Mughunyande wamumati kapi arareranga po wangu matiku. Ame kurambuka wangu, mukondashi ame upampi!
My little brother sleeps very late. I wake early, because I am great!
Ame na ngenekango mo shite shaliyuva.
I am the one who lets in the sun.
“Ove ntungwedi yande yangurangura,” Mo va ghambanga vanane.
“You’re my morning star,” says Ma.
Ame kukukusha naghumwande, kapi na pumbwa kehe yino mbatero.
I wash myself, I don’t need any help.
Kapi natjira mema ghamatenda ntani namurora washinaliwiru wakunuka.
I can cope with cold water and blue smelly soap.
Nnaa kwa mvhurukitanga ashi, “Washa vhurama mayegho.” Ame kulimburura ashi, ” Narumwe shi kuvhurama, nkwandi kapishi me!”
Ma reminds, “Don’t forget teeth.” I reply, “Never, not me!”
Pakumana kukukusha, ame kumorora mamarume ntani nananeghona, na kuvashwera liyuva lyaliwa.
After washing, I greet Grandpa and Auntie, and wish them a good day.
Makura kudwata naumwande, nakughamba ashi, “Nakuru ngoli Nnaa,”
Then I dress myself, “I’m big now Ma,” I say.
Ame kuvhura kupata mbandi dande nakumanga marughodi ghankaku dande.
I can close my buttons and buckle my shoes.
Ntani ame kukara nashinka ashi muunyande wamumati ana hepa kuyuvha mbudi nadintje dapashure.
And I make sure little brother knows all the school news.
Munkondarongero ame kurughana nawa mwanavintje.
In class I do my best in every way.
Ame kurughana navintje vino vyaviwa kehe liyuva. Ngoli osho na hora po unene ne, kudanuka nakudanauka!
I do all these good things every day. But the thing I like most, is to play and play!
