Ninaamka na kuwasha moto.

I wake up and make fire.

Ndabuuka no kukosha umulilo.

Ninachemsha maji.

I boil some water.

Ndakafya ameenshi.

Ninakata kuni.

I chop the firewood.

Ndateba inkuni.

Ninakoroga uji kwenye chungu.

I stir the pot.

Ndakumba mu mpooto.

Ninafagia sakafu.

I sweep the floor.

Ndapyanga.

Ninaosha vyombo.

I wash the dishes.

Ndasuka imbale.

Kwa nini ninafanya kazi kwa bidii… …wakati mdogo wangu anacheza?

Why do I work so hard… … when my brother is busy playing?

Muulandunshi mbombesesha ifi… ilyo ninshi ndume yandi aleeyangalafye?
