    Lyrics (Translated from Shona)
    Neria, Neria oooohh
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    God is with you, Neria
    God is with you
    Losing your husband, sister
    requires that you be of strong heart
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    God is with you, Neria
    God is with you
    Neria, Neria oooohh
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    God is with you, Neria
    God is with you
    Life is full of twists and turns
    Beware of winds bringing trials/tribulations
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    God is with you, Neria
    God is with you
    Women are often treated as slaves
    Living life like orphans
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Be brave, oh heart, be brave
    God is with you
    Death is so jealous
    Splitting up loved ones
    Don't lose heart, my sister
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Persevere, oh Neria
    God is with you
    Neria, Neria oooohh
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Don't lose heart, Neria
    God is with you
    Persevere, oh Neria
    God is with you

    I heard this song, sitting at a Java restaurant in Nairobi. I called one of the waiters to ask him who the singer of that beautiful song. That is how I discovered Tuku. From then on I would listen to his music every evening. Then one day, travelling to Dakar, I was at Java restaurant at Jomo Kenyatta airport, Nairobi some guys came to ask me if they could take the seats at the table where I was sitting alone. I said sure and they went to get their colleagues. What a shock or was it astonishment? Tuku was the guy they were getting a seat for, with his team. I was just Boucher bée. I had to shake his hand and soak the moment. Rest in peace Tuku. You made us proud.

    To those asking the meaning of this masterpiece.
    This song is a soundtrack to a Zim movie called Neria. Its a didactic movie that's set to expose cultural injustices that widows experience at the hands of late husbands' families particularly in Zim. It's about a widow Neria who lost her husband in an accident, subsequently his relatives possessed everything eg house , furniture, money, leaving her with nothing as he was the bread winner. Tuku in this song is basically consoling her.
    Traslation... "Neria don't be disheartened God is watching over you.
    Its not easy to lose a husband.. Death is jealous it separates loved ones.."...

    This song brought changes to the Zimbabwean justice system against Widows and how in-laws treat them when a spouse dies. Anyone remember how the law was changed post this song and movie to cater to Women who have lost their spouses and prevent financial and material abuse from their in-Law’s. I was widowed in 1999, I remember this song like yesterday. Thank you Tuku for standing up for women’s rights.

    Fresh memories rushes back like an avalanche. Remember watching Neria when I was 10 in Apach in Northern Uganda. When he came to Uganda during one of the Blankets and wine and he played this, I literally shaded tears. I did not attend the event but for some unknown reasons, when he started playing this song, the wind direction changed and bang, i froze. Just so you know, I am a emotionally hard but that day I realised I am a jelly bean. RIP Baba.
