Tauya Kuzoona Mary is a fantastic little song from Zimbabwe that you can personalise by changing the mother’s response.
Learn Shona language by coming up with your own responses in Shona to why the friends cannot see Mary.
In this song some children have come to visit their friend Mary, but her mother keeps giving them reasons why they can’t see Mary.
Translation:
