And now I walk the Concrete apron
Great skyliner standing by
Dare not turn to wave a last time
Lest they see my hazy eyes

Just like a flashback in the movie
On a screen far in my mind
I live the precious days all over
All in a molecule of time

Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Mashonaland, farewell

Proud were the eagles on the water
Their mighty wings embraced the sky
White hooded watchеrs of the river
No more to hеar your plaintive cry

And still I marvel at the forest
The baobab in silhouette
Golden sunglow on the faces
Of the folk I can't forget

Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Mashonaland, farewell

The copper trinkets in the window
The picture postcards of the sights
Jacaranda littered sidewalks
Cricket-serenaded nights

Two suntanned arms that were around me
Lips that kissed a fleeting why
Eyes that questioned me with sadness
Must sweet togetherness just die?

Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Mashonaland, farewell

Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
Try not to let the sorrow tell
