story
lumwi iwimbo iwamba kuti siamubbula
oyu muntu wakajaya siejenga kuhwange
ino, siejenga akafwa
siankwede, mwimbi wakamvwa lubo
kutegwa siamubbula ngwakaja ya siejenga
kuzwa awa siankwede wimba iwimbo oyu
siankwede wimba iwimbo
oyu siankwede tayandi muntu ujaya bamwi
kutegwa bazibe zibi
ndolwimbo olu iwamana

another song talks of siamubbula
this man killed siejenga at hwange
now siejenga died
siankwede, the composer, heard again
that siamubbula was the very person who killed siejenga
after that, siankwede sang a song
this siankwede doesn`t want someone to kill other people
he composed a song to assure other people
that they are to know what happened
this is the end of the song.
