Ichek baba che matinye kiy (Those who have nothing)
Agigochi kotebe ak mogorek, (You let them sit with kings)
Ne maitinye kalotune (You who shows no partiality)
Igimityi che nyeroti, (You give strength to the weak)
Ategisin aka anaten baba (I salute and praise you Father)

Ategisin inye kiptaiyat, (I salute you God)
Ne igochinin eng songorikwak (You who bless the barren)
Ago e Kame ne baibai, (To become joyful mothers)
