadhi.

¹ Haay! Ni ya wayboro hanno no, ya ay baakwa! Haay! Ni ga boori! Ni gonda mo sanda koloŋay wane cine ni bangumo ra. Ni boŋ hamno ga hima hincin kuru kaŋ goono ga zumbu ka fun Jileyad tondo boŋ.

²Meno ako akafanana neboka ramakwai achangoveurwa, Anobva pakushambwa; Rimwe nerimwe rawo rina vana vaviri, Hakuna rimwe risina mwana.

² Ni hinjey mo ga hima sanda feeji kuru, hõseyaŋ taji, Kaŋ yaŋ go ga fun nyumayyaŋ do. I ga sasare ihinka-hinka, ihinka-hinka, Baa afolloŋ mana gaze i ra.

³Miromo yako yakafanana norwonzi rwakatsvuka; Kutaura kwako kwakanaka; Zvavovo zvako zvakafanana nebhande redamba Pakutarira kwako pakati pechifukidzo chako.

³ Ni me kuurey ga hima sanda silli ciray, Ni meyo mo ihanno no. Ni gawaley ga hima garenad* dumbari ni bangumo ra.

⁴Mutsipa wako wakafanana nenhare yaDhavhidhi. Yakavakirwa nhumbi dzokurwa, Makaturikwa nhovo dzine churu chezana, Dzose dziri nhovo dzemhare.

⁴ Ni jinda ga hima sanda Dawda cinari kuuko, Kaŋ i cina wongu jinay jisiyaŋ se, Nango kaŋ i na guuru koray zambar fo sarku, Wongaarey kulu korayey.

⁵Mazamu ako maviri akafanana navana vemharapara, Vari vana vakaberekwa vari vaviri, Vanochera pakati pamaruva ebundo.

⁵ Ni fafa hinka sanda day jeer'ize taway hinka no jeeri nya do, Kaŋ yaŋ ga kuru waaliya bokey game ra.

⁶Kana zuva rotonhorera, mimvuri yotiza, Ndichaenda kugomo remura, Nokuchikomba chezvinonhuhwira.

⁶ Ay g'ay koyyaŋ te zawul tondo do, Da lubban fando mo, Hala mo ma bo, kubay ma ban.

⁷Akaisvonaka, iwe shamwari yangu; Hakuna gwapa kwauri.

⁷ Ya nin ay baakwa, Ni ya ihanno no soosay, Laru kulu si ni gaa.

⁸Hendei tose, iwe mwenga wangu, tibve paRebhanoni, Tibve paRebhanoni tose; Tarira uri pamusoro weAmana, Pamisoro yeSeniri neHerimoni, Panzvimbo dzeshumba,

⁸ Ya ay wayhiijo, ma tun ka fun Liban ka kaa ay banda, Ma tun Liban ka kaa ay banda, Ma koy Amaana tondi boŋ ka fonnay. Senir da Hermon yolla gaa mo, Muusu beerey tondi guuso do, Mari tondi beerey do haray.

⁹Wanditorera moyo wangu, hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu; Wanditorera moyo wangu nokunditarira kamwe nameso ako, Nechishongo chimwe chomutsipa wako.

⁹ Ya ay wayme, ay wayhiijo, Ni baakasina n'ay bina di. Ni gunayaŋ folloŋ n'ay bina di, Da ni jinda hiiri folloŋ mo.

¹⁰Rudo rwako rwakanaka sei, hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu! Rudo rwako runopfuura waini zvikuru sei! Nokunhuhwira kwezvizoro zvako miti yose inonhuhwira!

¹⁰ Ya ay waymo, ay wayhiijo, Man ni baakasina kaani misa, Ni baakasina bisa duvan* kaani sanda ifo cine! Ni jiyo hawo mo bisa maafe jinay kulu dumi haw kaani!

¹¹Miromo yako, mwenga wangu, inodonha musvi wouchi; Uchi nomukaka zviri pasi porurimi rwako; Kunhuhwira kwenguvo dzako kwakafanana nokunhuhwira kweRebhanoni.

¹¹ Ya ay wayhiijo, ni me kuurey ga yu dooru, Yu da wa go ni deena cire. Ni bankaarayey hawo mo ga hima sanda Liban haw.

¹²Hanzvadzi yangu, mwenga wangu, munda wakakomberedzwa, Chitubu chakapoteredzwa, tsime rakafunhirwa.

¹² Ya ay waymo, ay wayhiijo, Ni ya fari kaŋ i kali ka windi no, Hari-mo kaŋ i lutu, da day kaŋ go daabante mo.

¹³Matavi ako munda wamatamba, une zvibereko zvakaisvonaka; Maruva ehena nenaridho,

¹³ Ni kambey ya garenad kali hanno no kaŋ gonda tuuri ize kaano yaŋ, Danga alhinna da nardi* tilam,

¹⁴Naridho nesafironi, Karamusi nekinamoni, nemiti yose inonhuhwira, Mura negavakava, nezvose zvinoisvonhuhwira.

¹⁴ Nardi, da safran, da kalamos da cirfa, Nga nda lubban tuurey kulu a banda, Da zawul da alowes*, Da yaazi jinay beerey kulu nooya care banda.

¹⁵Uri tsime reminda, Chitubu chemvura mhenyu, Nenzizi dzinoyerera dzichibva Rebhanoni.

¹⁵ Ni ya hari-mo no, kali ra wane, Day hari fundikooni mo no, Da gooruyaŋ kaŋ ga zuru ka fun Liban. Wayhiijo ne:

¹⁶Muka, iwe mhepo yokumusoro; uya, iwe mhepo yezasi; Furidzira pamunda wangu, kuti zvinonhuhwira zvawo zvibudire kunze. Mudiwa wangu ngaapinde mumunda make, Ngaadye zvibereko zvake zvakaisvonaka.

¹⁶ Ya azawa kambe hawo, ma mo hay. Ya dandi kambe hawo, ni mo ma kaa. Araŋ ma faaru ay kalo ra, Zama a yaazi jinayey hawo ma du ka fatta taray. Ay baakwa ma furo nga kalo ra, A ma nga tuuri izey ŋwa, kaani izey nooya.
