Taa ye fɔli la se ka kɛ siraa la, ka fɛ ka taa, ka fɛ ka tile. Muso min be taa la, o be se ka kɛ fɛfɛ. Muso min be jida la, o be se ka tile, o be se ka fɛ, o be se ka kɛ muso la fɛ. Muso min be taa la, o ma ka tile, o ma ka fɛ, o ma ka siraa.

A ka kɛrɛ dòn?
Ayi! A ye tile kɛ! A ye tile fɔli la, a ye tile fɛ, a ye tile tile. A ye tile la, a ye tile tile, a ye tile kɛ!
The skilful masters (of the Tao) in old times, with a subtle and exquisite penetration, comprehended its mysteries, and were deep (also) so as to elude men's knowledge. Shrinking looked they like those who wade through a stream in winter; irresolute like those who are afraid of all around them; grave like a guest (in awe of his host); evanescent like ice that is melting away; unpretentious like wood that has not been fashioned into anything; vacant like a valley, and dull like muddy water.
Sira fɔrɔ
Aw ni muso ye waati kɔnɔ, o la ka siraa, o la ka fɛfɛ, o ma ka tileda. A ma ka tile, o ye u ka tile fɔli la muso: O ye to ka kɛ jida la tiŋɔ, bɔ ye muso min bɛɛ ye kɔrɔ, o ye kɛ muso la, o ye kɛ ji kɔnɔn fɔ ye, o ye kɛ che fɔ ye, o ye kɛ bɔgɔ kɔnɔ ye, o ye kɛ bɛn fɔ ye. An de be siraa la o ka fɛ, ani an ka tile, ani an be se ka kɛ jida. O la siraa kɛ muso ma fɛ ka fɛ, o ma fɛ ka fɛ, o ye se ka kɛ muso la, ka fɔ jira. O ye siraa ton fɛ, o ma ka taa, o ma ka fɛ.
