Hondo Lyrics by Damien Marcus Gwini

Bira Guru

2021

Intro
Hondoooo! Hondoooo! Hondoooooo!
(War in the East, War in the West, War up North, War down South)
(Ichange iri hondo)

Verse One
As long as there’s a single person
Denied their right to live on the basis of their race
Religion or sexuality there shall never be peace, until the mind is shift
Ichange ingori hondo
As long as the women and the children are abused
So long as we fail to tolerate the differences innate
In each and every kind, and different point of views
There never shall be peace. I promise you
As long as the army and the police force keeps the practice of brutal tactics
On the people they supposed to be protecting
There shall never be tranquillity
The conflict that is latent will eventually erupt (true dat!)
Vhura maziso, simudza musoro
Hazvidi masvikiro izvi, uone ichave hondo
As long as there is a single soul on earth that is oppressed

Hook
Ichange ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
Ichange ingori hondo kusvika ruzhinji rwakutonga
Ichange ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
Ichange ingori hondo kusvika ruzhinji rwakutonga
Inenge ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
Inenge ingori hondo kusvika ruzhinji rwakutonga
Inenge ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
Inenge ingori hondo kusvika ruzhinji rwakutonga
Inenge ingori hondo…

Verse Two
I promise you
As long as the disabled are ignored and neglected
Not even the god in your churches that you pray
Will save you from the hungry blazing flames
(Inenge ingori hondo)
As long as we keep failing to recognize that animals have feelings and a soul just like you and me
Never ever dare to dream of peace
Remember every soul has a creator
How do you think he feels? Be real!
The children are growing faster than you ever thought they would
And even if you deliberately keep them politically illiterate
But as long as they can still sense that there is more than there is
They will never stop to search
As long as there is a kid still sleeping in the streets with nothing there to eat
We will never know no peace
Natural disasters, inenge ingori hondo
No freedom from disturbance

Hook Two
Inenge ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
As long as corruption vasiiwa vachifamba
Inenge ingori hondo, hondo, hondo
Inenge ingori hondo kusvika ruzhinji rwakutonga
Inenge ingori hondo
Changamire Dombo, Mkonto weSizwe kusvika waakutonga
Mkoma Nikita, Mkoma Josiah nemiwo VaChitepo
Makasiya imwe hondo…
