00:05 - 00:13

Khenjichakana nende lukano lwase olwolwo, nono nga bola khumwana omumalilisi Nekesa yuno.

This is a continuation of my story, when they got to the last born child Nekesa.

00:13 - 00:18

Ne Nekesa kanja kwanza khuterema anikina.

Nekesa started shaking.

00:18 - 00:27

Nakhanja khukhwimba tawe, bamubolela bali yimba ali tawe ese papa omulwale senyala nemba tawe.

The father asked her to sing and she said she was not feeling well to sing.

00:27 - 00:35

Bali yakhaba omlwale yimba busa sikila lola babasio bakhemba nono wesi kalenyekhana bus wimbe, kanja khurenga.

They insisted she had to sing even though she was not feeling well because her siblings were already done with the singing.

00:35 - 00:39

Ali tawe ali mbele aba ese omulwale, papa wewe ali ta wimba nio.

She requested to be forgiven for being sick but the father insisted.

00:39 - 00:44

Wimba nio, kanja khukhwimba nakhaterema busa ali nendi.

"You have to sing, she begun singing while shaking.

00:44 - 00:51

Nendi, nendi nise... nendi... nise saloma kamakhuwa namala ta, aloma kamakhuwa namila.

Singing, "If I was the one," she was singing incomplete words.

00:51 - 00:57

Nendi nise wibile, nendi nise wibile bali tawe yima busa omale.

Singing, "if it was me who stole, who stole" as they pressured her to complete the song.

00:57 - 01:00

Kanja ali nendi.

She begun, "if

01:00 - 01:01

Nendi nise wibile.

"If it was me who stole"

01:01 - 01:11

Nendi nise wibile kamabelee lusia lukitukhe mala ngwe mumechi, nga kaloma busa ario nelusia lukitukha.

Singing, "if it was me who stole the milk, the rope should break for me to fall into the water," as she said that, the rope broke.

01:11 - 01:16

Nakwa mumechi.

Then she fell into the water.

01:16 - 01:18

Naba.

Then.

01:18 - 01:27

Chikwena chamulia kakwa mumechi kesikha nekamechi kacha ario nebano bayukha.

She drawned and she was eaten by the crocodiles as her family came back.

01:27 - 01:36

Bayukha engo, nelukano lwase luwelao samwene khule nga litoto.

They came back home, my story ends there. I want to grow as traditional vegetables.
