Ndakagara nepahwindo ndichiona denga raMbudzi,

pfungwa dzangu dzakanga dziri kure, mweya wangu wakanga wakakwirira;
wachi yakare yairira neusimbe pamadziro epa sitting room.
uye mazita pasi pechimuni mhepo yakadana.
Sezvo zuva rekupedzisira rakazara mumba,
makore atoratidza mwedzi.
Vanhu vachimhanya kubva kunotonhora, matama matsvuku nemhuno dzepepuru,
majasi akadhonzwa kumeso kwavo, uye nemoto imbwa yangu inotsimwaira.
Mubindu muti wekare wakamira, uchimirira nemoyo murefu pakufamba kwenguva;
Matavi awo asina kusvava, akaita seminwe mirefu, anonamira kudenga kwakasviba.
Ndinogara ndega nehope dzangu, ndine zvinhu zvakawanda zvekurangarira;
pfungwa dzangu ndedzekumwewo, mukutonhora uye nechando munaNovember.
