Imbura Poem

RAIN POEM
Imbura yizimbeni
Nihiriganii Ivare
Tarinda etonye vava
Navuza wirase mwigama
Kijira siitaangaa kunyirira
Yizaa numurumirira gwutarinda
Ni imbuza yo kwita
Itinyuraa visiki nirasanyia nisaranyia
Ni giingura madurengere nitavanyia
Zimbeni zivugirizana
Ziadikira muzizoreeri
Magina niganaara rosoma
Vana ni vahenda mioyo
Guku niyigaanira muvwasi
Mwanzu si guraviza ichova
Mukado gusiavuchi muvugika
Gohononokizi idisi ya reve
Igo garorekaa mmavovo
Uvwerefu nivuravizaa
Koheriza maresi mamwamu
Nukukaminya magina zana
Vaana nivataagadora
Nukubadura nivizavazavanyia
Na mazi giimbura
Maziriru zizizi
