Tala, mujilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mujilo upishya

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Mujilo uteka

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Mujilo upa kukaba

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Mujilo upa kutoka

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Tala, mujilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mujilo wawama

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Tabiji ujinangovu

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
