Ibiarona omre owhverhe robwebu ~ The eyes has had a bellyful is sleep.

Ohron na whelere foke ofuefu rasona ~ The eyes had grown weary from the deafening silence of the night.

Erhina ogwolorvre rhukuku rasona ~ The soul had anticipated a jail break from the prison of the night.


Beti, kohorhor rasona koregrhe ron. ~ But, it seemed the prison of the night.

Foke ofue furasona, unieokena, koriwie whiho ovovie ohor urioke ~ Until the very silence of the night was punctured by the crowning of the morning cock.

Beti, ovien rasona, korie kporwhiele foke elo ruokena ~ At last, the slavery of the night had been conquered by the freedom of a new dawn.

Rhontafe roke tetena ~ Looking out through the window,


Iren na kaigbigbe, ~ The trees were dancing,

Emeran swile, ~ Birds singing,
