Becoming The Muse

Mucheka WeJira

Muchika wejira is Jah Prayzah’s first single of 2026. The track was released as a lyric video on Valentine’s Day eve, a love story for the lovers, which captures the beauty of love, commitment, and the emotions that come with opening one’s heart to another.

The track carries his signature storytelling which blends traditional and contemporary sound to deliver a magical tale that’s relatable to anyone who has ever loved deeply or believed in love…

Yet to find the final translation for the titular words Mucheka WeJira which differs with Shona dialects mucheka means cloth or fabric and Jira can mean cloth, fabric or blanket, I understood it to mean blanket fabric…. so, she was clothed in blanket fabric, maybe that would explain why she was captivating? If you have any other explanations and corrections on the translations below do share.

Mucheka wejira Jah Prayzah Lyrcis and Translation

Mucheka WeJira

Haa Wagwizi

Ko wabvanepi? Wakachena
Where did you come from. You are dressed up.
Unenge unogezera muna Zambezi
You seem like you bathe in the Zambezi

Huya uone
Come and see
Handisati ndamboonawo ngirozi
I have never seen an angel
Masikati
In the afternoon
Mufambiro wako mashura muroad
The way you walk, unexplainable in the road
Huya uone
Come and see
Usambocheuka
Don’t turn around
Semukadzi waRoti
Like Lot’s wife
Pira Gotsi
Don’t look back
Mufambiro wako mashuro muroad
The way you walk, unexplainable in the road
Huya uone
Come and see
Wakapfeka mucheka wejira
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Unodiwa nemvura
You are loved by water
Wakapfeka mucheka wejiraa
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Nekuti unodiwa nemvura
Because you are loved by water
Ndinokumbirawo rudo
I am asking for love
Unondiwana ndachonjomara
You will find me kneeling
Pakusunganidza hukama
In the tying relations
Tinotungumidza rudo
We lead with love
Vachauya tete Gire
She’ll come Aunty Gire
Mbire yavo ndeyekuridza mhururu
Her fame is to ululate
Pakati pehukama
In relations
Tinotungamidza rudo
We lead with love

Inzwa Dhiya
Listen Dear
Uri chimunana
You are a miracle
Inini newe
Me and You
Tinowirirana
We get along
Ndiri ndega ndinokundikana
By myself I fail
Setsvimborume
As a bachelor
Inoti chamuka inyama
Who calls anything meat
Amai mwana chismaira
Baby momma smile
Wondiregerera pandakashaisha
And forgive my mistakes
Wozorangarira pandakagonawo
And remember when I was good
Ndiyemurewo kana uchida
Admire me if you want
Kangoda pachigunwe
A diamond on the finger
Tisimuke ne dhakhota
We go up in a helicopter
Rudo hauzomboda
Love you will not want
Wakutonzi Mai vaRona
You’ll be Rona’s mum
Kurezvarezva mwana
Caressing our baby
Takamirira chimwe chana
While we wait for another child
Rudo hauzomboda
Love you will not want

Wakapfeka mucheka wejira
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Unodiwa nemvura
You are loved by water
Wakapfeka mucheka wejiraa
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Nekuti unodiwa nemvura
Because you are loved by water
Ndinokumbirawo rudo
I am asking for love
Unondiwana ndachonjomara
You will find me kneeling
Pakusunganidza hukama
In tying family relations
Tinotungumidza rudo
We lead with love
Vachauya tete Gire
there will come an Aunty Gire
Mbire yavo ndeyekuridza mhururu
Her fame is to ululate
Pakati pehukama
In family relations
Tinotungamidza rudo
We lead with love
Inzwa Dhiya
Listen Dear
Uri Chimunana
You are a miracle

Kangoda pachigunwe
A diamond on the finger
Tisimuke ne dhakhota
We go up in a helicopter
Rudo hauzomboda
Love you will not want
Wakutonzi Mai vaRona
You’ll be Rona’s mum
Kurezvarezva mwana
Caressing the baby
Takamirira chimwe chana
While we wait for another child
Rudo hauzomboda
Love you will not want

Wakapfeka mucheka wejira
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Unodiwa nemvura
You are loved by water
Wakapfeka mucheka wejiraa
You are clothed in blanket fabric
Unochena
You clean up nice
unodiwa nemvura
you are loved by water
