Waloyo yamoni. |
(Waloyo.) |
Wan wamito kot ochwe, oony akirok chutok |
Oami! |
In, kot, alami ichwe. |
Ka i chwe, beber. |
Ka monwa olelo (ber) |
Ka atino oleo (ber) |
Ka awobi owero (ber) |
Ka adwong olelo (ber) |
Eryamita ka jigi jigi. |
Eryam, alech alelech. |
Ka kot adok Burutok |
Ka yamo adok Burutok |
Ilech i dula. |
Kalwa opong dero. |
We overcome this wind. |
(We overcome.) |
We desire the rain to fall, that it be poured in showers |
quickly. |
Ah! |
Thou rain, I adjure thee fall. |
If thou rainest, it |
is well. |
If our women rejoice (it is well) |
If the children rejoice (it is well) |
If the young men sing (it is well) |
If the aged rejoice (it is well) |
A drizzling confusion. |
Confusion, a torrent in flow. |
If the rain veers to the south |
If the wind veers to the south |
An overflowing in the granary. |
May our grain fill the granaries. |
