City of Anok Nyingeer who will comfort Wurnyang took over cows from my hand our cattle has gone a guot for cow's milk remained in the ground agout of my bight cow a guot for cow's milk remained in the ground Nuers played like a hyena Wurnyang took away cattle from my hand, so the cows had gone therefore came a faminein the village whereby a guot for the cow's milk remained in the ground agout of my bight cow a guot for cow's milk remained in the ground Aköytiɛmraan in this song wanted to describe a situation that emerged after the war between Nuer and the Dinka Bor whereby all cattle belonged to Bor were taken by Nuer leaving people with empty hands. Many lives lost here and all people were displaced then.
