The light grey colour is of two bulls (with me). A bright bull of the son of the clan that is as dangerous as Aids. Our clan cuts people down at broad daylight! A curve-horned bull whose horn is as thick as the morning 'thing'; your horns cylindrically swollen like that thing of a man who has just woken up. The curve-horned bull (Majong) that struggles with my double-braided lasso (rope) belongs to the whites (cows) of my father, Deng; the whites of my father Deng Arok Agau Malek. He struggles with my double-braided lasso (rope), Majong of the whites (cows) of my father, Deng; the whites of my father Deng Arok Agau Malek. He swings up the buffalo (tassel) between Panguet and Achuilbaar, Makol (a bull/ox with white patch in light red colour) does not graze on short pastures. Majong (the Curve-horned ox) that keeps silent with my loudly resonant gong, Majong that struggles with my double-braided lasso. The curve-horned bull (Majong) that struggles with my double-braided lasso (rope) belongs to the whites (cows) of my father, Deng; the whites of my father Deng Arok Agau Malek. He swings up the buffalo (tassel) between Panguet and Achuilbaar, Makol (a bull/ox with white patch in light red colour) does not graze on short pastures. Majong (the Curve-horned ox) that endures my loudly resonant gong, Majong that struggles with my double-braided lasso. By this description, Bol Deng is ridiculing the corrupt people of today in his ox song. This is an independent statement reminding people that he has other two bulls of his other favourite colour, grey. The Bor Dinka pastoralists are frone to cattle rustling from their neighbours, therefore, Bol gives out this indirect warning in his ox song against those who may attempt to take his cattle. There many ways messages are indirectly passed on in songs, e.g. Bol is trying to insult someone who has a big penis. The man always gets up erect to pass urine in the morning. Many pets are bought from other people, but by describing the origin of his bull (Majong), Bol is proudly proving that it is a descendant from his father and grandfathers in the birth order of Deng, Arok, Agau and Malek. Meaning of the phrase 'He swings up the buffalo': The Dinka decorate the horn of their oxen with a tassel made from the tail tuft of a buffalo. NB: Comment is the same as the first verse In addition to tassels, a traditionally blacksmithed gong is tied round the neck of a favourite ox as part of decoration, and to alert people about the direction of the cattle camp. Also a lasso is made with three strong twisted ribbons of palm leaf or leather straps for tying bulls or oxen
