'Grandfather'
Grandfather went to work. What did he buy?
Nothing
Your child also went to work. What did he buy?

The Zezuru person went to work. What did he buy

He bought boots to dance the 'shangara' dance
At home
This is a critical song about the workers in the cities who are paid so little wage that they have nothing to show for their efforts. At least a worker who can save some money to buy a pair of boots to dance to the 'shangara' dance would have something to show for their work rather than returning to the countryside empty-handed.
