Here is a loose translation from Dholuo
Ondiege ero lao wa baba (Father, Hyenas are chasing after us)
ee ero negi negin negirwakonwa lep jochiende (Look at them donned in the devil’s clothing)
Ondiek ero ne lao wa ee baba negiuru, (Father, See Hyenas are chasing after us)

To kuonde monyono ogolie mach iro (Their footsteps emit smoke)
To kuonde monyono ogolie mana mach iro (His footsteps emit smoke)
Kama ongíyo, iro to wuoke. (Smoke is emitted at his every turn)
