My sister's ox, how can we stay in this world? If a person is hansome, tall and brave, he may think that he is better than you A year known as Yang-de-miir, I was a real man enjoying dances instead Ladies, gracious beings who do not ask for food in public Men from a clan headed by Dau Toor have no one among them can dicorate my bull's horns A bull that belongs to a hunter, nobody can accept it either in the community Keep hoping my special bull, I will take full care for you when rainfalled But immediately when it rained other things emerged I traveled through Malakal via Lou Community I got a woman from Nuer sitting outside with her husband smoking They quickly called me into their cattle hate Searching for cow is not easy, Makang Adaau, it forced me to cultivate a grainyard that belongs to Nuer man Mawut Deng people told me that I composed falsely It that false, why does Kon Ajang praise it A man called Lonh de Keeny knows what I said in public Young men from the house Juach exposed me to all people in the community People ask me where did you get cassels and you did not buy it Garang a single cassel that belongs to Kuir Thuch Juach at its horn is going be made big by exaguration Maketh Gak Ajak, a righteous man from the house of Pajieeng gave me some money appreciating my songs I came back carrying some money in my hand, just like a person begging a tobacco I approached our place with a block bull from the family of Leu Reeng, a bull that I got from the house Joh My sister's ox means an ox brought as part of dowries of a sister when getting marring Yang-de-miir, means a year of gearaff, this was a drought season that brought forth many gearaffs in the land of Twic East Ladies do not eat publicly according to Dinka culture, therefore do not request for food in public hunters are of low profile among Dinka community becuase they are regarded as poorest since they depend only on while animals Rain season is the best seasonal time in a year, therefore people always would want to reach that precious time Dinka rarely work for pay back since it is not in tradition of Dinka, but Garang did in Nuer community to get paid so that he got cows for richness Garang was accused of praising bulls that he doesn't have and so he wanted to justify
