about

A song sung by a man, likening a woman’s graceful movements to those of a secretary bird ‘hwata’.

lyrics

Bhi muchinanga, bhi muchinanga, rire rire muchinanga – Gazing directly and hearing the beautiful call of the bird

Ndakaona hwata richifamba dzu tarire mukaranga – I could see the upright graceful walk of the secretary bird

Ndakati ndaona mukaranga dzu tarire mukaranga – I thought I had found a wife
