- Description: A certain wizard, so the story goes, once caught a secretary bird and brought it into his house alive in order to use it for magical purposes and for killing other people. Now, this man soon died and left this secretary birf behind. So he sings this song to mock who use magic because they will surely die, just the same. :There are foolish men who leave their families unprovided for while they go off with prostitutes." "There is sadness which envelopes a child when its parents die, and a sadness also which envelopes a parent when its child dies." Self-delectative song with Kankowele fan-shaped mbira, mbira with external resonator.

- Description: The Lala often take the work of tree-felling for others, as they are specially good at it. "I began felling trees in my youth, and did not have a son-in-law to help me (i.e. he had no daughter to be married). So I took my axe and did the work alone. People belonging to the "Sand" clan (totem) are clever, because they choose a specially large tree and worship there, considering it to be a great work of God." "There are women who despise those men who stay at home in the country, so let me go to the town to marry a wiser man." The tribe being matrilineal inherits through the female side. A son-in-law has to assist his wife's family-hence the reference to "no son-in-law to help him." Self-delectative song with Kankowele mbira, fan-shaped, with external resonator

"Toranchi" has taught me how to shoot on the rifle range, so, now I have learnt to shoot, I may be going to the war, and do not know if I will ever come back." This is a piece of fantasy, for in fact, Mr. Torrence has not taught him to shoot, but it is an oblique form of flattery and praise. He is fond of Mr. Torrence who is assistant African personnel manager, and that is why he sings about him in this way. The fact that Mr. Torrence was an officer in the King's African Rifles during the war may have contributed to the singer's hero worship of him. Self-delectative song with Kankowele fan-shaped mbira with external resonator.
