“Vadzimu woye” ~~ “Oh ancestors [, please]”.
Woye is a pleading word without a literal meaning. It can also be a response – if you call out someone’s name they may respond with woye, which translates to – yes?
Like Kari mugomba, this song is Sekuru’s adaptation of a nhare song also called Tadzungaira, or Nehondo.
