- Description: "Just like that is what I do not like. When you cook you do not sit down properly but only squat. The white people here are from England. See-you are listening to me like a snake, my brothers, Why are you so black like a crow. Why are you so red like a "Jekwaya"? Look Franzi has had a child, the child Mujarai. I am Franzi-son of Maunze Mwiambo. I am from Chipumgumbira (Sipungabera. lit. the small forest of rock rabbits) Portuguese territory. We are happy at Kabira, here working together with the Italians. Sorry for you, friends who stay at home. Don't take "Joni" (a labour recruiting organisation) in order to come here. (i.e. come on your own). The tune is a variation of a well-known traditional tune in S. Rhodesia. Self-delectative song with Mbira dza waNdau.
