Tiri madzi koma. (We are a brotherhood)
Tina ranga rira vapevu. (We remember our dead)
In the jungles of Malaya
Seeds of courage once were sown.
On battlefields of brave Rhodesia,
Deeds of gallantry were grown.
Pamwe Chete, Pamwe Chete (Together only)
Behold the Osprey badge that they wear;
Mindful of the fields of glory,
Where no other dared to dare.
Pamwe Chete, together only, Pamwe Chete.
Tiri madzi koma.
Tina ranga rira vapevu.
Men of every creed and color,
Bronze and silver crosses won.
A thousand years of glorious valor
All in seven years were done.
Pamwe Chete, Pamwe Chete (Together only)
Behold the Osprey badge that they wear;
Mindful of the fields of glory,
Where no other dared to dare.
Pamwe Chete, together only, Pamwe Chete.
Tiri madzi koma.
Tina ranga rira vapevu.
Sometimes scattered, never shattered
By the politicians hand;
By them applauded, then discarded
Like a sacrificial lamb.
Pamwe Chete, Pamwe Chete (Together only)
Behold the Osprey badge that they wear;
Mindful of the fields of glory,
Where no other dared to dare.
Pamwe Chete, together only, Pamwe Chete.
Pamwe Chete, Pamwe Chete
Now we raise a glass or two.
To absent friends and Ronald Daly,
Fallen comrades and Selous.
Pamwe Chete, together only, Pamwe Chete.
Pamwe Chete, together only, Pamwe Chete.
Tiri madzi koma.
Tina ranga rira vapevu.
Tiri madzi koma.
Tina ranga rira vapevu.
