1 God sey make I sing dis sorrowful song for di prince dem wey dey Israel:
2 “Una mama na really strong lion
wey train en shidren
for where oda wiked lions dey.
3 E tish one among en shidren

and naw, e dey chop human being.
4 But pipol for oda nashons hear about am,
so dem tie and trow am inside pit
kon drag am with hook go Egypt.
5 Wen di mama wait kon si sey en pikin

e kon train anoda lion
wey wiked pass di first one.
6 Wen dat one don big,
e kon start to katch animals
and chop human being like oda lions.
7 E skata where sojas dey guide well
and distroy dia towns.
Di way e dey shaut,

8 Pipol gada kom from evriwhere

Dem spread dia net

9 Den dem put am for kage

Dem put am for prison,

10 Yor mama bi like vine wey dem plant near wota

11 En branches strong well-well like royal rod.

Yes! Evribody si as e tall rish

14 Den fire katch di vine

E nor go ever bi dat royal rod again.
“Dis na di sorrowful song wey dem go always dey sing.”
