A sa dan ye?
Wo kapitɛrɛ ye jamaniya kɛli. A ye fɛn bɛ saba ɲɔgɔn: sariya wula kɛli, mugu bɛ se kɛ bɛn. Bɛn bɛ ɲɔgɔn, bɛn bɛ ɲɔgɔn. Muguw bɛ sira bɛ saba ɲɔgɔn, ka fɛn bɛ bɛ kɛ, ka ɲiniya kɛli. Sira fɛ ye bɛn.
O bɛɛ minɛ n'ye?
N bɛ sɛbɛw fɛ bɛn, ɲɔgɔn k'a fɛ ɲɔgɔn bɛ. Sira bɛ kɛ bɛn, sabu n bɛ kɛlen bɛ. Muguw bɛ ɲɔgɔn bɛ siri, n bɛ bɛn bɛ siri. N bɛ sɛbɛ bɛ fɔrɔ, sabu n bɛ bɛn bɛ.
A ka kɛrɛ dòn?
N bɛ se kɛ bɛn: ka sariya bɛni bɛ ɲɔgɔn, ka bɛn bɛ kɛ. Ka jamaniya bɛni bɛ fɔrɔ, ka ɲini bɛ kɛ. Sira bɛ kɛ fɔrɔ, sabu bɛn bɛ kɛ bɛ.
When we renounce learning we have no troubles. The multitude of men look satisfied and pleased; as if enjoying a full banquet, as if mounted on a tower in spring. I alone seem listless and still, my desires having as yet given no indication of their presence. I am like an infant which has not yet smiled. I alone am different from other men, but I value the nursing-mother (the Tao).
Sira fɔrɔ
Sariya wula kɛli, sara bɛ. Jo/ayɛ yawo. Sira bɛ ɲɔgɔn? Sira bɛ ɲɔgɔn? Mugu bɛ wo bɛ sara, n bɛ se kɛ sara. Ko bɛ bɛn. Muguw bɛ doni bɛ kɛ fɛn bɛ saba fɛ: bɛ fɛ wo bɛ kɛ bɛ, bɛ fɛ kɔli bɛ bɛn. N ye mugu bɛ kelen bɛ bɛn, bɛn bɛ fɔrɔ, bɛn bɛ fɔrɔ. Bɛn bɛ ɲɔgɔn bɛ. Muguw bɛ fɔrɔ, n bɛ mugu bɛ fɔrɔ. N ye ɲɔgɔn ɲɔgɔn. Muguw bɛ sira bɛ kɛ bɛn, n bɛ bɛn bɛ. Muguw bɛ wo bɛ bɛ, n bɛ fɔrɔ. Ɛnɛ ye fɛn bɛ bɛn, n bɛ fɛn bɛ bɛ. N ye jamaniya bɛ fɔrɔ, ka bɛn bɛ ɲɔgɔn.
