[Shona] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Tiri tiri tiri, tiri tiri tiri…  
Ngatya, ngatya, ngatya…

[Verse 1]  
Takanyatso tarisa nzira yedu, kunyangwe mazuva achipfuura,  
Moyo wechokwadi, rwiyo rwakasimba rwuri kumusoro.  
Zvinhu zvese zvatinotora, zvinhu zvatinofunga kuti tiite,  
Tinobva takanyatsoziva — asi rudo runogara.

Takazvipira here kupindura pamoyo here?  
Takabatsira here mumwe kusimuka?  
Takapa here chimwe chinhu chiri nani?  
Takavhura here nekudzikama?

[Pre-Chorus]  
Pakupedzisira hazvisi zvemari,  
Hazvisi simba ratinotakura,  
Hupenyu hwedu hunotungamira nzira…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 Tiri kufamba — chii chicharamba?  
Rudo rwakaunzwa here kana kutambura?  
Moyo yese, hupenyu hese hwatinoziva —  
Pasi rino ratinopa kana tichifamba.

🌍 Tiri kufamba — chii chichasimuka?  
Moyo wakasimba uye maziso akazaruka?  
Mweya yese yatinoshanda nayo —  
Ramangwana kana tichifamba.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
Kana tichifamba… kana tichifamba…

[Verse 2]  
Pasi rino ratinogovera rakasimba, asi rakanaka uye rakazara,  
Mutsa wese unounza imwe mwenje.  
Hakuna munhu anofamba oga kana tichisarudza kuona,  
Hupenyu hwako uye hwangu huri nyaya imwe chete.

Dzidzisa mwana ari padhuze,  
Muratidze kutarisirwa,  
Mupa chimwe chinhu chiri nani kupfuura zvese —  
Mupa tariro yekugovera.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Chinhu chatinokanganisa pamoyo yevanhu,  
Chicharamba chichikura pamusoro pezvose zvatinazvo,  
Tichanzwa kwechinguva chirefu kupfuura mazuva edu…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 Tiri kufamba — chii chicharamba?  
Rudo rwakaunzwa here kana kutambura?  
Moyo yese, hupenyu hese hwatinoziva —  
Pasi rino ratinopa kana tichifamba.

🌍 Tiri kufamba — chii chichasimuka?  
Moyo wakasimba uye maziso akazaruka?  
Mweya yese yatinoshanda nayo —  
Ramangwana kana tichifamba.

Ohhh…

Simudzira izwi rako — kune avo vachauya,  
Mwanasikana wese, mwanakomana wese.

Ticharonga mangwana nhasi.

Hapana kutya, hapana kupatsanurwa,  
Isu tiri imwe — tichasimuka pamwe chete.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]

Pasi rino ratinopa kana tichifamba.

🌍 Tiri kufamba — vanosimuka,  
Uye tariro yedu pamaziso avo.

Ramangwana kana tichifamba.

Isu tiri pano chete…
