Waloyo yamoni. (Waloyo.)
Wan wamito kot ochwe, oony akirok chutok
Oami! In, kot, alami ichwe. Ka i chwe, beber.

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.
