Thomas Mapfumo – Jojo Lyrics

Nyaya dzenyika Jojo chenjera           Beware of Political issues

Ndakambokuyambira Jojo chenjera                I warned you Jojo

Siya zvenyika Jojo unozofa                            Leave politics, you might die

Nyaya dzenyika idzi                                   These political issues

Jojo siyana nazvo Aiiwa-iwa                Jojo, leave these issues
Jojo unozofa Aiiwa- iwa                        Jojo, don’t die for the country

Jojo usafire nyika Aiwa-iwa                     Jojo, you might die

Jojo unozofa aiwa iwa                          Jojo, you might be bewitched

Jojo unoroiwa aiwa iwa                        You might be bewitched

Jojo unozofa aiwa iwa                                        You might die

Mwana wenyu akaenda musingafungire           Someone has perished unexpectedly

Zvenika apondwa musingafungire                 Someone has been murdered unexpectedly

Takambokuudza siya zvenyika                  We warned you

Nhasi tiri kuchema shamwari zvenyika           Today we cry over our friend

Saka ndati kwauri                      So I say

Zvino Jojo siyana nazvo                      Leave these things alone

(back to chorus)

Ndati zvenyika Jojo chenjera                      I say beware Jojo

Ndakuyambira Jojo chenjera                     I am warning you

Vazhinji vakaenda pamusana penyika               Many have perished

Vakawanda vakapondwa                          Young people murdered

Vadiki vakapondwa pamusana penyika               Dying for the country

Vadiki vakapondwa pamusana penharo            Murdered because they wouldn’t listen

Vana mai vanochema pamusana penyika                 People are crying

Mhuri dzakatsakatika pamusana penyika                 Families are suffering

Saka ndati kwauri shamwari yangu                  So I say

Back to chorus
