If Human Hearts Are Often Tender
Kana tine mwoyo munyoro,
Tichinzwira vamwe tsitsi,
Norudo ruzere runako,
Nemaoko ano mutsa.
1.
Kangani Mwari Baba wedu,
Murudo voregerera;
Kangani Mwari Baba wedu,
Votipa zvishayo zvedu.
Ko, kanganiko Mwari Baba
Murudo woregerera?
Ko, kanganiko Mwari Baba
Asina waanonyima?
2.
Vamwe vanobatsira vamwe
Nezvipo zvinomborambwa,
Vanobata mhandu sehama
Norudo rusingatendwe.
3.
Vamwe vogovana rufaro,
Vonzwa kuchemakwevana,
Vanhu kusuwa vonzwirana,
Misodzi vopisikana.
