My grandmother's house
My grandmother's house,
My favourite place,
"knock knock"
The smell from the kitchen let's me in.
"Sit down my grandchild, let me give you some food"
Her always first words,
That I can't even refuse even when full,
If I try she says
"You can't eat and leave and leave without eating, eat!"
That really means you must eat
To make her happy,
Besides she makes the best food,
Except for'Mukanya'
Pumpkin mixed with samp,
Our Shona traditional food,
Everytime she prepares it;
She tells the story behind it,
How her mother used to make it for her,
And how her mother's mother used to...
