Mona, umulilo!

Look, fire!

Umulilo uloca.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulepikilwako.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulapela icikabilila.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapela ulubuto.

Fire gives light.

Mona, umulilo!

Look, fire!

Umulilo usuma.

Fire is wonderful.

Elo kabili, walikwata amaka.

And it is powerful.
