Dai Ndiri Shiri by Mgcini Nyoni

Model - Mary Kapumha

Dai ndiri shiri*

ndaibhururuka**

To a place peaceful

a place of still waters

and peaceful  dreams

Dai ndiri shiri

I would fly

to the place

where maidens

dance in the rain

and there is

always a pot

of gold

at the end

of the rainbow

Dai ndiri shiri

I would fly

to the sky

and grab

all the illusive

dreams

and opportunities

so that I can sing

I can

Ndai ndiri shiri

ndaibururuka

to that place

of still waters

that sooth the soul

from the this

tortuous world

that threaten

to swallow me whole

Dai ndiri shiri...

*Dai ndiri shiri – if I was a  bird

**Ndaibhururuka – I would fly
