Repeat repeat! ox has special horns! With white horns like elephent! A cow being milked with bigger container. Horn I play! Among my father's cows, Marial shine with different Dinka believe that cows belong to forefather rather than themselves, those who are living. Yoomic in Dinka is a word for something in bone, literally means good luck. Getting cattle is not simple among Dinka people, Akoy in this songs brings an idea of luckiness as another mean of finding cows. water section represents a section that name themselves as Pawiir, those who believe in God that stays in water beside the River Nile. Akoy's mother came from that section. God that stays in the River is call Akoi according to Pawiir Section Pakou is a capital cattle camp for Ayual community Pan-Yak and Pan-Aweer Adeer are sub-clans of Ayual while Pan-Abit Ayual is a subclan of Awulian, all those clans belong to Nyuak Payam Marriage is in the core of Dinka culture, those who did not marry are consider pools and unable in the society Palata are those living around the River whom their lives depend on fish and other living animals in the water Dinka people calls their sections using mothers' names. Therefore community belongs to women. Pabieech is also a capital cattle camp for Kongor, the leading community in Twic followed by Ayual AkoyTiemraan when he was struggling with life during the time war, he felt that members from the family did not took care of him. He was thinking to leave for a refuge, courageously, he could not accept to leave Pakou,senior cattle camp of Ayual community which is considered a pride for them. AkoyTiemraan through fishing activity bought more cows, a business that Dinka people do not appreciate. In fact Dinka people are very sellective of a business to take in life. AkoyTiemraan expresses that all wiphones belong to greater clan cannot completely gone after fighting. Meaning they are too many to disappear all. In case a man got no cow, he can think about any case that he can open against someone to be given a cow in return. AkoyTiemraan open a case against a man here and so he is proud of his strong heart for he was finally given a cow by the cort. AkoyTiemraan try to call upon his small gods to keep him alive and healthy. Long time ago, Dinka people largely depend on gods. There were individual gods, community/clan or section gods. In this case, AkoyTiemraan only calls upon gods that belong to the community/clan Hatred is the most unaccepted behavior among the people of Dinka. AkoyTiemraan raise alert that the world is full of hatred simply becuase is being mistreated by some individuals around him AkoyTiemraan starts singing with beat mentioning at first his cattle camp leaders who normally visit swarm areas when thinking about going to the river side, especially in a try season. Cows with bigger horns are consider the best according to Dinka people, AkoyTiemraan in this song expresses that there are many cows with bigger horns in their camp AkoyTiemraan prophesized that the earth has open up its mouth to consume people and has brought forward the fact that there shall famines following. This came true although this song was sung in early 1980s before the birth of SPLA in Bor. During dry season, all cattle camps cross to the other bank of the river for grazing. AkoyTiemraan stresses that his ox swim like sea animal crossing at the tall of the river. Guns in this context are use to protect and to provent cattle raiding for those who keep cattle. Akoy describes his ox as bull dozer for other oxes in the camp. Dinka people bother too much their oxes are good fighers. Anhomdul is a cow whom its horns grew circle. AkoyTiemraan wanted to tell many of the same type he has in his father's descendent. Upon starting of the rainy season, Ayual Community camp in Pakou all. People feel happy When seeing it full with cattle. It is a pride of the community. People kill a lot of cows to express their feelings and to worship small gods that belong the community Ox or bull that is set aside as special being for singing are most kept differently. Many people put them around where they used to be just to show favor for them. AkoyTiemraan expound that his ox is more shining like a commander in the Army. In fact, among Dinka people those who have more cows has Marial within to provide geniune color as a special among the cattle Here Akoytiemraan speaks out what is called Gua in Dinka. A man speaks out his pride mentioning few things about himself. Shine represents shining of his ox, repeat means kill other cow or more for pride and the rest described his ox and the milking of his cow.
