Tye karo moo, no tye lacoo moo ma ki lwongo ni Joel. En ono bedo i caro moo ma ki lwongo ni Aya.
En ono pe paro pi gwoko cam pi anyim. No mere lanyo alanya.
Wa nyig bel acel moo pe odong i dero.
Anyogi oran otwoo ko weng.
Lapiro obino obayo wi deero weng.
Litino ki laaro ko dek ma odong i cubu riya.
Mego obutu ingom kun kok ni man dong imiyo ngo ki litino nino mukene?
Won gang obedo ite ot kun paaro pi anyim.
