Ndabvunza Mwari
Why tichichema
Why kune nhamo …
Why tichidemba
Nyangwe patofara so
Tinochema
Zvakuita kunge, takasikirwa kuchema
ndakuvuunzaa Mwari
Kwedu kune nzara here
Denga toripinda here
Vakabaya vachadzoka here
vanoshopera Mudzimu kaa ndewedenga here
Vanoshopera madeko baba Ndevedenga here
(Ava Ndevedenga Here)
Ahh MWEYAYI , MWEYAYI , MWEYAYI
Inoita ndigochema ) 4
Ndine shungu ndinochema
Kana ndichifara ndinochemaa
Pamuchato wangu ndakama
Musandirega ndichidhipisa munondiona ndakuchema
Musarega ndichifarisa munondiona ndakuchemaa
Misodzi pamatama haina kubudira hurema

Mweyaayi yaita yaita ndigochemaaa
Unoona ndakatenga mota
Asi Ziso ndokuchema
Ndinoitaa kakuvhiriingikaa kana munhu akuchemaaa
Ndamupfekedzaaa ring munhu ndokuchema

Song Review & Editor's Comment.
Why do we cry?
It sounds like a simple question until you really think about it.
We cry when we are hurt. We cry when we lose someone. We cry when life becomes too heavy. But strangely, we also cry when we are extremely happy.
A mother can cry when her child succeeds. A man can cry after years of struggle finally pay off. Someone can shed tears simply because an emotional moment becomes too big to contain.
That is the interesting space Surge Boss explores in “Mweyayi.”
The song looks beyond tears themselves and asks what is happening inside a person when emotion becomes stronger than words.
And perhaps that is where the real conversation begins.
Tears Are Not Always Weakness
Society often teaches men especially to hide their tears. Be strong. Don't break down. Keep moving.
But strength does not mean having no emotions.
Men hurt. Men love. Men fail. Men succeed. Men lose people. Men carry pressure. And sometimes, men cry.
A tear does not automatically mean weakness. Sometimes it simply means something mattered.
Mweyayi takes that ordinary human experience and turns it into a question worth sitting with.
The production by Jae Drilla under Summit Records, together with visuals by Mutare Hunters, directed by Eutman, gives the concept its musical and visual platform.
But the biggest thing the song leaves behind is not an answer.
It is the question:
Why do we cry when both pain and happiness can bring tears?
Maybe tears are what happens when the heart has more to say than the mouth can explain.
That is the question Surge Boss leaves hanging.
