Eelyo moyo wangu wakaduntaana akaambo kanguwe.
5 Ndakabuka, kuti ndimujalwide muyandwa wangu;

Ayalo minwe yangu yakali kungwenga mafwuta aamuro,
Akali kulokela azijatilizyo zyacikulukulu.

Pele walo wakaluunkide, wakalisakene.
Ndakanyongana naakaunka.
Ndakamuyandaula, pele tiindakamujana pe.+
Ndakamwiita, pele tanaakandivwiila pe.

Ino muyandwa wako ubainda buti bayandwa bamwi?
Ino muyandwa wako ubainda buti bayandwa bamwi,
Cakuti watukonkezya boobu?”
10 “Muyandwa wangu ulamweka alimwi ulasalala;
Nguulibonya kapati akati kabantu bali 10,000.
