And compare it with this and that but nothing good above singing My beloved brother, Diing Deng Tong gave me a special stick for chasing the cattle and my jengle bell hanger granted to me by Achol Thuch together with Ajang Ajaang is always a sign for cattle movement My tassels was given by Achol Maketh-Ajieec and Kiir-Alingdit, the hanging at the horns of my bull Kiir Deng gave me tassels before entering his house Sent them through Thuch Deng Gieu to me house When reached my house My younger brother ran to me before reaching the home Garang, there is a big black thing put down in our house, huge enough to specify I try to notice Was it a back side of the cow or is it a bandle of dry fish? When I look forward, I realise that it is a tassel brought for me Young men from the House of Lembeek to whom Deng Anyaar is a leader Diaar Jok told me that you got jingle bell hanger from the House of Deng-beret, get it from there I feel afraid, thinking Biar will get it back I call upon you Amuoom Kuir Ajang And Koch Deng-Ajokngaar, high profile people belonging to the household of Jobol Dinka people believe that traditional music is a skill of no comparison, becuase those who do it best got married easily and always become popular Brotherhood in Dinka is of larger family and for people of the same age Back side of the cow and bandle of fish are usually taken to in-law's houses for favor
