Yie biro.

Yie biro koting’o yugi, Yie biro.
Nam biro koting’o mwandu Nam biro.
Yie biro koting’o yugi, Yie biro.
Nam biro koting’o mwandu Nam biro.

Onees mach kuom mach.
Yie biro koting’o yugi, Yie biro.
Ohero mana ni kop nwae.
Nam biro koting’o mwandu Nam biro.
Dhiang’ otho dala go odhera
Yie biro koting’o yugi, Yie biro.
Makao aneno kolokre
Nam biro koting’o mwandu Nam biro.
Dhano odak kuro te.

Mano Obange wuod Agoro.

Joma puro itok dala, Ng’ato onene hudhwe.
Ng’ato onene Otenga.

Adiera nyiri moko.

Joma puro itok dala, Ng’ato onene hudhwe.
Ng’ato onene Otenga.
Dhano nyaka tii mana mateek.
mana mateek ...mana mateek.

Idwa mana ni kop nwa…..Gi hero mana ni nonee…nonewa…nonegi.
Gin kanye.

Joma puro itok dala, Ng’ato onene hudhwe.
Ng’ato onene Otenga.
Okwongo okao manga,
Okaona mabeyo oweyona rodinge.

Joma puro itok dala, Ng’ato onene hudhwe.
Ng’ato onene Otenga.
Ng’ato onene hudhwe.
Okwongo okao manga.
Okaona mabeyo oweyona rondinge.
Oweyona rodinge
Okwongo okao maga..

Yamo odonjo idala - yamo odonjo idala

The boat comes.

The boat is coming carrying trash. The boat comes.
The lake is coming carrying wealth. The lake comes.
The boat is coming carrying trash. The boat comes.
The lake is coming carrying wealth. The lake comes.


Janes (Onees) Fire upon fire,
The boat comes carrying trash,…. The boat comes,
They just like,send us something
The lake comes carrying wealth, the lake comes,
A cow has died at the home of the thin one,
The boat comes carrying trash, the boat comes,
I have seen the homesteads changed,
The lake comes carrying wealth, the lake comes.
People are living everywhere…….., that’s Obange son of Agoro.

Those plowing the backyard. Has anyone seen the Kite,
Has anyone seen the hawk,

Truly some girls,
Those plowing the backyard. Has anyone seen the Kite,
Has anyone seen the Hawk.

Human have to work hard,…. work hard,….. work hard,
You want just because we will,..they like it just because we shall see, we will be seen, …they will be seen. Where are they?

Those plowing the backyard. Has anyone seen the Kite,
Has anyone seen the Hawk.
It first took mine,
It has taken my good ones……, and left the deformed.

Those plowing the backyard. Has anyone seen the Kite,
Has anyone seen the Hawk,
Has anyone seen the Kite,’It first took mine,
It took the good ones….., and left the deformed,
It left the deformed,
It first took mine.

The wind has entered home - the wind has entered home
The wind is taking our people - the wind is taking our people

The wind has entered home - the wind has entered home
The wind is taking our people - the wind is taking our people

The wind has entered home - the wind has entered home
The wind is taking our people - the wind is taking our people

The boat is coming…, the boat is coming.., the boat is coming…,the boat is coming
Eeeeee…,My song has gone beyond boundaries,Titi son of Omolo Ogwayo
Ogwayo son of Nyawenga.
Titi son of Omolo, Omolo Ogwayo, Ogwayo son of Nyawenga when you put him down.
When you put him down…when you put him down….
Titi son of Amolo, Amolo Ogwayo, Ogwayo son of Nyawenga.

Eeeee...My song has gone beyond boundaries
My song is everywhere ..., my song is everywhere,
Eeeee…, my song is everywhere.

The boat comes,
The boat comes,
The boat comes
The boat comes,
The boat comes,
The boat comes.
The lake comes,
The lake comes,
The lake comes,
The lake comes,
The lake comes.


The end!!!
