Langa, mulilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mulilo ulaumpa.

Fire burns.

Umulilo ulooca.

Mulilo ulabelesyegwa kujika.

Fire cooks.

Umulilo ulabomba mukwipika.

Mulilo ulakasaazya.

Fire gives warmth.

Umulilo ulapeela icikabilila.

Mulilo ulapa mumuni.

Fire gives light.

Umulilo ulapeela ulubuto.

Langa, Mulilo!

Look, fire!

Mona, umulilo!

Mulilo mubotu.

Fire is wonderful.

Umulilo usuma.

Alimwi ulaa nguzu.

And it is powerful.

Elyo kabili walikwata amaka.
