Visiting Granma
Grandma, you look fresh like the morning dew,
O! it is the herb Of paw paw leaves
And dried snake skin, I drank,
Grandma, flies are too many here,
When flies perch on you
Don’t drive, else
You will invite trouble on you.
Grandma, its hot here,
Remove no hair
From your brow, else you
will get lost,
Grandma, I am tired
It is not good to yawn
In the noon, else
You will be in debt,
Grandma, I’ll rest a bit,
Rest not your head
Against the wall,
Else the spirits Will be angry,
Grandma, I am thirsty,
Drink water away from the pot
Else your head gets hot,
Grandma, I will sing a song
Do not whistle to the baby
Else she becomes dump.
Grandma, the Chameleon
Leave the chameleon
On the rafter
For they rebel sickness,
Grandma, the dog is howling
Let the dog cry
For it shoo off evil spirits,
Grandma, I think I will be going
Back to city today.
