"Death, that inevitable fate,
Dying is like a thunderclap from its fist.
And like a sword in silence,
I am stolen, heading to the grave.
THE STORY OF THE FROG IN THE WELL
As my day darkens yet dawn comes again,
After my people whisper with unease,
Those who resent me eagerly await my departure,
Saying 'let him go so we can divide what he worked for.'
They charge me in a court I will never attend,
From which truth and justice emerge with my verdict.
Oh my Father, do not forsake me!
Olumu mu nnaku ezo
ezitasuubirwa, okufa
kulinkuba
ekkonde lyakwo. Era
ng'esingo y'olusirika,
Nnyagibwe njolekere
e magombe.
EMBOOZI
Z'EKIKERE
MU TTUMBI
Ng'olunaku lwange luziba
ate nga bukedde enkya,
oluvanyuma ng'abange
bansiibuza ebinyegenyege,
Abankywawa nga beesunga
amagenda gange, mbu
kä¿ende bagabane
ebyange byenekoledde,
Nga bansibako emisango mu
kkooti gye siribeera,
Amazima n'obwenkanya
bwebilivaayo ne namulwa
ogwange, Ayi Kitange tondeka!
