- This is two hunters' songs with the same tune. The English translation of the first song's lyrics are as follows (with original Mampruli after)
Search and search and didn’t find to kill,
What’ll I do to be happy?
Search and search and didn’t find to come home,
What’ll I do to be happier?
Search and search and didn’t carry to come home,
What’ll I do to be happy?
--- MAMPRULI --
Bɔ, n-bɔ n bu nya n-ku
N niŋi wula ka di maai ma?
Bɔ, n-bɔ n bu nya n-kuli
N niŋi wula ka di mara?
Bɔ, n-bɔ n bu zi n-kuli
N niŋi wula ka di maai ma?
------------- The second song's English lyrics are:
My father is the chief of the wildness, ooo
and I become the wildness child
I follow them…
Allow me to follow them and know the wilderness
Ya’ll just allow me to follow them & know the bush
Follow them, Yilaana people*
and follow them & know the bush
Follow them, yanliri people**
and follow them & know the bush
* Yilaana is a village
** yanliri is those with magical vanishing powers
----- MAMPRULI -----
M ba nyɛ la Yoonaaba, yee
ka niŋi yoo bumbilla
N-dɔli ba…
Kyɛ ka n-dɔli ba n-baŋŋi yoo
Ya kur kyɛ ka n-dɔli ba n-baŋŋi yoo
N-dɔli ba, Yilaana nira,
n-dɔli ba n-baŋŋi yoo
N-dɔli ba, yanliri nira,
n-dɔli ba n-baŋŋi yoo

Thanks for the video Haunt. I'm a native of Nalarigu but a resident of the Netherlands. It will interest you to know that the man singing is my direct uncle, the house he lives in is my late mother's house and where he is sitting is my late mother's grave.
This is my family. proud Northern
