about

"Godo" is a warning about the destructive nature of becoming jealous of other's successes (written by Killion Manyika). This, our latest single, was recorded in both Harare, Zimbabwe and Portland, Maine. (Produced by Matt Wasowski) Long distance collaboration continues and more singles are upcoming and in the works. Zvishoma nezvishoma. Thank you for listening and supporting our project!

lyrics

Pasi rino rinegodo iri pasi rino rineshanje ndabvuma. (Some of the people are jealous in this world) Munotanga muchiwirana kumagumo mopesana seiko. (In the begining you were in good books, why not in the end?) Maidya pamwe muchiseva pamwe. (You used to eat together sharing the same relish) Mumwe kungobudirira godo rotangira ipapo. (Once one gets successful you become jealous) Mairara pamwe muchifuka rimwe. (You were sharing one blanket) Mumwe kungobudirira godo rotangira ipapo. (Once one be successful jealous starts from there) Seke nguva dzinosiyana idzi, Seke nguva hadzifanane. (Seke, time of success differs-time of success is never the same) Munotanga muchiwirirana kumagumo mopesana seiko. (You begin with good relationship, but not in the end, why?) Seke unongondisekerera mumoyo mako mune godo. (Seke, you always smile at me, but inward you are jealous) Seke, unondisekerera dzamara wanzi Seke. (Seke you always smile at me [pretending love] until you are given the name) Seke Seke Seke ndiwe uchatondiuraya. (Smiler Smiler Smiler you are the one who will kill me) Godo harishande iri zvirinani upangewo mazano. (Jealousy pays nothing, better you seek advice) Huroyi, godo rufu kuparadza. (It's witchcraft, jealous causes death and destruction) Ndiwe, ndiwe Seke ndiwe uchatondiuraya.

Fungai rova ngoma varikure vagotinzwa iwe. (Fungai [bassist] plays music so that those who are far away will hear us. Muneni, Tapera and Matt...)

Godo rufu kuparadza vakomana siyanai naro. (Jealousy causes death and destruction, guys leave it) Huroyi Huroyi Huroyi Godo rufu kuparadza. (It's witchcraft, witchcraft guys leave it alone)

Huroyi- Huroyi-Huroyi Godo rufu kuparadza. Ndiko kurira kwayo ngoma inoti pangu pangu. (That's how it sounds; like mine, mine only) Handisati ndaiona ngoma ichiti kwemumwe. (I've never heard a ngoma sounding like, for someone) Ndiko kurira kwayo ngoma inoti pangu pangu. (That's how it sounds, for me only) Foromani, imi mapiwa nyembe zvinodiwa nebasa racho imi hamuna. (Mr Foreman you're given a rank, but you don't have the qualifications for that post) Panoda 1+1apa, Zvinoda 2-1izvo, Zvinoda 3-1 izvo. (It needs 1+1, 2-1 and 3-1 it doesn't needs jealousy) You always say to the workers. (I am the boss, you are fired, you go home)
