Mughalha wethu omulere salibotsera lhuba. Ngabuka lhuba kusangwa ngawithe amani.
My little brother sleeps very late. I wake early, because I am great!
Ningye ngaleka omwisi inyingira.
I am the one who lets in the sun.
“Uli ngununu yaghe yomwangyakya”, mama akabugha.
“You’re my morning star,” says Ma.
Ngayinabaya, sindiyisunza buwathikya.
I wash myself, I don’t need any help.
Ngaumira amaghetse mabisi haima n’esabbuni ey’ebbururu.
I can cope with cold water and blue smelly soap.
Mama akanyibukaya, “Kauleke eribirirwa ameno”, Ngasubamo “eyihi sinangabirirwa nahake”.
Ma reminds, “Don’t forget teeth.” I reply, “Never, not me!”
Ngabya nabirinaba, ngaramukaya sokulhu haima na’songali, neryo inabasunzira ekiro kibuya.
After washing, I greet Grandpa and Auntie, and wish them a good day.
Hathya ngalimuyambalya, “ngali mukulhu hathya mama”, ngabugha.
Then I dress myself, “I’m big now Ma,” I say.
Hathya ngalimufunga amapese kandi nerikundika esyangetha syaghe.
I can close my buttons and buckle my shoes.
Ngalhangira nyithi abanabethu abanzubireko, bakakwama ebilhaghiro.
And I make sure little brother knows all the school news.
Omwamasomo awosi ngakolha ndeke.
In class I do my best in every way.
Ngakolha ebindu ebyosi ebi ebiwene. Aliryo ekyanganzire kutsibu omwabyosi lyerisatha, n’erisatha!
I do all these good things every day. But the thing I like most, is to play and play!
