Shona Definition
Kana chinenge chada mwoyo munhu haangachirambi. Kana munhu akadzimara ati tsukutu nechinhu chaanoda, anosarudza kufa pane kuti chinhu ichocho chikone.
English Translation
Whatever the heart has set itself on cannot be refused — the heart rules like a chief. Desire will drive a person to attempt even what seems impossible, and rather die than give it up.
Cultural Context
“Invoked about the overwhelming force of love or longing.”
