Rwimbu rwi Kiziri (Song of a celibate)
Alone in the night, a cold house, he is awake, hasn't slept. The fireplace glows warm. Keveeho ndio, referred to as 'it' and not 'him'. Muzigenyo zinyingi -wondering. Then he breaks.
.......................................................
Ha vandu varizanga vindu ninzi moni*3
(Ha, people are eating things and me awake *3)
Du du du du du. Du du du du du
Vaduya munyanguruga ninzi moni
(Hitting the 'hen pot' and me awake)
Dudududududu.
…...…....................................................
The song continues, somehow the man startled, somehow resigned.
