about
A nephew looks to a better future as he witnesses his uncles fighting over inherited land: “The bearers of hate are going to go away.”
lyrics
Nee owede laore kagitingo beti e pacho
Nee nyimine yanyore ka gi gonye leso e pacho
Nee owede siemore samipimo puotho e pacho
Nee owede laore samiloso weche e pacho
Otieno kagibedo piny tinde gi kuodho jii yawa gi ich lit
Otieno ka gitedo chiemo tinde gi riembo jii yawa gi loko jowuoro
Nee owede laore kagitingo beti e pacho
Nee nyimine yanyore ka gi gonye leso e pacho
Nee Owede siemore samipimo puotho e pacho
Winji, wia bara ka paro
Nee chunya goya kaparo
Winji wia bara ka paro
Nee tienda potho ka wacho
Gigi koro rumo
Nee (Gikalo)
Nee jo nyiego (kalo)
Nee (Gikalo)
Nee jo sigu (Kalo)
Nee (Gikalo)
Nee jo wuoro (kalo)
Nee (gi pondo)
Nee Jo wuoro (pondo)
Mane wadak kodu ne wangeyo wan owede
Mane wadak kodu ne wariwo nyaka lewni
Mane wadak kodu ne wariowo nyaka mesa
Omama (gikalo) riti mama (kalo)
Aweri (gikalo) wechgi (kalo)
Aneno (gikalo) chiegni mama (kalo)
Wawero (gipondo) chiegni (pondo) mama
