The eyes of Nyemba – They look at me

As far as Veya can see

And she cries to me, her father

How painful to watch, but not bother?

Falling to the knee, I see as clear as mud

Nyemba – is not my flesh and blood!

Her insides burn, and louder the crowd becomes

Dancing to the drgums

We sing, and blow away the curse

Until her ashes traverse

The heart of Veya glows upon these hills

To burn away yesterdays ills

We place the ashes - in OKOVE

And seal away the curse

Hail Veya
