Looking at the price of sugar,
Leaves her feeling bitter,
Her son looks to her,
"Sizayenzani kathesi mama?"
"Angazi mntanami, kunzima..."
Their hope plundered,
And their hearts are left asunder,
In this typical scenario,
Of a typical Zimbabwe.

Bitter Sugar
Looking at the price of sugar,
Leaves her feeling bitter,
Her son looks to her,
"Sizayenzani kathesi mama?"
"Angazi mntanami, kunzima..."
Their hope plundered,
And their hearts are left asunder,
In this typical scenario,
Of a typical Zimbabwe.
