TAKA BOTA - (A Mandinka poem)
Taka Bota
Kunol tita
Subol beh bori la
Nyamol beh jani la.
Ding ding kebba beh kidi la
Wuroh beh kuhma la
Subol beh boila
Muro ninfang ngoh beh wuleh ringh.
Dol beh ding kol sing na
Dol beh subol jani la
Dol beh loh njini la
Kebal beh siring.
Musol beh subol batu la
Dol beh turoh la
Dol beh jiyo bi la
Dol beh dah jong kih la.
Tilo bi na boila
Kewol beh subol sambala
Kebal beh no ma
Wulol beh no ma.
E. M. Ngum
(Ndaanan, Vol. 5, Issue 1&2, March/September, 1976, p. 18)

Baari Fellé lungo wullu muttoo
A ka wullu kuow booh
Baari abuka subuu kuow booh |
Clean your house before pointing a finger ... Never be moved by delirious Well-wishers in their ecstasy |

Thanks Janko.
Indeed, i thought Ngum did well with the simple way he let the words flow. |

Janko,
Ebou Ngum is specially gifted with both head and hands. Get to see his arts works and say where his dexterity lies. I bet you will choose Mr Ngum your model for a Gambianist.
