Wenge Mambo Lyrics
[Intro: Oliver Mtukudzi]
Wenge Mambo, unenge mambo
Unenge Mambo, unenge mambo
[Verse 1: Oliver Mtukudzi]
Kumupasa mari, aramba
Ndemupasa mari, aramba
Hona kuvhengedzera ungati irema
Shuwa kuvhengedzera ungati irema
[Chorus: Oliver Mtukudzi]
Unenge Mambo
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Unenge Mambo
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Unenge Mambo
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
[Verse 2: Oliver Mtukudzi]
Hona zuva riye ranyura
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Shuwa zuva riye radoka
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Ndemupasa mari, aramba
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Ndemupasa musha, waramba
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Weti anoda ropa
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Mari aramba
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Hona kuvhengedzera ungati irema
(Kunatsa muroyi, womupeyi, kumupa mwana adye)
Anoda ropa uyu

Shuwa

(Haiyerere iyerere, iyere woye)
