我弟弟睡过头了。我很早起床,因为我很棒!

My little brother sleeps very late. I wake early, because I am great!

Kandume yandi takabuuka bwangu. Ine ndabuuka bwangu pantu nalicenjela!


是我让阳光透进来。

I am the one who lets in the sun.

Nine njingisha akasuba mu ŋanda.


妈妈说:“你是我的晨星”。

“You’re my morning star,” says Ma.

Bamaayo batiila, “Uli lutanda lwandi ulwakumacaca.”


我自己洗澡。我不需要帮忙。

I wash myself, I don’t need any help.

Ndaisamba, nshifwaya wakungafwilisha.


冷冷的水和臭臭的蓝色肥皂对我来说不算大事。

I can cope with cold water and blue smelly soap.

Nshitiina ameenshi ayatalala nangu sopo yanunka iyamakumbi-makumbi.


妈妈提醒我:“别忘了刷牙。”我回答:“怎么可能,我不会忘记的!”

Ma reminds, “Don’t forget teeth.” I reply, “Never, not me!”

Bamaayo balanjibukishako abati, “Wilaba ameeno.” Na ine nayasuka nati, “Teeti ndabe ameeno.”


洗好了以后,我跟爷爷和姑妈打个招呼,向他们问好。

After washing, I greet Grandpa and Auntie, and wish them a good day.

Panuma yakusamba, ndaposha bamaama na bamaayo-senge, no kubashalikapo bwino.


然后我自己穿好衣服。“妈,我已经长大了!”

Then I dress myself, “I’m big now Ma,” I say.

Elyo panuma naifwika naati, “Ndi mukalamba nomba maayo.”


我会自己扣好衣扣和鞋子。

I can close my buttons and buckle my shoes.

Ndamanga amabatani no kukaka intambo shapa nsapato.


在上学的路上我跟弟弟说学校的所有消息。

And I make sure little brother knows all the school news.

Nshilaba ukweba kandume yandi ificitika ku sukulu.


上课的时候我认真学习。

In class I do my best in every way.

Mu kalashi ndabombesha munshila shonse.


我每天做这几件好事。可是我最喜欢做的是玩玩玩!

I do all these good things every day. But the thing I like most, is to play and play!

Ncita fyonse ifi fisuma cila bushiku. Nomba icikulu ico natemwisha, kwangala.
