Domba Song No. 27

   Domba humbudza vhusiwana.
   The ruler's domba reminds (us) of (our) humble estate.
 Chorus:  Yowee, yowee, ahee!

  Vhusiwana can mean literally 'poverty'. Here it refers neither to the wealth of the ruler, nor to the debt incurred by paying domba fees, but to the hierarchy of rank which is emphasized by domba.
