Oliver my darling

Oh Mutukudzi my sweetheart

Tuku my love

The great Samanyanga,

Africa’s pride

The cradle of musickind

Tuku the African heritage

My heritage.

 

OH! But why?

Why jewel of our nation, why?

Why taken too soon,

Samanyanga why?

 

Unlike other dirt minded

And blood stained individuals,

Your mind wasn't dirt but HEALTH,

Harmless and perfect

 

Your music, a tremendous soul booster

Boosting Zimbabwe's immunity system

Your lyrics heal this socially ailing nation

Your art work quenched the decades long economic thirsty

Your nutritious, well balanced music

A diet adequate in nutrients,

That erode and corrode all dietary deficiency

 

Yes! Your super ingredients art work,

Heals kwashiorkor nations

Jealous down Tuku,

The world salutes your philosophical music prowess

In times of conflicts,

Your music left the divided nation closely knitted

 

You were a superstar unifier whose lyrics

Never left any room for civil war

Even now that you are gone,

Your multipurpose music serves its purpose.

Your music still stands,

 

And still carries us through

The darkest and happiest moment

In times of trouble,

Your music cures depression

Your melodious lyrics echo at the back of my mind

 

The lyrics: Eeee todii, what shall we do, senze njani?

Reduce stress and induces humanity

Rinamanyanga hariputirwe invigorates and rejuvenate wisdom

“Bvuma wachembera” has no side effects

I remember your well branded stylish coughing,

 

You disappeared Samanyanga

But your timeless and time tested songs,

Are nothing more than a miracle drug

Naturally sweet without artificial flavour
