    “Hadi lini mtanishambulia mimi?
    Je, ninyi wote mniue?
    Ambaye niko kama vile ukuta ambao umeinama,
    kama wigo ambao unataka kuanguka.” (Source: Nyakyusa Back Translation)
  • English:
    “When will you, my enemies, stop attacking me?
    I feel that I am as useless against you as a wall that is about to fall over or a broken-down fence.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
