mookAI - Rugare MuMoyo (Peace in the Heart) Lyrics

By the river where the waters flow
I went to bathe in the calm, moyo wangu wakazorora
Then a man-oh, sly and swift
Akatora mbatya dzangu, and left me adrift

Imwe pfungwa yakati, "Run, go chase him down!"
But ndakaramba ndiri calm, no need to frown
For chasing madness, you'll soon find
Vanhu vachati, "ndiwe mupengo pachena."

When the storm is raging, don't lose your way
Rugare mumoyo ndirwo simba
Chimbomira, usawanze hasha
Let the wise man's heart be your guide

If I ran, oh, what would they see
Mupengo mukuru, kwete ini
But standing still, I let it go
For wisdom's seed, I let it grow
Sometimes the fool will test your grace
But calm and patience will win the race
Rugare mumoyo, rumbidza huchenjeri
Zvimwe zvichawira panzvimbo pazvo

When the storm is raging, don't lose your way
Rugare mumoyo ndirwo simba
Chimbomira, usawanze hasha
Let the wise man's heart be your guide

If I ran, oh, what would they see
Mupengo mukuru, kwete ini
But standing still, I let it go
For wisdom's seed, I let it grow
Sometimes the fool will test your grace
But calm and patience will win the race
Rugare mumoyo, rumbidza huchenjeri
Zvimwe zvichawira panzvimbo pazvo

When the storm is raging, don't lose your way
Rugare mumoyo ndirwo simba
Chimbomira, usawanze hasha
Let the wise man's heart be your guide

Rugare mumoyo ndirwo simba
Chimbomira, usawanze hasha
Let the wise man's heart be your guide

Listen, my friend, to this truth untold
Not every battle is yours to win
Sometimes silence speaks the loudest words
And stillness flies where anger's unheard
Saka kana upenzi hukamuka pauri
Rega hupfuure, rega huchizorora
Stand in grace, let reason shine
The fool's own folly will unwind

When the storm is raging, don't lose your way
Rugare mumoyo ndirwo simba
Chimbomira, usawanze hasha
Let the wise man's heart be your guide

By the river, the waters still flow
Wisdom's a seed you reap and sow
Mira nerunyararo nguva dzese
And let the madness find its release
