Nzuukuka ku makya ne nkuma omuliro.
I wake up and make fire.
Ninaamka na kuwasha moto.
Nfumba emmere.
I stir the pot.
Ninakoroga uji kwenye chungu.
Lwanki nkola nnyo…
…nga muto wange ye azannya buzannyi?
Why do I work so hard…
… when my brother is busy playing?
Kwa nini ninafanya kazi kwa bidii…
…wakati mdogo wangu anacheza?
