A song about an imagined conversation with a prostitute. A song encouraging self improvement.
lyrics
Ndakaenda kuna Third Street muAvenues ndika ona hure,
apfeka twumini akati ''Zvakwana saka handina basa ndipo sadza ndine nzara''
(I went to Third Street in the Avenues and I saw a prostitute, she was wearing a mini-skirt and said ''I've had enough, I don't care, give me sadza, I'm hungry'' (Sadza is a kind of hardened porridge and part of the Zimbabwean staple diet)
Ndakaenda kuna Third Street muAvenues ndika ona hure, mahure hure hure hure
(I went to Third Street in the avenues and saw a prostitute)
Hure
(The prostitute)
Akati:
(She said:)
''Ndezvipi zvimwe zvekuita, handizive kwandiri kuenda x4
(''What else is there for me to do? I don't know where I'm going)
Zviri kundiuraya, zvaka pusa, hazvina kunaka kudaro, zvaka pusa''
(This is killing me, this is stupid, things are not good the way they are, this is stupid'')
Ndakti:
(I said:)
''Simuka, simuka, simuka mira uruwe'' x2
Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight for yourself)
Kana pasina shanduko, azvimbo chinja x4
(Without change there is no change)
Pese pandinodyira mutown, ndino ona mahure
(Everytime I eat in town I see prostitutes)
Simuka, simuka simuka uzvimirire. Simuka simuka simuka uzvimirire
(Stand up, stand up, stand up for yourself. Stand up, stand up, stand up for yourself)
Ndakaenda kuna Third Street muAvenues ndika onahure... mahure!
(I went to Third Street in the avenues and saw a prostitute... prostitutes!)
Dividing The Element is a Zimbabwean metal band from the city capital, Harare. Chris Van and Sherlic White founded the band
in 2012. After a few line-up changes over the years, the band settled on 4 members: Chris Van (guitar and vocals), Archie Chikoti (guitar), Nick Newbery (drums) and Mat Sanderson (bass)...more
This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
