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.
