English:

This one I sing about the daughter of Kanyakwar
Called Serafin Atieno
She stays behind at Entebe Kondel
Abala, mother of Anyango Ogwang,
Moves courageous like a wild cat
Olima Anditi, nephew to people of Kombogo,
I sing to remember the daughter of Korumba
Sera, I play guitar for you, sister of Koni
Atieno, niece to Jokowili
I praise you, sister of Aejo
Just recently you invited me to perform,
That big wild cat carried my guitar
I reached Moi’s home,
A singer going to visit daughter of Korumba
You slaughtered a fine goat
And satisfied old Dickie (Dickson Olima Anditi)
Atieno, child of people of Owili
I praise daughter of Aejo
You brought so much beer
You got Dickie drunk
Atieno niece of people of Owili,
I praise the daughter of Magi
Lately I went to Kisumu, Kondele, to greet Seri
To greet Atieno, child of the people of Owili
Seri I play for you guitar, you beautiful girl
Sister of Koni, goodbye
I praise you, daughter of Magi
Say hello to Sindano, a big boy from Bungoma

Atieno, child of people of Owili,

A dog can be dug and it also digs near Kabonyo

Mama sister to Aggie, sister to Oluoch Olago

Sister to Peter, sister to Oluoch Olago
