Mumbyangegona gomumati kuhulilira kurara. Ame kulivinduka kupinduka, morwa ame ependa!
My little brother sleeps very late. I wake early, because I am great!
Ame nyame ani tokesa ezuva.
I am the one who lets in the sun.
“Ove mbungururu zange zongurangura,” yige Ma.
“You’re my morning star,” says Ma.
Ame kulikuhwa nyamwange, kapi ani pumbwa nkenye ekwafo.
I wash myself, I don’t need any help.
Kapi na kara noudigu womema gomatenda ndi mfewa zosidumba zosineguru.
I can cope with cold water and blue smelly soap.
Onane tava diworokesa nge asi, “Wa ha divara mazego.” Tani limburura, “Narumwesi, ntudi kapisi nyame!”
Ma reminds, “Don’t forget teeth.” I reply, “Never, not me!”
Konyima zokulikuhwa, tani likundu nomama wovagara nonanegona, nokuvaharera ezuva lyewa.
After washing, I greet Grandpa and Auntie, and wish them a good day.
Makura tani dwara nyamwange, “Ame nina kuru nye ngesi Nane,” yimo nina va tantere.
Then I dress myself, “I’m big now Ma,” I say.
Ame kuvhura kupata nombandi nokumanga nonkaku dange.
I can close my buttons and buckle my shoes.
Ame kuhetekera ko asi mumbyange gomumati a dive nombudi nadinye dokosure.
And I make sure little brother knows all the school news.
Monkondwa ame kurugana moomu na vhulira.
In class I do my best in every way.
Nkenye ezuva ame kurugana yininke nayinye yoyiwa. Nye sininke na hara po unene, sokudanauka-danauka!
I do all these good things every day. But the thing I like most, is to play and play!
