I wanted to look at all the flowers and plants.
Para iyok-hu, kulang mohon nå’an.
It would be mine, like a name.
Kulang mohon para u riprisenta yu’.
As if it would somehow represent me.

One of them stood out to me, I wanted to choose it.

My brother and his friends were there.
Låo dispues hu atan huyung gi bintåna

Mañodda’ yu’ lokkui’ shotgun para bai hu paki
I even found a shotgun to shoot it with
Hu huchum i tampin påkyu gi bintåna
