- Description
- Sung by boys and girls in their separate sleeping huts before falling asleep. Verses such as these are the heritage of most African tribes. a) "Kazima, wait for me, please wait for me. There is some meat on the roof. (I have something to tell you). There is something on the path. There is meat on the roof. b) "I-i-i! How alike things are!. The people here are clever. They visit secretly, so... The meat has gone away. With whom shall I walk? The story is told, so... To whom shall I walk?" c) "My shephard is dead, he striped and fell. Oh dear, oh dear. The goat cries 'me-e-e!" d) "Where has the mother gone? Where is she? She has gone to Malambo. What has she gone for? She has gone to buy millet. What will she do with it? She will make beer. (etc.) Verses are made up as they go along. 4 Children's verses.
